Possible copyright issues, as its a Gizmodo image Eraserhead1 (talk) 17:51, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
- delete Actually the person who took them works for Gizmodo, however any work he does theoretically belongs to the company that is paying for it, but either way the image contains copyrighted elements of the iPhone OS, COM:DW violation.--Terrillja (talk) 20:11, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
- keep: All UI elements displayed in the photograph are not eligible for copyright. --ahellwig (talk) 23:43, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
- Except that they already are copyrighted under US copyright law. We are talking about images hosted in the US which are subject to US laws.--Terrillja (talk) 02:28, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
- Comment no, they are not. The software is copyrighted, but that does not make every screenshot from it copyrighted, since some elements of UI interfaces (such as standard controls) are not eligible for copyright (said differently: There's no artistic work involved in creating them) --PaterMcFly (talk) 22:25, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
- Then do you have ano proof that these are free elements? As I understand it, the proprietary UI shown here as the focus of the image contains IP owned by apple, and if it is non-free software then it cannot be licensed here.--Terrillja (talk) 23:50, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
- That's not uppon apple to decide. There are things Apple just cannot claim copyright for, because they cannot be copyrighted due to lack of artistic work (even if they say otherwise, see en:Copyfraud.) --PaterMcFly (talk) 15:29, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

- comment Thinking about it some more the issue here I guess is whether he is allowed to release work on Flickr as it belongs to his employer. Eraserhead1 (talk) 23:49, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
Keep Your argument is specious and assumes facts not in evidence. You have no idea what kind of financial arrangement the photographer has with Gizmodo. -Nard the Bard 22:19, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
- comment this also applies to Commons:Deletion requests/File:Steve Jobs with the Apple iPad no logo.jpg Eraserhead1 (talk) 23:11, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
- Keep - Per arguments presented at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Apple iPad Event02.jpg. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 05:48, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
- Keep - Surely if this is an argument based on whether or not it is legal to display elements of the UI - This should be a matter for Apple inc. and not Gizmodo. Last I checked this kind of publicity would be welcome in the eyes of Apple. --Chris Schofield (talk) 14:12, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
- Keep - Agree. --NerdyScienceDude :) (✉ click here to talk to me) 23:16, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
