Non-free screen capture uploaded improperly to Commons TAnthony (talk) 15:22, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The screenshot is taken from a video originally uploaded to YouTube under a CC-BY-3.0 license. Starklinson 17:01, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]


Deleted: Not because it is from YouTube. The license listed at the link does say Creative Commons and is acceptable here. However, the YouTube uploader does not appear to have any affiliation with the video at all so this appears to be license laundering. Deleted on those grounds. --Majora (talk) 21:37, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I originally deleted this image because I believed that it was license laundering. However further information was brought to light that I thought I would reopen it. That and my action, deleting the image speedily instead of allowing the DR to continue for the prescribed 7 days, may have been out of process. I still believe that this may be a license laundering incident. The trailer for a copyright movie is within this video so that alone gives me pause that the uploader truly understands copyright. On top of that there really is no indication, in this video, that the person is affiliated with The Exchange, a shopping website, and the logo at the of the video indicated a "Celebrity Spotlight" which could be a different entity. That along with the copyrighted material within the supposed CC video gives me pause. So I'm not going to keep the image right away either but allow for discussion. --Majora (talk) 21:37, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep
Yeah, if DVIDS says it's public domain I'd trust it. I also looked on the Exchange website and found a link to the YouTube channel, so it's legit: https://www.aafes.com/about-exchange/public-affairs/ Johndavies837 (talk) 01:30, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Seems like the Exchange is part of the w:Army and Air Force Exchange Service, part of the US Army though mostly self-funded. I see copyright notices on a couple of related sites, but nothing really approaching a copyright policy, so those may just be website boilerplate which wasn't really changed. I guess they really could be PD-USGov (though of course they would be using any movie clips under fair use themselves). Carl Lindberg (talk) 01:27, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: per discussion. --Indeedous (talk) 11:38, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
