File:Botswana, Gaborone 3 Dikgosi Monument.jpg

[edit]

See Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Three Dikgosi monument, Gaborone. As Botswanan copyright law does not grant Freedom of Panorama, this image under commercial Creative Commons licensing infringes the monument sculptor's copyright.

 Comment I just realized the Flickr import is under PD-mark. This makes it more infringing as any commercial exploitation is allowed by the Flickr photographer, without consideration of the underlying copyright of the sculpture. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 23:10, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Botswana, not Botswanan. Delete. Keep I am working on the enwiki article about this. I have an alternative though, pictures of the three men featured on the monument. 48JCL 21:08, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wait, hold on. Shouldn't there be an exception? The statue was posted on Botswana's official government facebook 3 years ago. 48JCL 23:12, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@48JCL there is no such exception in your country's copyright law that states it is not an infringement to the author's copyright (here, the author is the sculptor) the use/public display/communication to public of works of art and architecture that are permanently fixed in public places. An exception that does not restrict commercial uses of such images without needing licensing permission from the architects or sculptors of the said works in public places. If there had been such an exception, it would have been found anywhere within Sections 12 and 22. Here are three example countries with Commons-suitable FoP provisions: the United Kingdom (FoP is the Section 62 of their copyright law), Hungary (FoP is the Article 68(1) of their copyright law), and Pakistan (FoP is Section 57(r and s) of their copyright law).

Deleted: per nomination, infringes copyright of sculptor. --Abzeronow (talk) 21:05, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
