Changed speedy in DR it was nominated as copyright violation with the following reason:While the photograph taken by the user would be free, the work they are picturing: a living person off a television screen, appears to be copyrighted and assuredly under copyright (2009); this is a 2D recreation of a copyrighted work and thus cannot be used on commons and would likely not be usable on en.wiki or others.

Keep - This is not a scene or a "take" of an ongoing creative project. This is a candid shot of the director himself, seen through an on-set production monitor, in between takes. It was taken at the director (Brad Mays') request, for use on Facebook and other online interests. Evalpor (talk) 23:41, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Interesting case. If the production monitor camera were a fixed camera, on a wall mount or bracket, then there is no copyvio because it is well established that fixed cameras do not yield copyrightable works. If, on the other hand, the camera had an operator, then he/she or his/her employer would own the copyright in the work and it's a copyvio.      Jim . . . .
