CHU announcements

[edit]

This is a derivative work and the original copyright belongs to CHU. The government of Canada does not allow commercial reusage of its works, which means this item is not free according to Commons' guidelines. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 01:10, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment perhaps these are too simple messages to reach the threshold of originality and could be tagged with Template:PD-ineligible. Teofilo (talk) 01:18, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt it. Sound recordings carry a low threshold in Canada/US, like simple pictures. The only way this could be below is if it played only simple notes, but it doesn't. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 01:53, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep If a photographer photographs a flower, the copyright belongs to the photographer and not to the flower nor to the gardener. If User:Xenon54 records with his radio receiver the sound of a machine-generated time signal, the copyright belongs to Xenon54 and not to the machine at CHU. There is no intellectual or creative work behind a time signal. Only an atomic clock, a beeper, and a voice synthesizer which reads the time. --Cqeme (talk) 10:00, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Are you really stating that a voice synthesizer cannot own a copyright? There is definitely creative work in it, and I would be very surprised to find that both a Canadian and an American court would agree with your claim. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 03:03, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I am talking about its output, which is in this case 00:00 am to 11:59 pm in consecutive order. --Cqeme (talk) 11:32, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: Magog is correct. The programmer owns the copyright to the voice synthesizer, so this is at best a non-free derivative work FASTILY (TALK) 20:49, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
