File:David P. Bloom.jpg

[edit]

image taken from an ebay listing of copyright protected source material. not properly licensed ZimZalaBim (talk) 02:20, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Keep PD-US-1978-89, after 1989 you did not have to put the copyright notice on images anymore, and the Library of Congress has stated that the Associated Press never renewed any copyrights, the expense outweighed any benefit, since they created up to a thousand images each day. --RAN (talk) 05:52, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment The uncropped version has also been uploaded as File:David P. Bloom with caption.jpg. --Lord Belbury (talk) 09:39, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I see that the captioned version says 'USA TODAY', which suggests that they rather than AP may have been the originator of the photo. Accordingly, we can't really assume that anything AP did regarding copyright is relevant. And further to this, the image was originally uploaded under a Creative Commons license, which certainly wouldn't have been appropriate, since the uploader made no claim to own any rights to the photo. The file page now asserts that the image is public domain, claiming that it was published 'without a copyright notice'. I can't really see how that can be verified either.

AP is the source and USA Today is the recipient of the image. The text is standardized for all AP images that use their Laser Photo service starting circa 1980. Essentially a high resolution fax machine. You can verify with your eyes that there is no copyright notice. If you want to see what a valid copyright notice for a news service looks like see Category:Bain copyright notice. Out of 30,000 images, they put a copyright notice on about a dozen. AP never used copyright notices, you can look through the entire collection of them that we host. We host over 30,000 wire service images between AP and UP and UPI and Bain and others. Copies made public must contain a copyright symbol, not the copy that is placed in the newspaper. The copy in the newspaper is covered by the copyright notice on the masthead of that issue of the newspaper. Even a degenerate version of the copyright symbol leads to a loss of copyright.

 Comment This is mentioned here. Yann (talk) 10:58, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: {{PD-US-no notice}} seems to apply here. —howcheng {chat} 21:43, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
