File:Joan McCracken in Good News trailer.jpg

[edit]

Copyvio. There was a copyright notice at 0:21 in the trailer (link at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtPPSV3o3Zg).  — Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:45, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep While it's true that there is a copyright notice at 0:21, it is a notice for the film, not the trailer, and it is identified clearly as such as a film copyright notice. The trailer itself was not copyrighted, so the "no notice" PD exception applies. If it doesn't, if we're applying the criteria so strictly that any kind of copyright notice takes it out of the public domain, than hundreds if not thousands of images are going to have to be deleted. I think it's fair to say that the vast majority of vintage film trailers show the title of the movie with the copyright notice for the movie underneath. I really "other stuff exists" is not a defense to anything, but in this case I think it illustrates that the trailer is in fact in the public domain.

  • The notice doesn't say "This applies only to the film" or "This does not apply to the trailer". It just says "Copyright MCMXLVII by xxx", which is all that was required by US copyright law at the time. The trailer was still copyrighted. — Crisco 1492 (talk)
I'm not sure I agree, but I am hampered by an absence of knowledge of copyright law! I'll look for a fair-use image. Thanks. Coretheapple (talk) 17:39, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Very. Thank you! Coretheapple (talk) 16:09, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: Notice is notice. It is not clear what the intentions of the studio were, but if they intended to have the trailer PD, the notice could have been removed. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 17:11, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
