Keep.

(1) This photo was taken from a public highway, of items placed next to the public highway for the purpose of public viewing and phogotraphs. The objects were part of a scarecrow festival, and were placed next to an exhibit as part of the show. All this is covered in the UK by Panoramafreiheit.

(2) The link given above is about US law only and the US does not have Panoramafreiheit. If you extend your US laws to all photographs uploaded from the UK, then you will have to delete all photographs taken from public highways, including all public monuments. You are not doing that, though, are you?

(3) As I understand it, toys count as utilitarian in the UK, since they fulfil a need for all children (and for plenty of adults, who may keep a favourite toy all their life). For example, toys are commonly used as a sleeping or calming aid for very young children.

(4) The stuffies (as I believe you call them in the US?) in the picture are almost certainly hand-made by the householders who created the scarecrows for the festival. Commercial toy manufacturers turn out thousands of identical toys, but this pair consists of two individual items. In my generation in the UK, girls were taught cookery and sewing at school, and the boys were taught woodwork and metalwork. I made loads of stuffed animals, as a kid. Thus, most women of my generation can easily make items like the ones in the picture, to our own designs or from patterns. 3D hand-made objects like that are not matters of commerical copyright in the UK, and, I repeat, the ones in the photo are covered by Panoramafreiheit.

Bad decision above. These clearly have a copyright as sculptures -- all created works have copyrights. They are not permanently displayed, so FoP doesn't apply. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 20:47, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
