"This work is in the public domain because it was published in the United States between 1978 and March 1, 1989 without a copyright notice, and its copyright was not subsequently registered with the U.S. Copyright Office within 5 years." Doubtful for an Associated Press photo. Cryptic-waveform (talk) 15:50, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
- 1. I couldn't find the picture on the AP Newsroom;
- 2. The original wirephoto doesn't seem to have a valid copyright notice;
- 3. A couple queries (1, 2, 3) on the Copyright Office's registry yields no results.
- I'm curious on what fuels your doubts? NAADAAN (talk) 16:59, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for providing details, especially a source that includes more details about the pictures. I must admit that I'm not an expert in copyright, I just find it strange that a 1984 image by a professional photographer would fall in the public domain. I'll let more experienced voice their opinion on the matter. Cryptic-waveform (talk) 21:38, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
