The image presents an item from Eton College Library, which retains copyright of any images of its holdings. Eton did not find a record for any permission requests to reproduce this image online, and therefore it should be taken down the website. 82.113.237.68 13:32, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Copyfraud? Simple photograph of a more than 200 years old book. --Achim55 (talk) 16:41, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: per Achim55. If the original is out of copyright, institution holding a copy lacks authority to recopyright. --Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 16:32, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]


The photograph was taken by me at Eton -- I was in the library with camera and tripod. Under UK law the person making images holds the copyright to same. As noted above, the work is out of copyright. The person who states that "Eton college could not find any permission requests" is hardly our problem here, and the statement that Eton "retains copyright of any images of its holdings" is a nonsence. One of these kind of 'laws' made up by a certain type of person IP address: 82.113.237.68, has not joined the wiki club but they are sitting in Eton. For some reason, legal expertise is claimed, I guess it comes from watchining too much Rumpole. Frankly I am not vested in whether is stays or goes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zippymarmalade (talk • contribs) 13:29, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
