No FoP for "graphic works" in India A1Cafel (talk) 07:22, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The poster was at the corner of a public street. If my reading of copyright for India is correct, then photographing this poster is allowed.50.207.57.170 15:43, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@50.207.57.170 and Jonathansammy: Per COM:FOP India, as one of the colonial countries of UK, Indian FOP rules are similar to UK. Posters and murals are categorized as "graphic works", and they are excluded in FOP exception. --A1Cafel (talk) 15:07, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
DearA1Cafel, According to UK law "Evidence of the intentions of the maker are relevant, and according to the House of Lords case of Hensher -v- Restawile [1976] AC 64, it is "relevant and important, although not a paramount or leading consideration" if the creator had the conscious purpose of creating a work of art." This poster is just an advertisement announcing a public meeting in the neighborhood which was going to be attended by local politicians. That being the case, is it considered a work of art? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 50.207.57.170 (talk) 15:53, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
{{GODL-India}} applies or not? --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 07:27, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: per nomination. The photo's on the poster might be copyrighted as well by the photographers. No proof this is work of the Indian government. --Elly (talk) 13:42, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
