[edit]

Copyvio: [1] from here: http://www.faperj.br/boletim_interna.phtml?obj_id=1694 FunkMonk (talk) 13:40, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If it is copyvio to draw something based on outlines of work found online than atleast one if not more of the featured artists (by their own admission) on Commons are also copyvio. I made that image myself in inkspace, I didnt just save the file with a filter. It is my own work. If I am in the wrong here I accept that, but I think that it is a double standard to feature artists that also use outlines as a base for their work. I didn't know that was a "no no"? I have never seen an Unaysaurus, after all! Cheers, Nesnad (talk) 13:59, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Those featured artists would be wrong too, unless the images they trace have free licenses too. Tracing is copyright violation. FunkMonk (talk) 14:53, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
For example, this user (link) has many award winning images on Commons. Are you going to delete that user's images because they were based on that technique? Don't just target the "easy targets" (such as unknown users such as myself) if you truly believe that. In any case, I don't believe "inspiration" is copyrightable. My image was made by my own hands, it is my work... no? Nesnad (talk) 16:18, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
PS. I see on your page you have provided some excellent images of dinosaurs. If you are up to making a Unasysaurus I recommend spending time drawing one of those instead of complaining about this or that. I'm sure the page would benefit from your excellent skills.

Well, could you link to some images that the user has made which are traced after copyrighted works? You should nominate those too I think. I'm not singling you or anyone out, I'm just categorising and looking for dinosaur images on Commons, and when I see some that appear to have wrong copyright info, I nominate them for deletion. Therefore, I haven't nominated images made through the same technique which do not feaure dinosaurs, simply because I'm not looking at them. And yeah might do Unaysaurus one of these days, FunkMonk (talk) 16:43, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep Very few of the recent dinosaur drawings here have been made from the original fossils. Most of them might be considered "derivative works" in a legal sense, and copyright infringements, most often on artwork that also would be a derivative... There is no real practical problem, but if the fundamentalists here want to delete this, most of the dinosaur illustrations will have to go. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 17:19, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The problem here isn't simly that it is based on something, that wouldn't be a problem, but that it is traced after something. FunkMonk (talk) 17:25, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. The direct tracing does mean that this is a copyright infringement. MichaelMaggs (talk) 18:27, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
