No Freedom of panorama for 2D works in the UK. -mattbuck (Talk) 16:24, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is pre-WWII, so out of copyright. Andy Mabbett (talk) 19:20, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Copyright is 70 years after the death of the author. Not all images from the 1890s are out of copyright, so something from the 1930s is a stretch. -mattbuck (Talk) 20:02, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The author in this case is a commercial company, not an individual. Andy Mabbett (talk) 15:32, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: Both the wall and the Coke ad have copyrights -- this infringes both. .     Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 22:10, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Freedom of panorama in the UK does not extend to a mural or poster - even if they are permanently located in a public place. LGA talkedits 02:35, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Out of copyright, as explained above (the more modern coke ad referred to was cropped from the image). Andy Mabbett (talk) 14:37, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Does Template:PD-UK-unknown apply?--Canoe1967 (talk) 20:18, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No proof it is indeed out of copyright; copyright last for 70 years after the "death" of the creator. LGA talkedits 21:00, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I repeat again: corporate authorship. Andy Mabbett (talk) 22:57, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Corporate authorship does not apply in UK law, it would have been created by someone and ownership and copyright would last for 70 years after that persons death. LGA talkedits 01:05, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Under the w:Copyright Duration Directive, article 1.4, the definition of "anonymous" is different if the initial copyright holder is a legal person. Under UK law, the copyright to a work for hire belongs to the employer (a legal person), not to the employee. Any 70 years p.m.a. term is nevertheless based on the year of death of the employee. This is further complicated by article 10.1 of the directive which says that you should use the copyright term of an earlier UK copyright law instead of the EU directive if the earlier UK copyright law defines a longer term than the EU directive. No idea what term that earlier UK copyright law specifies. --Stefan4 (talk) 23:02, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete I have two problems with keeping this -- first, we are told above that this is pre-WWII, but no evidence is given. Since there is very little information about Orantips on the Web, I think we need more evidence of age if we are going to keep it on those grounds. Second, there is no evidence that anyone has actually done any inquiry to determine the author. "Unknown author" in the UK requires that someone has done reasonable inquiry, not simply that we don't know. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:24, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete No evidence that this is old enough. Unless published before 1926, it is {{Not-PD-US-URAA}} and thus unfree in USA. For the UK copyright status, pre-1943 might be enough, provided that the image indeed is anonymous, for which we don't have sufficient evidence. --Stefan4 (talk) 23:02, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
