Thanks LGA. Note there is a comment by the original uploader on the discussion page in case you missed it. HelenOnline 11:05, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
NP; I did see it, I would not hold my breath as I don't think the City would give the consent that commons would need, but if they do then the un-cropped versions and the ones in the first batch should be restored. LGA talkedits 11:36, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The stadium was completed in 2009 by Gerkan, Marg and Partners. There is no freedom of panorama in South Africa, permission from the architectural firm is required.

  • Is there really no legal way to get around this limitation? For example, if the object takes no more than a certain percentage of the photo? How about the Greenpoint.jpg file? — Soul Train (talk) 12:16, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Soul Train If the copyrighted work is not prominent, it might then be allowed as de minimis – but only if you don’t refer to it and don’t use it as a reason for taking or publishing the photo. That probably doesn’t suit your purposes.
    This is a horrible legal situation, which is why (as noted at the linked FoP page) some people are trying to change the law. Brianjd (talk) 13:05, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
