Files in Category:Cosplay of the Death Star

[edit]

Commons:Copyright rules by subject matter#Costumes and cosplay

"If the costume is purely utilitarian and has no distinct or original graphical features - for example, if it's the kind of clothing that an ordinary person might wear on the street or on the job - then it is permitted under #Clothing above."

Yeah.. that's not really the case here is it?

"In short, both costumes and masks are copyrightable. Additionally, posting pictures of costumes or masks that are themselves under copyright, or which depict characters that are under copyright could qualify as copyright infringement (subject to a fair use analysis)."

Well, that settles it.

 Keep on all. From the same section: "However, the community has not accepted this strict view". From the reference at the end of that line: "And there is no case law I'm aware of which would indicate that a photograph of a person wearing a costume (or mask even) in public would be deemed a derivative work -- in fact, as I've said, the case law on photographs strongly indicates otherwise." - AdamBMorgan (talk) 20:57, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
