Files in Category:Independence Monument (Phnom Penh)

[edit]

This monument was designed by Vann Molyvann, who died in 2017 according to enwiki. In most countries, all paintings, sculpture, architecture, text, and other creative works have copyrights which last for a certain period of time after the death of the creator (be it the last-surviving architect, engineer, designer, sculptor, engraver, or painter). An image of a work that is still under copyright is a derivative work, and infringes on the copyright so that we cannot usually keep the image on Commons. In some countries, there is a special exception to the copyright law which allows such images under certain circumstances. We call that exception Commons:Freedom of panorama (FoP). Sadly, Cambodia has no Commons-acceptable FoP. Images of this artwork will not be free until 50 years after Molyvann's death, or until Cambodia amends/reforms their copyright law to remove restrictions to "incidental inclusion only" and allow free pictorial reproductions and free, commercial distribution and publication of pictorial representations of their copyrighted architecture and sculptures without the need of authorizations of their creators and/or their heirs. There is also an old DR concerning this copyrighted monument.
