Files in Category:Liberty Statue (New York, New York hotel)

In most countries, all paintings, sculpture, architecture, text, and other creative works have copyrights which last for 70 years after the death of the creator. 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 freedom of panorama (FOP). Unfortunately there is no applicable FOP exception in the United States. This model of the Statue of Liberty was erected in 1997. It is, therefore, still under copyright and these images infringe on that copyright.

It's a replica of the en:Statue of Liberty (public domain). Not sure that adds new copyright. Multichill (talk) 15:19, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

•  Delete Yes, it's a replica, but nowhere near a faithful replica. Indeed, the US Copyright Office has issued two copyright registrations for the Las Vegas Lady Liberty Statue/Maquette (they cannot be directly linked - search for registrations VAu001149387 and VA0001882070). The United States Postal Service is currently being sued for copyright infringement for famously (and mistakenly) using this statue instead of the real Statue of Liberty on its Forever stamps. The complaint in that case details the original changes in this version related to the original, and they have the prima facie appearance of reasonably being original to PlasterTech/Davidson (i.e., sufficient to generate a new copyright). I believe COM:PRP requires deletion. Эlcobbola _talk 16:03, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
