Example DM image including a collection of copyrighted portraits.
Could you elucidate please? As I read DM, it would be perfectly fine to have a collection of copyright images. There is no mention of stuff inbetween copyrightable elements. See example on the right from the DM policy itself. --Fæ (talk) 19:02, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
In that photo it is a general overview, which includes the copyrighted elements. Hence, it's DM. The "endless" image isn't a general overview, but is specifically focussed on copyrighted material. russavia (talk) 22:19, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
De minimis will not work here. Here the copyrighted material are consciously (not incidentally) included; and they play a significant/key role. The quality is also very detailed. (But if this is just a part of a shop interior; it wil be De minimis). Jee02:02, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree. This may be a liminal case, however the example on the right is a good illustration. The copyrighted artworks in the DM casebook are considered acceptable as they are a gallery collection (at 10 megapixels resolution) and the intent of the photograph is not to "faithfully reproduce" the artwork. Similarly with the randomly arranged pile of different types of chocolate bars (at 5 megapixels resolution), the intent is to represent a large pile of bars, not to reproduce the packaging or its designs. Indeed a high resolution photograph of a sweet shop may provide better images, yet there would be no discussion about whether it met DM or not, even if a deliberate crop might fail to meet DM. --Fæ (talk) 09:26, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep #1, per De minimis and Precautionary Principle. --Fæ (talk) 14:06, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
Delete the motif in the "endless" photo is a collection of copyrighted images together. They aren't de minimis in this case. russavia (talk) 18:51, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
