Files in Category:Vilniaus Sporto rūmai

[edit]

The building was completed in 1971 by Eduardas Chlomauskas (1927–2004), Henrikas Vytautas Karvelis (1933–2012), Zigmantas Liandzbergis (1929–1993), and Jonas Kriukelis (1927–1985). There is no freedom of panorama in Lithuania. The copyright term of the country is 70 years, and the image can be undeleted in 2083.

 Oppose One of the main principles of the civil law is that of non-retroactivity, and this means that the current copyright law in Lithuania cannot be applied retroactively to a building completed in 1971, unless it was still copyrighted at the time the current law was issued and the law extended the duration of its copyright. At the time of the building's completion, copyright in Lithuania was governed by the laws of the Soviet Union and those of the Lithuanian SSR. It is very possible that, even under those laws, this abandoned building, a symbol of the Russian occupation in Lithuania, is still copyrighted (which would be very sad), but you must prove this when you request the deletion of the photos, not just blindly apply the "There is no freedom of panorama in [enter a country name]" tag on hundreds of photos.
Again, the building may indeed still be under copyright, but until this is proven, my vote is "oppose". --Nenea hartia (talk) 10:00, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose There is no confirmation that the building is under copyright so that photographs of the Sports Palace cannot be published on Wikimedia. Terminator216 (talk) 21:21, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Delete Per COM:Soviet Union, "Works published in the former USSR should be in the public domain under the laws of the successor country of origin and the United States". Furthermore, "There was a discussion whether pre-1973 works from the Soviet Union are copyright-free... It was concluded that this theory is incorrect." Thus, one can conclude that current Lithuanian copyright laws do apply to these photos. —holly {chat} 21:43, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: per nomination, Lithuanian laws do apply as Holly has said. Undelete in 2083l. --Abzeronow (talk) 19:40, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
