[edit]

All of these death notes are copyrighted by author/agency who made them. One of them contains water mark for original creator. User claims Either public domain logo or script. But these have complex caligraphy and designs which puts them above the originality threshold

Hello @Quick-ease2020, the death notes has no originality at all. It is only text of names + some dates. There is no creative materials to be copyrrited. There is an entire category for death notes.
Instead, death notes provide a way to prove the imprtance of the person depnding on who issued the death note + it confirm the death date and the family relashionships, which are vey hard to prove in many cases.
The watermark is used to shows that this is not fake death note, it is only used in the online verion. It my be seems naive or outdated, but this is how thing work in Syria. Michel Bakni (talk) 10:46, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I guess it boils down to is whether there is copyright on such death notes. Here are my arguments of why I think they are:
1. Original writing:
The makers of this poster had to source the information about the deceased's family and relatives and published it in this note. Which might make their writing copyrighted. Thus you can't take a photo of it without permission.
2. Design :
All of these posters contain calligraphy of "إلى رحمة الله تعالى". Which is an artistic expression. They are also unique in their styling. Bolding of different words, Size of font, arrangement of names.
All of these could make it above the threshold of originality in terms of design.
I would love any input on these two points. I am not well versed in copyright law! Quick-ease2020 (talk) 14:42, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Could you please read the threshold of originality. It reads: "If a work contains a portion that is complex enough to receive copyright protection". The two arguments that you bring does not fit well here. Michel Bakni (talk) 06:54, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep seems like something of an edge case, but the writing style is not significantly creative and is not enough to go over ToO. As to the content of the writing, there are no protections for writing in Syria that are "News and other events that are characterized as mere press information." If these are mere death notices that qualifies and so the content is not copyrighted. Also falls under American ToO. PARAKANYAA (talk) 21:23, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep These don't appear to have any particular creativity, in fact, they appear standardized. The only calligraphy I see is at the top of the page and that appears identical on each of them, or maybe I'm missing something? If Syria has no protections for writing news and other events, these don't meet the necessary threshhold for creativity.Bastique ☎ appelez-moi! 02:36, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
