I'm not so sure the Russian government would look fondly upon granting official copyright free status to the money of a breakaway republic. OTH, one could argue the breakaway republic never passed its own copyright law, and hence inherited that existing in Russia for the brief period it was quasi-sovereign. In which case this bill would qualify. -Nard the Bard 14:05, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
- There are several de facto states in the world which are not fully recognized by the international community. What does the law says about copyrights in these territories? How should we treat works from the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus or from Somaliland? This is weighty issue indeed.
- As for this specific image - I understand that this self declared republic doesn't exist anymore, hence the Russian law definitely applies. The uploader thought this image is a depiction of a banknote which, according to the RU law, is not copyrighted. However, this alleged banknote was not produced by the Russian government, so actually I'm not sure that no-copyright principle applies here. Drork (talk) 06:43, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
- It has no any exempt status, and therefore falls under copyright protection. Dr Bug (Vladimir V. Medeyko) 14:17, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
