Same reason as Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Cricket World Cup trophy.png; in violation of Commons:Derivative works.--Thugchildz 07:57, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep In Canada, where the photograph was taken, "it is not an infringement of copyright for any person to reproduce, in a painting, drawing, engraving, photograph or cinematographic work a sculpture or work of artistic craftsmanship or a cast or model of a sculpture or work of artistic craftsmanship, that is permanently situated in a public place or building". [1] The trophies are on permanent display in the Great Hall of the Hockey Hall of Fame, a public place. -Aude (talk | contribs) 14:07, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It is neither permanently situated there nor is the museum a public place.--Thugchildz 07:32, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The Copyright Act doesn't define "public place", but it's defined and interpreted elsewhere in Canadian law, such as "The law recognizes private businesses as public places if they are open to members of the public, even though only persons with an interest in the goods and services of that store actually enter." [2] Similar laws in other countries, such as New Zealand, expressly define public place to include "premises open to the public." [3] And the trophy is on permanent exhibit there. Anyway, to be very clear on this and stay away from grey areas, I am seeking permission to allow these photographs to remain here under GFDL or compatable licenses. They expressly permit photography at the HHOF [4], so I think it's very likely that they would give permission. -Aude (talk | contribs) 16:05, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They permit photography in a lot of places, doesn't mean that it takes the copyright off the copyrighted work that is there. And does it say anywhere that its on permanent exhibit there and that it doesn't have a copyright?--Thugchildz 04:48, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep merely some industrial product, nothing wrong with pictures (drinking vessel → industrial machine made utility article → not copyrighted) --LimoWreck 22:36, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If it was merely some industrial product than no one would be interest in it like this and it clearly isn't drinking vessel, from dictionary.com- drinking vessel noun a vessel intended for drinking and this clearly isn't intended for drinking and per Commons:Derivative works- Photographs of three-dimensional objects are always copyrighted. Even if the object itself is in the public domain. If you didn't take the photograph yourself, you need permission from the owner of the photographic copyright (unless of course the photograph itself is in the public domain). And the photograph can not be public domain because By taking a picture, you create a new, copyrighted work (i.e. the photograph). At the same time, the rights of the original still exists and don't go away. By publishing the picture, you do something only the original copyright holder is allowed to do. That's why you won't be able to use your own photography of a copyrighted work (except as fair use) unless the creator of the original gave you permission to do so. It must be deleted.--Thugchildz 02:56, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The NHL has replied back to me. They don't object to the images being used on Wikipedia, but they are unwilling to allow the images to be licensed as GFDL or similar license. I explained reasons behind why we use free licenses, and suggested reducing the size of the images to no avail. Since we can't use image that are "permission only" for Wikipedia, I would simply like the image deleted now. -Aude (talk | contribs) 16:27, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Can't we use this template : Template:Copyrighted free use provided that instead of free licence? Supertoff 15:02, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, at least for now. The trophy appears to be a permanent exhibit at the museum (it has its own permanent case) and falls within Canada's FOP provisions. It's not relevant whether the museum is willing to license the image or not as the FOP provisions mean it does not own any copyright in it. The image may not be free in the US, though, so may need to be deleted later if the WMF Board decides that all FOP images must comply with both local and US practice. --MichaelMaggs 15:25, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
