Images of Oscar statuettes

[edit]

It is quite incredible that nobody proposed these images for deletion yet. Some people seem more interested in imaginary copyrights. But this thing was created 1929 by en:Cedric Gibbons. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts is of course copyright-savvy, and according to http://www.oscars.org/legal/regulations.html "the Academy has the sole and exclusive right to reproduce, manufacture, copy, sell, display images of and publish said statuette in any size or medium, whether in three or two dimensions."

 Delete, these images are clearly non-free in the United States. Good catch. J Milburn (talk) 17:35, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment Things are not as clear-cut. Some images should be retained:

COM:FOP#Germany does not apply, because these images were taken inside buildings; I do not know about Croatian FOP - please give a reference. Probably it does not matter if the trailer is in the public domain, the statuette in this frame would still be copyrighted. As for silhouettes without detail, compare with for example Commons:Deletion requests/File:Unaysaurus dinosaur-outline.svg. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 05:46, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding File:Dunaway Oscar & LJ.jpg (7th above), it is not clear to me how there is a copyright infringement in that case. The OTRS should cover it, it seems. What is clear to me, unfortunately, is that the user who has submitted this list for deletion appears to be on a personal campaign against images in which the person holding Dunaway's Oscar appears (see e g here under "Problems continue") or which that person has taken and/or submitted to Commons with that OTRS (see Category:Southerly Clubs Image Archives). Thus, it it looks to me like there is a personal agenda behind this deletion request, at least as pertains to the Dunaway Oscar image. SergeWoodzing (talk) 07:48, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The OTRS ticket did not come from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences; it is irrelevant. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 19:15, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted all, some images have been cropped to remove the copyrighted parts. Oscar statuettes are clearly copyrighted and not DM in any of the images. As outlined on Commons:Deletion requests/File:Unaysaurus dinosaur-outline.svg, outlines are also derivative works. German FOP does not apply and I don't think Croation FOP applies as this is nothing similar to streets, squares, parks. Should we get clarification that Croation FOP applies indoors, those can be undeleted. ChrisiPK (Talk|Contribs) 15:24, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
