Possibly Fake Indian Coinage after 1955
[edit]
I attempted to put this image up for {{Copyvio}} per Currency: India and Category:Banknotes of India. It reads:
Per The Indian Copyright Act, 1957 (Chapter V Section 25) banknotes and coins from India enter the public domain only after 60 years , i.e. after December, 31 1954, and are copyrighted and must be deleted using Template:{{Copyvio}}.
However Glatisant has made the claim that the coin is a forgery, so Currency: India doesn't apply and removed the {{Copyvio}} tag. However, even if this is true, which he has no evidence of, then {{PD-India}} would apply. It reads:
"Anonymous works" enter the public domain 60 years after the date on which it was first published, i.e. after December, 31 1954.
Therefor, even if it is a forgery this "Anonymous works" would sill be copyrighted as it was published in 1970. Eather is should be deleted as a {{Copyvio}} per Currency: India or a {{Copyvio}} per {{PD-India}}--ARTEST4ECHO talk 16:35, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
Comment If it is fake, the author couldn't claim a copyright. Regards, Yann (talk) 14:43, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
- Comment actually yes he can, but I don't think he would as it would get him into trouble.--ARTEST4ECHO talk 19:07, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
- DELETED
- You all know, that hosting copyright violations in Commons is prohibited, even if copyright holder cannot sue us, and this is a typical example. Both money and anonymous works are protected 60 years in India, so the photo is restored in 2031, when the copyright has expired. Taivo (talk) 18:04, 1 October 2015 (UTC)}}
Restored: If it is fake, no copyright; if it is real, then {{GODL-India}} applies. Yann (talk) 15:36, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
