Discussion

[edit]

Bridges are copyrighted? I guess it makes sense, but still...a utilitarian bridge design? --NE2 (talk) 16:09, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • ** Each bridge has a listed architect. In Soviet/Russian construction practice, his functions are reduced to decorating the engineer's structure and integrating it into city environment, but as I understand COM:FOP it doesn't mean jack. As long as there is a listed architect, it's 70 years or deletion. It's not much better than a square slab attributed to Le Corbusier. NVO (talk) 20:14, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep It's right that there is no FOP in Russia, but this fact makes it not necessary to delete such images from Commons since they still may be used in all the countries where FOP is given. There should be a template that makes clear that it's not allowed to use an image in the Russian Wikipedia. --S[1] 16:35, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Eh... I think you've misunderstood COM:FOP rather gravely. Which country's freedom of panorama rules apply is determined by the country where the photograph is taken. It doesn't help that Germany permits the depiction of works placed in public places in Germany (which is all they have jurisdiction to exempt). —LX (talk, contribs) 16:52, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
What you said is not elaborated in COM:FOP at all, could you please name a source where it can be read? Thanks --S[1] 19:12, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think the reason it's not stated there is that it's rather self-evident that you don't apply freedom of panorama of a country other than the one where the work in question is located. If we were to apply the freedom of panorama rules of the country of publication rather than the country where the depicted work is located, we would have to delete all depictions of recent statues and other artworks in public places, even if located in countries that permit such depictions. This is because, according to your reasoning and because the Wikimedia servers are located in the US (see Commons:Licensing#Interaction of United States copyright law and foreign copyright law), we would have to apply the more restrictive American freedom of panorama rules. —LX (talk, contribs) 20:49, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No. There a "national treatment" rule in Berne Convention. Each country define copyrightability in its own law. Yu cannot determine existence of copyright in, say, USA by reference to law of, say, Russia. Lqp (talk) 14:46, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Again, a source or external link would be useful. --S[1] 00:38, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Berne Convention Article 5 Lqp (talk) 06:22, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the link. Well, for me this looks fairly contradictory to some rules on COM:FOP, but especially to what LX said, isn't it? --S[1] 19:30, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, there is nothing about that article which contradicts COM:FOP. If you create a sculpture and have it displayed in public in the US, it is protected by copyright in the US per US copyright law and in accordance with § 3. It is also protected abroad per §§ 1 and 2. If, instead, you create a sculpture and have it displayed in Germany, it is not protected by German copyright insofar as depictions are concerned and therefore, the work also falls outside the scope of overseas protection afforded by §§ 1 and 2. Thus, if you take a photograph of a sculpture in Germany, you may publish it in the US, but if you take a photograph of a sculpture in the US, you may not publish it in Germany. Again, if you are arguing that the opposite is the case, then we would have to delete all photographs of recent sculptures taken in Germany, Sweden, the UK and other countries with proper FOP provisions, since we are publishing those photographs in the US. —LX (talk, contribs) 19:56, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Question Could someone who speaks Russian please translate the relevant law (article 1276 of this page)? Using an automatic translation, I get the feeling that photos where the relevant piece of architecture is not the main subject are OK. If that is the case, some of these photos, which are views of cities rather than of a specific building or bridge, would be OK. Pruneautalk 17:17, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Text of article 1276 is hardly relevant - until the Supreme Court (or regional arbitrage courts at least) deem it necessary to formulate a court approach to the subject. The system is heavily dependent on court practice, without it any judgements are wishful thinking. And, unlike tax raids or divorce settlements, there are very few of droit d'autheur court cases, so it will take <many> years to formulate the legislation completely. So all that matters is COM:FOP. NVO (talk) 20:20, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    There is no case law in Russia. So no decisions of Supreme Court would be relevant to the case in question. Only Civil Code matters, judicial interpretation is not required for us to apply the law. --Grebenkov (talk) 09:03, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    See article 126 of Russian Coststitution. Supreme Court "executed a judjical supervision [over common jurisdiction courts] and makes clarification of judjical practices". Lqp (talk) 06:22, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    So what? Yes, the Supreme Court oversees the judicial practice to correct errors commonly made by lower courts, but there is still a law, which we must obey to the letter. Supreme court cannot abolish or amend it. If it is written in the law that something is prohibited, no common court in Russia can do anything except to enforce the law. --Grebenkov (talk) 10:04, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Well, if you are the one "to apply the law" then indeed you are free to redesign the legal framework of claim yourself Napoleon. The rest of us have to wait for VS summaries. NVO (talk) 19:48, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      You can apply the law, too! You don't have to be Napoleon for that. And you do it every day. When you buy a bus ticket — you apply the Civil code. When you cross the street on green — you apply the law. You can catch the thief who is stealing your wallet by his hand — and by that you also apply the law. We do not need the courts to just apply the law. The only function of courts in the legal system is to settle disputes, when one party disagrees with another and they can't settle their differences by themself, without judicial intervention. Supreme court summaries are just that - the summary of previous disputes. If there is no dispute, there is no summary. And that is the case here: the law clearly forbids commercial use of the images in question, thus they do not belong on Commons, and we don't have to take the matters to the court to settle that. --Grebenkov (talk) 18:38, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • The translation of article 1276 of Civil Code of Russian Federation is as follows:

Reproduction or broadcasting of photographiс, architectural work or the work of visual arts, that reside in place, which is open for visitation, is allowed without consent of author or other copyright holder and without any royalties, with the exception of cases when the depiction of work is the main purpose of such reproduction or broadcasting or when such depiction is used commercially.
Допускается без согласия автора или иного правообладателя и без выплаты вознаграждения воспроизведение, сообщение в эфир или по кабелю фотографического произведения, произведения архитектуры или произведения изобразительного искусства, которые постоянно находятся в месте, открытом для свободного посещения, за исключением случаев, когда изображение произведения таким способом является основным объектом этого воспроизведения, сообщения в эфир или по кабелю либо когда изображение произведения используется в коммерческих целях.

  • s/when such depiction is used commercially/when depiction of work is used commercially/. There is no word "such" in the original. So, meaning of article changes substantionally Lqp (talk) 06:22, 19 July 2008 (UTC).[reply]
IMO (and I am a lawyer, though I specialize in Criminal law), it seems that some of the photographs in question can be kept if they are placed under licenses that disallow commercial use. Some others, that evidently have a single purpose - to depict a copyrighted work - should be deleted. Images which purpose is uncertain should be discussed on individual basis. --Grebenkov (talk) 09:03, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you vey much, Grebenkov, for the translation. My main query was to understand whether it was disallowed to publish images which are both used commercially and focused on the copyrighted building, or images which are either used commercially and focused on the building (COM:FOP was unclear, but I'll clarify it there too). Since it is the latter, all these images should be deleted, unfortunately - with the possible exceptions listed by NVO above. Commons does not accept non-commercial licenses: we only accept truly free images, and that means that commercial reproduction must be allowed. Some Wikipedias would accept these images, though, since there guidelines are not as strict. Pruneautalk 09:30, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In that case, I think the deletion is unavoidable. Dura lex, sed lex. --Grebenkov (talk) 10:46, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • There is much better, easier and quicker way: shutdown WikiCommons, format all their hard drives and destroy all their servers hardware. I really dunno what to say about this shit.... D.wine (talk) 17:05, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Because some of these images can be published under non-commercial licenses (and thus can be used in local Wikipedia space with appropriate tagging, if local policy allow such usage) and some of them can even be free (if the building is too old or in some other cases), I believe that the best solution to date is to move all these photos to Russian Wikipedia and to discuss them on individual basis there. We hope to do that ASAP, and I ask Commons admins not to delete the photos until we do that. (At least, let us know when the decision will be made and give us some time to copy the photos.) Thank you. Ilya Voyager (talk) 09:06, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    We also should note that even if original work (building) is copyrighted, the fact that derivateive work is published under free license is important. In this case we only need to wait 70 years from the architect's death and the photos become 100% free. So we have to save all such photos in some (maybe, non-public) place in full resolution and with all meta-data. Ilya Voyager (talk) 09:17, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree with Ilya Voyager. We should save this images (in some non-public place) with full metadata before that moment when they will be available for publication. Dinamik (talk) 16:54, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep images of that objects, that had been built before 1917. As I know, license {{PD-RusEmpire}} is still active. Dinamik (talk) 16:54, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep I think that the majority of photos listed here do not violate the law.--Avala (talk) 21:34, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep. Espessially photos of building which built until 1917 (aka PD:RusEmpire). Other images don't violate Russian Law too. I propose to delete only images uploaded by NVO by his/her request. --Pauk (talk) 08:41, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete NVO is right, and all this isn't news at all, it's just that the Commons community has preferred until now to close their eyes with respect to these countries where such images may be used only for non-commercial purposes. (And mind you, that's not just Russia. It's the whole Commonwealth of Independent States, plus the three Baltic states, plus Romania, plus possible still others we haven't looked at yet.) It's also not just buildings, it also applies to sculptures. Moving to ru-WP and using the images there under a "fair-use"-like Exemption Doctrine Policy might be possible. The buildings also can be moved to en-WP, where they are fine under 17 USC 120(a). For an old discussion about this, see Commons:Village pump/Archive/2007Apr#Commons:Freedom of panorama. Lupo 21:04, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Oh right, I forgot.
    • pre-1917:  Keep I don't know if doing so is 100% correct, but consensus seems to be to keep those buildings where {{PD-RusEmpire}} might be applicable.
    • junior architects:  Delete We can't just arbitrarily declare some of the co-authors not to be eligible as copyright owners. In the absence of any evidence, we need to count them as full co-authors.
    • bridges:  Delete NVO wrote: "his functions are reduced to decorating the engineer's structure and integrating it into city environment, but as I understand COM:FOP it doesn't mean jack". I agree. And it's nothing unusual. The engineers are responsible for the statics of the structure, the architect for the design.
    • restorations that go beyond the original:  Delete. The new design elements certainly would be eligible for copyright. Go by the copyright of these new elements.
    • modern reconstructions: no, consider them replicas, themselves ineligible for copyright. If the original would have been out of copyright, keep them, else delete. (I.e., go by the copyright of the original.)
    • Le Corbusier retracting his name: {{subst:vk}}. I don't know if that is absolutely correct, but it seems to me that if the architect retracts his name, that means the building is not his work and is not a reproduction of his plans. I see no mention for Le Corbusier having retracted his name in either Tsentrosoyuz building nor in ru:Центросоюз. What's the source for this claim? But anyway:  Delete The executing Russian architect, Nikolai Kolli, died 1966.[4]

  •  Delete the sculptures,  Keep the buildings and change policy to require only that an image be free under US law. We've already done this for the PD-Art images and if anything it makes more sense to do it here. No Russian will get into trouble for uploading images of buildings to the Commons since their law allows non-commercial use. The images are completely free under US law. If this proposal fails then transwiki the buildings to English Wikipedia. Haukurth (talk) 13:45, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Wouldn't the uploaders need to license the images under a non-commercial license? That isn't allowed here. As to not getting in trouble, please see Commons talk:Freedom of panorama#Russia: FOP legal practice developing... Lupo 08:35, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't see why they can't release their own photograph under any license, as long as attention is paid to the fact that there are underlying usage restrictions in Russia because of the subject depicted. Anyone in the US could use the free license. As for the Coca Cola case that clearly has to do with commercial exploitation. It also has to do with a sculpture - which I would want to delete anyway because of lack of freedom under US law. Haukurth (talk) 09:15, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Where was the picture taken from (in what country), I think Russian territory unless the US owns the road too? ;-) --Tony Wills (talk) 22:24, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kept all. We don't have consensus here, so defaulting to keep. If individual images need to be renominated, so be it. There's not enough exposure here in this old archive. —Anonymous DissidentTalk 07:44, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kept. —Anonymous DissidentTalk 09:55, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
