Comment Thanks, Vini175! Did you read my mind? ^^ I had thought of proposing this photo for FP, but decided against it because I wasn't sure it would pass (I thought too many people would not like the depth of field). Happy editing, Arria Belli | parlami 21:02, 8 January 2008 (UTC)- InfoI'm sorry because this is such a nice picture, but I have to delete it as it's a criminal offence under s18(1) of the Forgery and Counterfeiting Act 1981 "to reproduce on any substance whatsoever, and whether or not on the correct scale, any British currency note or any part of a British currency note." --MichaelMaggs 21:06, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- Comment Ahhh, I didn't know! I will write to the Flickr uploader, then. Do you have any links I can use to send to him? Arria Belli | parlami 21:08, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

- The Flickr user has since been notified of the criminal offence. Arria Belli | parlami 21:18, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- I didn't know all! But the image is good. Vini175 22:25, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- InfoHang on. Why are you quoting a UK law, when the Wikimedia Foundation operates under the laws of Florida? The only people who could be affected by the 1981 act are uploaders located in the UK, but even so it is arguable whether or not reproducing images in light on a screen is a "substance" within the meaning of the Act anyway, as that implies a tangible form. -- Arwel 22:58, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- Interesting point. "Choose your weapon?" -- carol 12:48, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- It was also a copyright infringement. --MichaelMaggs 23:03, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

- Comment I had uploaded two Flickr images of British banknotes. Since I notified both Flickr users of the criminal offence I think one of them has deleted their £ image from their photostream (I cannot see my comment anymore in my comment log, so I assume that's what happened).
