Please review Commons:Project scope/Precautionary principle.
An image is not public domain or free if it is published somewhere. Copyright belongs to the author/holder of copyrights, the image enters the public domain if it is the authors wish to release his rights. Commons only accepts images that everyone can use for every purpose including commercial use with the authors written permission. See Commons:Project scope#Must be freely licensed or public domain. --Martin H. (talk) 18:09, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
- And according to "after the death of the author": Copyright lasts 70 years post mortem autoris. --Martin H. (talk) 18:10, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
you've deleted a free image twice.... the image is from a video declaration which was freely distributed in guatemala after the death of the author!!! the sole purpose of the auther making the video was for the purpose of free distribution..... your claim that the video is copyrigthable material is unreasonable.....

- Johannes, your argumentation with a CNN website is wrong. Commons is free for every purpose.
- The Media can use the image under fair use claims or under claims - it is their valid interest to report this
- The owner of the video can distribute the video to the media if he like
- Private website can use the image or video too, they use it in an noncommercial context
- Commons can NOT use the image, because it is not free for EVERY commercial use.
- Every commercial use includes redistribution/selling, books/newspaper/magazines, marketing, posters, t-shirts and selling them. Even some of this use is not imaginable: It must be allowed, thats the scope of Commons. --Martin H. (talk) 18:24, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
Martin H.,
you're wrong.....the image is for EVERY commercial use.... its been used in guatemala for the purposes you describe:
simple example of small posters in protests...

- Johannes, you are still wrong. Been used by others is not an argument. Did you read Commons:Project scope/Precautionary principle? It describes exactly the mistake you make here: The file is obviously common property. It can be found all over the internet and nobody has complained. Without a written permission from the author - in case the camera is operated by the depicted person his hires - nothing is free enough here. --Martin H. (talk) 02:04, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
