These images have a Commons:URAA problem. In the US they are still copyrighted until end of 2034 (95 years after publication).

I do not understand how can works unprotected in Germany (country of their origin) be protected in the US under URAA? The German copyright law clearly sets protection as 70 years after the year of death of the author or the YEAR OF PUBLICATION if the author is unknown. As far as I can see authors of at least some stamps here are unknown. Before deleting en masse these stamps, the years of death of their authors should be checked. --Leonid Dzhepko (talk) 14:57, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The U.S. copyright problem talk is at Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:1934 stamps of Germany. The URAA is very weird. --Closeapple (talk) 01:12, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
