Files in Category:2004 Tsunami Memorial (Telwatta)

In most countries, all paintings, sculpture, architecture, text, and other creative works have copyrights which last for 70 years after the death of the creator. An image of a work that is still under copyright is a derivative work, and infringes on the copyright so that we cannot usually keep the image on Commons. In some countries, there is a special exception to the copyright law which allows such images under certain circumstances. We call that exception freedom of panorama (FOP). Unfortunately there is no applicable FOP exception in Sri Lanka.

Hello,
The point seems compelling.
If we don’t find any other solution, let it be. I would prefer however that we find copyright owners, and ask them if they would be kind enough to release the original work under appropriate compatible license.
I think that for a memorial like this one, chance are good that permission will be granted, as the goal of such a structure is not to generate revenue stream, and diffusion of photo of the monument in educative projects like Wikimedia ones is completely aligned with the aim of preserving memory.
Has anyone suggestion on how to handle this? Psychoslave (talk) 13:09, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Psychoslave you should ask the copyright holder (typically the sculptor / artist of the work) to grant permission or clearance to the publications of these images of their work under the free / commercial licensing here on Commons. COM:VRTS provides the information / instructions on how to do this. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 19:45, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
