Blatant copyvio. Original of the image can be found here; if you work up two pages to here, you'll see the text "Carlo Allegri. September 6, 2008 - 2008 Toronto International Film Festival The Secret Life of Bees Portrait, Sutton Place Hotel, Toronto, ON, Canada". A search on the photographer's name turns up this page which says "Repped by Getty Images". Tabercil (talk) 00:51, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

flickrreview failed so there is no indication of whether this is a copyvio. we now have Image:Tim Kring.jpg so we don't need to keep this image (a liability) around any longer Mangostar (talk) 00:03, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete (as uploader, does that make it speediable?), this and a few other images were mistakenly uploaded from a gallery of mixed free and non-free images by taken by a Flickr user. I was under the impression that the non-free ones had all been deleted already. Will have to check later to see if any of the others are still lying around. GeeJo (t)(c) • 12:12, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment This deletion requests is absurdal. Do You want delete photos of all interiors in Poland. Why do You choose this one? - because it is FP candidate? This photo was made in Church of St. Francis in Kraków and doing photos in that place is allowed. Please remove delete template from my photo, and close this discuss. --Lestat (talk) 09:26, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What I want is that people document their picture with the proper license. If this artwork is old enough to apply for {{PD-old-70}}, please add {{PD-old-70}} on its page. I want to delete all interiors in Poland who show copyrighted artwork. When you know when the original author died, write it down on the image page. When you know when the artwork was created, add it in the "date" entry. Misunderstandings like this one do not happen when the picture is documented.

Drawing contains a signature in lower left hand corner, so it cannot be an anonymous work. Futhermore there is no evidence this was produced prior to 1938. -Nard the Bard 03:47, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment If it's "Nazi war propaganda." (as the description says) maybe the uploaddate is "09/03/08", but it's not really interesting when the picture got uploaded. It has to be published before 1945. Moreover I don't think that the source really is "Own work by uploader" --D-Kuru (talk) 18:05, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Unclear if it an original work from 2008 by the uploader in 1930s Nazi style (if so, info needs to be clarified-- and what would its purpose in Commons scope be?) or a work from the Nazi government era (in which case it needs source and reason for copyright status and a change of license info). Unless these issues are resolved,  Delete -- Infrogmation (talk) 18:25, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

3. Post a DR on all pictures depicting an object that have a design.

Non-free in source country. Westminister claims copyright on this design [3] ViperSnake151 (talk) 18:50, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Surely this design is not eligible for copyright, as per the info at Commons:Copyright#Simple_design?
Yes this design seems really straightforward. I wonder why the Westminster Council’s Director of Transportation bothers to insist on such a claim. Compare with a Paris street sign : Image:Street sign avenue de Tourville Paris.jpg ! ! Teofilo (talk) 19:24, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, the original author of this image should also be notified on en.wikipedia. Mike Peel (talk) 19:03, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've done a little more digging into this. As it's a government work, crown protection would apply rather than standard copyright. It was created in 1967, which means that if it is under copyright then that ends in 2017 (a 50 year term). I think (but am not sure) that freedom of panorama applies to crown copyright protection, in which case we're fine. It seems that UK copyright doesn't have an exception for simple designs; see User:Lupo/Simple Photographs. I have emailed Mr. Low of Westminster Council, whose email address is in the linked-to press release, to ask him whether freedom of panorama does apply here. I will post any reply I get here.

Derivative work of fashion design Teofilo (talk) 20:40, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain this comment. What is the problem of taking a photo of the front window of a fashion store, in contrast to taking a photo of the front window of a toy store?--Imrich (talk) 06:01, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I am not sure if photographiing a toystore window enabling to see details of potentially copyrighted toys is OK. As far as you did not design the clothes yourself I don't see how you can claim copyright ownership on this photo. Teofilo (talk) 09:09, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Please forgive me, but this is total nonsense. What is the difference between taking a photo of a window store with these garmets in the window, and taking a photo on Avenue des Champs-Élysées and taking a photo of a lady walking down the street dressed in this white dress? Or taking a photo of anyone dressed in any clothing whos' designer is recognizable? Next thing you will delete the whole LEGO category...

logo of nbc is visable. maybe not allowed. D-Kuru (talk) 15:20, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

NBC doesn't own the photo though. It's originally from the US Navy. I'm not an expert on the rules here, but I've never heard of news file photos not being allowed either.Worldruler20 (talk) 01:36, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The logo of the nbc normally appears in the regularly TV-news show (The is 5:03 written obove the logo which is - -I think - the time). The logo of nbc appears, because it's a screenhot of the nbc news (or whatever). I think the logo is copyrighted and therefore should be removed.

If the nbc didn't change the image it should still be PD (even it's a scrennshot), because it's a picture by the US Navy. Maybe it's enough to remove the nbc log.
--D-Kuru (talk) 14:34, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Isn't it the case that because it is a screenshot, NBC have the rights because they decided how to frame the picture on camera etc etc etc. -- Deadstar (msg) 15:24, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Does someone have a link to the policy saying no logos are allowed? I can't find it. Anyway, I don't think the logo makes it NBC property. The US Navy is the original owner of the photo which makes it public domain, and NBC is probably using it for free because it is in the public domain.Worldruler20 (talk) 11:55, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe {{Logo}} will help you.
I'm not sure, but I wouldsay that even it's a photo by the US Navy it could be copyrighted. As Deadstar wrote: "NBC have the rights because they decided how to frame the picture on camera etc etc etc". Moreover the Navy licenced the image with PD and (if I'm right) I could add "Photo taken by D-Kuru" and licence it under CC-BY-NC-ND.
However, we could try to find the 'original' one on an US(military)webside. I think that would be the better solution instead of cropting the file or revoving the nbc logo. Yesterday I had a look at some US military pages, but I didn't find anything. Maybe someone else will find something.

In the USA a work enters Public Domain if it was painted before 1923. This shop is from 1921, so the character could have been painted before 1923, but you seldom see "since 2006" signs in 2008.

Three problems: 1) source website does not own this image. The permissions email says they have an archive of 20,000 images, which is not the same as owning this. 2) Permissions email grants permission only to "use" the image, and does not mention a license. 3) This image is hotlinked from [4] thus we are providing non-free content to a third party.

No FOP in Bulgaria. -Nard the Bard 22:25, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

the city changed its name into Botevgrad in 1934. The statue could have been erected at about the same time. Teofilo (talk) 10:52, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hello, Nard! The only information I could ever find about this monument is that it was erected on 2 June 1939 and it was sponsored by a Czech called Karl Papousek who lived in Bulgaria. I have searched for the sculptor's name but have not discovered it so far.
    I am interested whether you have a particular reason for this DR - complaint by a copyright holder or anyone whose rights have been violated? I'm eager to understand if this was the case, as this would become the first TTBOMK case concerning practical enforcement of FOP in Bulgaria. Not being a lawyer, I am not able to competently take a side in this IPR case, and I would prefer to leave this job to the professionals. Yet I'd gladly delete the image by myself if it really threatens someone's rights.
    Ever since BG WP took the uneasy decision to abandon fair use and stick to WMF Resolution, I have deleted more images than ever - either fairuse, or implausibly "free" or even obviously free but lacking all data necessary to formally prove what's evident by commonsense. Thus, I have transferred to Commons only those images which fully comply with all written and tacit requirements (free license, source, author, original upload log, exif data, copyvio-clean history of uploads of the particular user, etc.) and this does include many images that might be considered FOP. I myself often make pictures of monuments and buildings and upload them here, conscious of this so-called "freedom of panorama". Yet, I am open to reconsider my neglectful view of BG-FOP any time it has raised a real issue. Regards, Spiritia 09:17, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Hello to you Spiritia. There is no particular reason I nominated this file for deletion. I didn't realize your wiki had made the painful transition to no fair use and I can see how sensitive you are about your remaining "free" images. Given the obvious age of this monument and it having been dedicated to the people of Bulgaria, I withdraw this request. -Nard the Bard 13:20, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted per Nard the Bard and Teofilo, i.e. there is no freedom of panorama in Bulgaria and it is unlikely that {{PD-old}} applies if the memorial was erected in 1939. --AFBorchert (talk) 21:09, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the stamps on this image are not PD, not being more than 70 years old as required for stamps of Argentina, per the stamp PD templates on Commons:Stamps/Public domain templates. Ww2censor (talk) 02:35, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Vorschlag: Ein anderes Foto mit Marken eines anderen Sammelgebietes wäre für diesen Zweck hier ebenfalls denkbar... Ich finde die Abbildung sowieso nicht sehr glücklich gewählt, weil im abgebildeten Einsteckalbum die Marken ja garnicht "eingesteckt" sind, also hinter den Folienstreifen stecken, sondern nur aufgelegt worden zu sein scheinen, wahrscheinlich, um sie besser zur Geltung kommen zu lassen. Aber gerade dies ist hier ja nicht Sinn der Sache: Es sollen dem interessierten Leser ja keine perfekt abgebildeten Argentinien-Marken geboten, sondern ganz allgemein gezeigt werden, wie Briefmarken in einem Album stecken.

  • I would say this is a case similar to, say, a photo of a Christmas tree, which is generally agreed to be the copyright of the photographer, even though the designs of individual ornaments may be copyrighted by someone else, and if one were to focus in on a particular ornament, that photograph would be a derivative of the ornament's artwork. Yes, it's not a nice algorithmic decision process (what about a photo of two ornaments? what about a group of 20?), but I think this image is clearly about the aggregate of physical stamps, rather than simply being a copy of individual stamp designs. (There is a page that discusses aggregation, and how a PD image could be become not-PD by cropping to a small piece, don't remember where it is.) So this image should be fine to keep.

This is a derivative work of the original Jesusland map (see en:Image:New map WEB.jpg), and so is subject to copyright restrictions by the original creator. —Bkell (talk) 20:59, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • The most maps of Earth are drawn and painted before Wikipedia and Wikicommons were born. The many-many maps on Commons are redrawing of pre-existing maps. Alex Spade 16:48, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep, the idea of a map with "blue states" transfered to Canada is ineligible for copyright protection. Kjetil r 00:57, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Why is that? If so, then we should replace this with the original image (en:Image:New map WEB.jpg). —Bkell (talk) 02:25, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    May be. But this image is more accurate. It's in PNG, not JPEG, there are borders on them. Alex Spade 16:48, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Perhaps I should elaborate more. It seems to me that there are three general possibilities here:
    1. Neither the original map (en:Image:New map WEB.jpg) nor the redrawn map (Image:Jesusland.png) enjoys copyright protection.
    2. The original map enjoys copyright protection, but the redrawn map is free from copyright restrictions.
    3. Both the original and the redrawn map are subject to copyright restrictions.
    The second possibility is easiest to dispose with: The redrawn map is very obviously a derivative work of the original, so if the original is under any kind of copyright protection, this protection applies to the redrawn map as well. Thus, there is no reason to have this redrawn map; it can be no freer than the original.
    So the question comes down to whether the original map is eligible for copyright protection. I believe it is, as a form of an editorial cartoon. While Kjetil r is correct that ideas cannot be copyrighted, the expression of an idea can be. Open any newspaper to the editorial section, and you will find cartoons expressing political or social ideas in a creative (and often humorous) manner. This is exactly what this map is doing. I don't believe there is any dispute that editorial cartoons are copyrighted; why is this image any different? It is a novel and creative expression of frustration with the outcome of the 2004 U.S. presidential election.
    So it is apparent that the second possibility above cannot hold; either the first or the third must be the case. I think it is clear that the original map enjoys copyright protection as a creative work, so this redrawn version is bound by the same restrictions. —Bkell (talk) 02:58, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • I think the original may have problems passing the threshold of originality. // Liftarn

The easiest would probably be to ask Jeff Minter, I don't think he'll have a problem with it. // Liftarn

  • weak delete because the colors and text are very similar. If it was a map which marked the provinces and states in a different color scheme I think this would be ok as it would be factual information. But here, elements of the design have been copied, not just the facts of which state is which. --Astrokey44 13:55, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strongly keep This is not der.works. This map consist of North America Map (there many free of them), five words (words are uncopyrighted), and some color scheme for coloring. It's consist of trivial facts: this state is painted by red color, that province - by green color and etc. There are many another fictional maps of Earth (not Middle Earth, Tatooine and etc.) see Category:Maps of alternate histories. The color scheme for coloring of Earth map is trivial, so it's uncopyrighted. Statement "State A (country, region, town, city and etc.) is a part of the union Super WWW" is fact, facts are uncopyrighted. In other case, the many-many maps from Commons are der.works. Alex Spade 16:29, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • So again, if what you are saying is true, then the original image is uncopyrightable, and it is the original that should be here on Commons, not this redrawn version. —Bkell (talk) 17:32, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • You can see my answer above, after your second thesis. But in additional to my previous answer - we don't know, is the contour map of original image copyrighted? For new image, all there components are free (free contour map + trivial words + trivial color scheme), for original image the freedom of contour map is unknown. Alex Spade 18:03, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • Well, some users here (most notably User:Rtc) would claim that the original is ineligible for copyright. Personally, I do not think I agree, but I consider Image:Jesusland.png to be sufficiently original so that it is not a derivative work. Kjetil r 19:26, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Keep, though I created Image:Jesusland map.png, so feel free to discount me as having some kind of conflict of interest. On the plus side, however, the version I created at least uses red and blue ;o) — OwenBlacker 09:01, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Banksy graffiti

[edit]

The UK does not have freedom of panorama for 2D works, so all public art (eg graffiti) in the UK is a copyvio. See Category:Banksy. -mattbuck (Talk) 21:24, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment Images taken in different countries in different circumstances; I suggest considering at least some seperately. -- Infrogmation (talk) 21:51, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Some of them are not copyrightable, i think, e.g. Image:What are you looking at.jpg. --Martin H. (talk) 23:04, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep for this listing. Looking at the group I see images that may be problems (perhaps the majority on the list), but I also see the simple text message Martin H mentions above, and a photograph of half a city block with a bit of graffiti art just visible as a small detail. Since I do not advocate throwing out useful images without copyright problems just because they were in the same category as a problem image, I urge closing this listing as a keep. I suggest individual images (or more carefully considered subsets of images) listed here may be relisted seperately. -- Infrogmation (talk) 23:46, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • There's no reason we can't go through selectively and delete those which are in violation. DRs don't have to end as keep all or delete all. I've withdrawn the ones which probably pass de minimis - others are more marginal or clearly not de minimis. -mattbuck (Talk) 00:22, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep - "Banksy has a casual attitude to copyright"[5] // Liftarn (talk)

 Keep Current policy is that illegal graffiti is allowed here: see COM:CB#Graffiti. The policy may bear discussion, but unless and until the policy is changed these images should stay. In fact, COM:CB#Graffiti is I think a reasonable interpretation of the way in which the UK courts would handle this (Banksy is British and most of his works are in the UK). --MichaelMaggs (talk) 21:00, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep No graffiti artist will ever complain if we preserve his art. Sadly this is no valid argument. Should anyone feel compelled to delete any of the pictures please move it to de.wikikpedia, for these people are allowed to host that kind of pictures.--tox (talk) 09:58, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No FOP in Belgium. -Nard the Bard 22:30, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ehm.. Please explain. The Berlaymont Building is not a sculpture. Are you saying that all images of buildings in Belgium should be deleted? - Ssolbergj (talk) 01:44, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Unless otherwise specifically noted in a copyright law a building is treated as if it was a "work of creatively" and enjoys the same copyright protection that a sculpture does. See COM:FOP#Belgium for more details. J.smith (talk) 01:50, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've never seen any notice about Berlaymont being a "modern piece of art", and I would certainly not call it that. - Ssolbergj (talk) 01:59, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The test is not "is this art?" - the test is "did this take creativity?". --J.smith (talk) 04:36, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Excuse me, but are you saying that Commons can't have images of conventional, Belgian office buildings (which is the case in this photo)? Can we clarify that before this debate is concluded? I would say that all architecture requires creativity. A sculpture can easily be differentiated from a building, but the notion that this building is more art-like than other buildings (or required more "creativity" when it was drawn) is completely unfounded. - Ssolbergj (talk) 17:12, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
COM:FOP says "modern pieces of art cannot be the central motive of a commercially available photograph". To delete this image based on that sentence would require a far-fetched interpretation IMO. - Ssolbergj (talk) 17:19, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ditto. Every building requires creativity in that sense. It is meant as more unusual things like the Atomium where is is radically differing from architectural norms. The only thing interesting about the appearance of the Berlaymont is that it is curvy. If the Berlaymont is included in a very broad definition, then so is every building in Belgium and hence we clear off a large chunk of the commons because the law is misunderstood.- J.Logan(t): 17:23, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm tempted towards delete on this - yes, the law is stupid, but if Austin Powers taught us nothing else, it's that Belgians are evil, and so their copyright laws would follow this. -mattbuck (Talk) 03:06, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Question: What about Commons:Freedom of Panorama#Architecture vs sculptures? It says: This, however, looks differently in Belgium. The law there allows to take freely pictures of buildings, but requires to get permission for publication of the photographs with sculptures that are the central motives of pictures. Should this mean: non "artistical" Buildings or buildings in general? The section Commons:Freedom of Panorama#Belgium is of course very strict. --Martin H. (talk) 13:07, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. If anyone thinks that Commons:Freedom of Panorama#Belgium is wrong, please provide details, with legal references. MichaelMaggs (talk) 08:03, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
