  • Pictogram voting question.svg Question: Do you suspect it is copyrighed?
    If this photo is original work of uploader - just change {{PD-art}} to {{PD-old}}. If you suspect copyright violation - tell why, I do not see any printing artefacts. Julo 14:01, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
I consider this a copyright violation because it comes from artclassic.edu.ru, according to the description page. There is nothing that indicates that this is the uploader's work. --Kjetil_r 14:04, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Symbol keep vote.svg Keep Did you not see the description that it is a really old cathedral in Kiev ? It is an art class trip to a cathedral in Russia. It is properly linked to two active Categories.

Yes, I know that it is a 11th century cathedral. But how do you know that it is the uploader's own work? The discription does not say so, the contrary is actually claimed when the PD-art tag is used. --Kjetil_r 15:09, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Photo of modern painting. I think Commons:OTRS permission is necessary. EugeneZelenko 15:42, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment The image's description indicates that these are copies of works by Cézanne. If they are faithful reproductions and the original Cézanne works are PD, then these might just be PD as well. I'm not familiar enough with Cézanne's own work to say how close they are to the original, nor am I familiar with the provisions in French law around faithful reproductions, but this deletion request should probably receive attention from relative experts in both those areas. Werewombat 18:29, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Deleted. Unused low quality image showing four paintings, painted by someone non-noteable, hanging on a wall in front of a horrible striped wallpaper. Image also shows some collector's car models in the right bottom corner. Out of scope, we're not somebody's private photo album, and this is really not worth the time spent on a grand copyright investigation (or, indeed, on writing this rationale).

  • Symbol keep vote.svg Keep I'm fairly sure the photog has permission from the artist (as he is standing in the picture). --ShakataGaNai Talk 18:45, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
A GFDL-permission in 1969. Wow, sounds like Nostradsmus. Syrcro 21:15, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Sarcasm does not help. If the Artist gave permission for the photographer to take the picture and do with it as he pleases, which is obvious that he did.... Then we dont care about the artist. All we care about is what the Photog says. And he says (according to OTRS) GFDL. So it is. The picture is legal, and we can move on. --ShakataGaNai Talk 22:50, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
A permission just to take a picture isn't a permission to do with it as he [the Potogrpher] pleases. Syrcro 07:29, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Uh, if it's not a work for hire (a very narrow category), then yes, the photographer can do whatever he pleases with it (personality rights notwithstanding). Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 07:31, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
You're wrong: Commons:Derivative works . Syrcro 10:39, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Okay, I misunderstood: Are you saying that this is a derivative work of the bed of nails or what? Also, I haven't read the OTRS ticket; but if it says that the artist has given the photographer permission to do whatever he likes with the picture, than that's good enough for me. Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 13:18, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

The ticket (2007041710005809) includes the permission of the photographer specified on the image description page to publish the image (and 4 other images) under the conditions of the GNU Free Documentation License. There is no permission email by the artist, and no information on whether or not the artist agrees with that license is being provided. —Pill (talk) 14:57, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Symbol keep vote.svg Keep The photographer says the picture is GDFL. If it isn't so then this is his fault because of missinforming. --Avron 00:33, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment Ticket 2008051110020228 contains a statement by the photographer that there is no permission of the artist. Hence we are talking about a derivative work of a copyrighted, unreleased piece of art. Note: I reverted ShakataGaNai’s closure of this deletion request. Code·is·poetry 21:54, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
    Sorry, the ticket I mentioned is not on this cause, we got only the one Pill named above. Code·is·poetry 22:46, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

OK. Clarification needed. The claim is this is a potential violation of Guenther Uecker's rights. What rights? The copyright on the bed of nails thing (if that exists)? Or the copyright of the photo? (You are citing COM:DW, so I assume it's not a likeness/personality issue since that only deals with copyright). Rocket000 (talk) 03:03, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

BTW, authors are given exclusive rights by default. The subject of the work has absolutely no say over what license the copyright holder chooses. And remember things can be relicense; of course it wasn't GFDL in 1969 but it is now. Rocket000 (talk) 03:07, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Symbol keep vote.svg Keep Uecker is as a popular artist a public figure. I see no reason for a violation of Guenther Uecker's rights. Uecker came forward in the fifties with his nail pictures. We can talk about a violation of Guenther Uecker's rights when he is naked. --Zita (talk) 09:38, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
The nail-thing is a work of art, so the photo of if is a DW, but there is no licence by Uecker. Syrcro (talk) 14:07, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
The licenced photo itself is an artwork. --Zita (talk) 19:07, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
It is, but "just" a derivative work of that nail-what-ever. Syrcro (talk) 18:44, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Deleted. It is clear that the bed of nails is a 3D artwork created by Guenther Uecker, and that he has copyright in that artwork. Commons has no licence from him releasing his rights in any way. Of course, he knew the photograph was being taken (assuming that is him in it), but where is his premission which allows the photographer validly to release an image of that copright artwork under GDFL? --MichaelMaggs (talk) 15:35, 6 September 2008 (UTC) MichaelMaggs

Deletion request re-opened.

  • Symbol delete vote.svg Delete This is a perfectly proper request, and the image should be deleted as the permission of the subject has not been provided. See COM:PEOPLE. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 10:47, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Symbol keep vote.svg Keep She posed for the camera. The photos are out there. Our use of it doesn't "violate" any mystical rights. If we were first publishers maybe but it's on flickr. Plus the USA doesn't really have moral rights, and the photo appears to be American. -N 12:04, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
  • This is not to do with moral rights in the legal sense, but in the ethical. "She posed for the picture" is self-evidently true, but irrelevant. Where is the evidence that she knew that her picture was going to be released publicly, and that she consented? There should be an OTRS ticket if she did. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 16:10, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Symbol delete vote.svg Delete - I think there needs to be a real debate about this somewhere. Porn - as in beauty & art - is in the eye of the beholder. I hate to admit it but it is just possible that I have found sites on the internet in the past where this type of picture the standard content - they are termed "adult" sites. The fact that it exists elsewhere is not a reason why we should have it (indeed I would tend to argue the reverse in this case - it is available elsewhere so why do we want it?). --Herby talk thyme 16:43, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Symbol delete vote.svg Eyða, out of scope, no permission of the individual. --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 10:06, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Symbol delete vote.svg Delete Several issues with the image. First, highly intimate images of this kind if released without permission could cause serious harm to the individual. Commons, as an advocate for collection of free content, should be setting a high standard for all aspects of collecting, storing, licensing, and the reuse of our content. With images such as these, this requires determining if there is strong evidence that the image was released with the permission of the the subject of the photo, and the subject fully understood that the image would be published under a license that allowed unlimited reuse with proper attribution. I do not see evidence that the subject is aware of the release of this image and therefore feel that the image should be removed until it is obtained.
  • Second, Commons images are collected for a purpose. Unlike Flickr, Commons is not intended to be a location where private images are stored. Images need to have a purpose. In general, Commons does not police this aspect of uploads as a high priority because of the high demand for examining more pressing licensing issue. But when we are discussing an image such as this one, it is worthwhile to examine the image to see if it fits Commons mission. In my opinion, there is a significant downside to hosting an unlimited number of pornographic images that needs to be addressed in our discussion. As Herby implies in his comment, Commons is not "adult site" and collecting an unlimited number of pornographic images will cause us to be seen as one by outside organizations. This needs to be be one consideration. Will collecting an unlimited number of these images harm our relationship with other organizations? In reality, I think it does. Some institutions, even those that respect the idea of free exchange of ideas and are opposed to censorship, would not collaborate with organizations appear to have this as a primary mission. As responsible stewards of Commons future, this aspect of the discussion should not be ignored.
  • That said, when examining the merits of including this particular image, I do not think that this image is a horrible example of a female in a sexually explicit pose. If I had to choose between this image and others that I've seen uploaded to Commons and Wikipedia-en, this one is of higher quality and taste. But beyond the issue of quality and taste, I do have a concern about the use of this image. It is not possible from the image to clearly determine the age of the subject. I suspect she is over the age of consent, but it is not clear. I'm extremely reluctant to keep sexually provocative (sexually explicit, in this case) images on site unless the subject is obviously over the age of consent.
  • Because of these concerns, I suggest the image be deleted until the issues are resolved. FloNight♥♥♥ 12:56, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Apparently, someone nominated this for deletion but didn't create the subpage. I've created the subpage so we can settle this matter. Red Phoenix 16:11, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Symbol keep vote.svg Keep The reason for deletion given was "not needed at all", and since when is that a reason to delete a free image? Also, it is needed, let me explain. I'm a user from en.wikipedia, but I have this account just for commons matters. Two articles I work with there are an article on the Sega 32X and a list of games for the 32X. Given that the 32X is unusual in that it plugs into the top of the Mega Drive/Genesis, it is a rare console since it only sold 200,000 units, and that it generally helps the respective article, I would say it is very much needed, not to mention this is a free image that doesn't appear to have any copyright issues.

  • Symbol delete vote.svg Delete This is a perfectly proper request, and the image should be deleted as the permission of the subject has not been provided. See COM:PEOPLE. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 10:47, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

  • This is not to do with moral rights in the legal sense, but in the ethical. "She posed for the picture" is self-evidently true, but irrelevant.

  • Symbol delete vote.svg Delete - I think there needs to be a real debate about this somewhere. Porn - as in beauty & art - is in the eye of the beholder. I hate to admit it but it is just possible that I have found sites on the internet in the past where this type of picture the standard content - they are termed "adult" sites. The fact that it exists elsewhere is not a reason why we should have it (indeed I would tend to argue the reverse in this case - it is available elsewhere so why do we want it?). --Herby talk thyme 16:43, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Symbol delete vote.svg Delete Several issues with the image. First, highly intimate images of this kind if released without permission could cause serious harm to the individual. Commons, as an advocate for collection of free content, should be setting a high standard for all aspects of collecting, storing, licensing, and the reuse of our content. With images such as these, this requires determining if there is strong evidence that the image was released with the permission of the the subject of the photo, and the subject fully understood that the image would be published under a license that allowed unlimited reuse with proper attribution. I do not see evidence that the subject is aware of the release of this image and therefore feel that the image should be removed until it is obtained.
  • Second, Commons images are collected for a purpose. Unlike Flickr, Commons is not intended to be a location where private images are stored. Images need to have a purpose. In general, Commons does not police this aspect of uploads as a high priority because of the high demand for examining more pressing licensing issue. But when we are discussing an image such as this one, it is worthwhile to examine the image to see if it fits Commons mission. In my opinion, there is a significant downside to hosting an unlimited number of pornographic images that needs to be addressed in our discussion. As Herby implies in his comment, Commons is not "adult site" and collecting an unlimited number of pornographic images will cause us to be seen as one by outside organizations. This needs to be be one consideration. Will collecting an unlimited number of these images harm our relationship with other organizations? In reality, I think it does. Some institutions, even those that respect the idea of free exchange of ideas and are opposed to censorship, would not collaborate with organizations appear to have this as a primary mission. As responsible stewards of Commons future, this aspect of the discussion should not be ignored.
  • That said, when examining the merits of including this particular image, I do not think that this image is a horrible example of a female in a sexually explicit pose. If I had to choose between this image and others that I've seen uploaded to Commons and Wikipedia-en, this one is of higher quality and taste. But beyond the issue of quality and taste, I do have a concern about the use of this image. It is not possible from the image to clearly determine the age of the subject. I suspect she is over the age of consent, but it is not clear. I'm extremely reluctant to keep sexually provocative (sexually explicit, in this case) images on site unless the subject is obviously over the age of consent.
  • Because of these concerns, I suggest the image be deleted until the issues are resolved. FloNight♥♥♥ 12:56, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

In some Wikipedias users are openly encouraged to use sockpuppets for uploading of difficult images of any kind (e. g. in german Wikipedia). Here even EXIF data is intact, what's very untypical for copyright violations. Those EXIFs reveal a camera type that was very common for that period too. So there's no reason for copyright paranoia!

[edit] Images of Alexkhandria2k

Considering the fact that these are the only contributions ever by User:Alexkhandria2k, I find the simple assertion that the user holds the copyright to be doubtful, to say the least. Further considering that Commons has more than enough illustratory images of female genitals, I recommend deletion of all listed images. Dorftrottel 17:25, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

ETA's logo is present in many places of Wikipedia (e.g. ETAlogo.jpg), apart from the articles related to the organisation. The copyright conditions in those pictures specify that it's possible to use it in such sizes. This means that this use is valid as well. Escorial82 17:34 25 May 2008 (UTC)

The logo is in English Wikipedia, but not in the other as it was deleted from commons for copyvio. As you can see in ETAlogo.jpg this image appears as copyrightes, so it can be used on English Wikipedia but not in others, and specially not in commons. -Theklan 00:11, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Warsaw_Uprising_-_Karl_Ammunition.jpg

I don't think this image applies to the Licensing. It is unlikely that this was made by a Polish photographer or published for the first time in Poland and simultanously Poland and abroad. There are some images in this category with same problem. Avron 22:30, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Note: I accidentally closed this DR. I was being a bit trigger-happy with DelReqHandler.js ;\ Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 05:07, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
    • What does in mean "unlikely that this was (...) published for the first time in Poland"? Read carefuly {{PD-Polish}}:

      ...all photographs by Polish photographers (or published for the first time in Poland or simultaneously in Poland and abroad) published without a clear copyright notice before the law was changed on May 23, 1994 are assumed public domain.

      It was published in Poland 1994 (source referred); the experienced uploader knows rules and no reason not to trust him. Julo 06:54, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
There is no proof at all that this image was published for the first time in Poland.
Additionaly they may be PD in Poland, by not in the rest of world. In Germany there is also a freedom of panorama but this images are not allowed on commons.
Don't take me wrong, I want to have this pictures on commons but at the moment I doubt the license is OK.--Avron 10:36, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I'll go your way: I have doubts that you have daubts that I have daubts that you have doubts about the fact the licence is rigth or not. There are two opinion: the first is proven the second it is only unproven doubts... In my opinion it is you who should prove it. It is quite hard to prove that you are not a camel.

    • Pictogram voting info.svg Info: I agree with Avron that "it is unlikely that this was made by a Polish photographer", but I assumed that the image was "published for the first time in Poland". There is no way for me to prove that there were no earlier non-Polish printings, and if any are found than I think it would be appropriate to delete the image, but I think you should prove it. There are hundreds of images of German forces (Germans, Ukrainians, Cossacks, Azerbaijanis, etc.) from Warsaw Uprising (see [6] or [7]), but most images on Commons are the few that I can find in book sources. --Jarekt 12:47, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
I know there was a long debate about a similiar case Commons:Deletion requests/Category:Stroop Report but it was clear that the pictures were published in Poland for the first time. In other case Commons:Deletion requests/Image:The Bochnia massacre German-occupied Poland 1939.jpg it was made clear that this image is polish property.
Here this is much more difficult. Some other questionable images like Image:Karl16.jpg don't even show the publication origin. I didn't nominate all of the images, just one, to clarify the status. --Avron 12:55, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Any {{PD-Polish}} images that do not have proof of publication (or other form of official printing) in Poland should not use that license and likely should not be on Commons. I consider them a separate and different group, which should be discussed separately. --Jarekt 19:53, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
I don't think that is enough. PD-Polish can only apply when photo was for the first time published in Poland and not because it was once published in Poland. That is the crucial difference. It can't be this way: someone finds photos in a polish book, uploads it on commons and automaticaly claims it as PD-Polish. --Avron 08:40, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
I also agree with your statement above. That is why I am not uploading WWII pictures of Hitler or battle of Stalingrad using {{PD-Polish}}, which I have plenty of in Polish books. I am uploading pictures from Warsaw Uprising and Occupation, since I assumed that people outside of Poland are less interested in those and those pictures were unlikely to be printed for the first time outside of Poland. However if there is any proof of prior printing outside of Poland before the earliest date of publication listed with the image, that would be a good reason for removal. --Jarekt 13:28, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Finally I've found this picture in German Federal Archives [8] as "Bild 101I-695-0424-08A" --Avron 10:14, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

  • And this is a right way you should go at the beginning. Regards Electron 10:27, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
As I said before, you don't have a clou about licensing on Commons. Also as I said before, the uploader is responsible for the appropriate licensing, not anyone else. Commons:Licensing is a good place to start on this topic. --Avron 11:54, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
You are right but you don't right, too. What would you say if I declared that you are not an European citizen because I doubt about it. I know that you are probably German but it is not enougt for me... I think that it is a similar situation and in a such situation it is my way to prove my doubts not you. To sum up: You have doubts and you (in the end of all) move your but... and did what be to done on the beginning. BTW: it is very simptomatic that especially Germans have such a strict copy right law about the pictures that were taken during WWII. It is quite strange and say very much for that who remember what Germans did during this time... OK. But law is a law and it is not my buisness what kind of law is now here in Germany... Regards and I wish you a good day :) Electron 12:37, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
Electron, If you are trying to be helpful in this discussion, I think you should stick to facts and not your opinions about other users. --Jarekt 13:28, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for understanding. I've tried to tell this from the beginning: only facts, please - not undocumented doubts... Regards Electron 06:27, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Avron, It is interesting that you found this picture in German Federal Archives. A lot of the same WWII pictures you might find it in American, Russian and Polish archives as well. What is significance of your find to this discussion? Does it mean the picture was printed in Germany? --Jarekt 13:28, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I know, I'm taking the role of devil's advocate, so I'm not liked ;-) As I said I would like to keep the pictures but I also want to assure that one can trust the PD-Polish to the best of our's knowledge. There are some indications not to trust in this case. Usually commons has strict rules so the licensing should be credible.
To your question, what is the significance of this image in the German Federal Archives:
  • The author is a certain Mr? Leher of german propaganda troops
  • The ownership of the nagative is on the German Federal Archives
This proves not much in this case, but the indication is that a polish book of 1994 is unlikely the first publication of this image. Nothing more, nothing less. It's up to the admins, which have a deeper knowledge of licensing, whether to trust PD-Polish or not in this and similar cases.
But what annoys me a bit is the attempt of establishing a reversal of the burden of proof for the licensing, like me had to proof that the image is not copyrighted. That is not the way Commons work.
--Avron 16:51, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
Your role as "devil's advocate" is appreciated, since it might clarify boundaries of which images are acceptable and which are not under this license. The last thing I want to do is to invest a lot of time researching, organizing and documenting a collection of images and to have them all deleted. I also understand your annoyance with burden of proof, but I can not think of a better alternative. If I upload any PD-Polish image of unknown photographer (and it is very rare to see photographer's names in many Polish books) I usually can not guarantee his nationality or that it was not published before in other country. But, if there is high probability that photographer was Polish or that there would be little interest in the picture subject in other countries, than I use PD-Polish and document books I found the image in. I might document multiple books in search for the oldest one (see for example Image:Gesiowka.jpg). I also understand that if prior publishing is found than the image will no longer meets requirements of PD-Polish. This the process I observed being used with PD-Polish and I can not think of better alternative.
As for this particular image it all boils down to probabilities. I was guessing that it was likely published in Poland first since I assumed that there was much more interest in subject of Warsaw Uprising in Poland than in other countries. However, I can see that late publishing of the book (1994) and physical location of the negatives in Germany are a problem. I will let others judge the likelihoods. --Jarekt 19:25, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Bee_Gees_logo.gif

I've re-opened this discussion, as this image did not previously receive sufficient debate or consideration. Nomination request was "I guess it's protected by copyright" which was implicit its assertion of uncertainty. Please consider the following:

  • The words "Bee Gees" are, as a phrase, not eligible for copyright protection. No album cover or other work from which this image was allegedly derived was provided; where is evidence that this is not the work of the uploader? I can write, for example, trade names such as "Microsoft" or "The Rolling Stones" in whatever font I choose with no violation; considerations of ineligibly due to being "a simple typeface" don't even come into play without first identifying the work allegedly being copied (i.e. of what image is this a copyvio? Give us a link or other substantive information).
  • Text is not eligible for copyright. "A simple typeface", the deleting admin's term, is not a legal phrase or definition. The United States Copyright Office identifies "mere variations of typographic ornamentation, lettering, or coloring" as ineligible for protection" (emphasis mine) and has been reiterated numerous times in case law, including, for example, Darden v. Peters. The logic therefor is rooted in the concept of "useful articles", as articulated by Title 17. "Mere variations of typographic ornamentation" is very broad wording and, indeed, seemingly counterintuitive in the apparent latitude it provides. However, it is what it is.

The notion that text must take the form of "a simple typeface" to be ineligible for protection is a misconception not supported by statutes or case law (likely caused in part by a hitherto removed, misleading and false disclaimer at Template talk:PD-textlogo). If Commons wants to implement a text policy that is stricter than actual law (e.g. just as en.wiki fair use is stricter than "real life" fair use), that is something we can certainly consider. As things stand now, however, this image has been wrongly deleted. ЭLСОВВОLД talk 15:25, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Windows screenshots

Windows is a non-free operating system published by Microsoft, and the appearance of its GUI widgets is likewise non-free. Per Commons:Licensing#Screenshots, it appears that the use of non-free widgets such as the Windows title bar in a screenshot may not count as de minimis copying, making the whole image non-free. I'm not an expert at identifying close boxes, as I have never used Windows Vista, but I have difficulty believing that all of these screenshots were taken with Wine. --Damian Yerrick () 23:23, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Symbol keep vote.svg Keep Dialog boxes, buttons, and the like are not copyrighted. In fact, this was Microsoft's position under oath in Apple v. Microsoft. -N 23:37, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
    • Quoting from Commons:Licensing#Screenshots (my emphasis):

    • In addition, the specific designs of the minimize, maximize, and close boxes are not textual elements. --Damian Yerrick () 23:43, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
      • So Microsoft's sworn statements in Apple v. Microsoft that their look and feel isn't copyrighted shouldn't be binding on them? -N 23:45, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
        • The up arrow to scroll up isn't copyrighted, but the specific image used for an up arrow in Windows may be. Otherwise, Apple would have had 0 leverage when it was sending out cease and desists for unauthorized Aqua clones. --Damian Yerrick () 23:43, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

      • What a senseless discussion...on the same level you could say, the painter has no rights for his painting, because some other people produced the colors... The preceding unsigned comment was added by 89.196.72.102 (talk • contribs) at 13:30, 17. Apr 2008 (UTC)
Damian: the Aqua clones copied the whole interface (or "skin")! A screenshot is something different. A commentator on slashdot said about the Aqua and Apple controversy:
There is no issue here. These are not Aqua-inspired graphics, or reminiscent-of-Aqua graphics, or graphics that look sorta like Aqua, these are Apple's graphics, copied and pasted, bit for bit, into a Stardock theme. This is not "look and feel", this is just plagiarism. [..] This is a re-implementation of Aqua on Windows. [..] Taking someone else's work and calling it your own is being a dick. How can anybody reasonably defend this? ([9])
To take a screenshot of a program that incidentally show three window-icons or a scrollbar is on a completely different level. The "down arrow" or the "maximize icon" look quite differently in different versions of Windows or even in different Windows skins. I find it unlikely that they, by themselves, can be be copyright protected. Not everything can be copyrighted.
And how does http://www.jisclegal.ac.uk/publications/copyrightalexmorrisson.htm prove that every part of an operating system is copyrighted?
So I don't see any solid evidence why it should be copyrighted. I think user:N has on the other hand provided evidence of the opposite.
Fred J 02:49, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
I'm inclined to agree with User:O here, but I think most images can be saved by cropping. I have previously interpreted Commons:Licensing#Screenshots such that screenshots should not show titlebars from non-free operating systems. I would regard the rounded design, shadow effects, gradients and colour scheme as used by default in Microsoft Windows versions later than Windows 2000 and Windows XP, taken as a whole (not just "the blue spectrum"), as copyrightable. I would not regard its inclusion as incidental or de minimis, as it generally appears in full resolution without any distortion. I do recognise that it is a borderline case, but as much as I cannot say with certainty that it does infringe, one would be hard-pressed to make a substantiated argument with any reasonable degree of certainty that all courts in applicable jurisdictions would hold these elements to be below the threshold of originality. I don't, however, see a problem with screenshots with the older look of Microsoft Windows or screenshots cropped to exclude the titlebar. I believe we should err on the side of caution to protect the legal integrity of Commons and crop out unnecessary window decorations, and I think that would be a sufficient remedy in most cases to avoid deletion.
In summary:
Symbol keep vote.svg Keep "Windows classic look" screenshots (e.g. Image:Jazilla milestone 4.png)
Crop all others to exclude Window decorations
Symbol delete vote.svg Delete those screenshots where this is not possible (such as for MDI applications)
LX (talk, contribs) 16:44, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Since in KDE it is possible to select a "Redmond" Skin (i.e. a windows classic look and feel) and since KDE doesn't contain copyrighted images, those screenshot can be kept.

Symbol keep vote.svg Keep most, Symbol delete vote.svg Delete some. Nearly all of these do not contain non-free material (some do like the ones with Windows icons, and I'm not talking about simple generic geometric shapes like the "close" button or "down" arrow). The classic title bar is not specific to Windows. If it was, practically all free software would be in violate of Microsoft's copyrights, and I don't think that's the case. Rocket000 22:13, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Specifically, I support deleting Image:Gnucleus - Downloads Screenshot.jpg, Image:Emule morpht.PNG, Image:POL eMule search results.gif, Image:Emule 047a.jpg, Image:7-Zip screenshot.png, Image:7-Zip Filhanterare.gif, Image:7-Zip File Manager ES.png, and Image:Wikipedia rss with mozilla thunderbird.PNG for those who hate Wikipedia's logo being used where it's not needed. The rest seem fine to me except maybe the Vista one. The title bar, scroll arrows, and right-hand buttons are not enough to be a copyvio. Mainly because it's way to generic and Microsoft didn't even design them, but also because I would say text, gradients, and extremely simple geometric non-artistic shapes are PD-ineligible. You might say it's eligible when taken as a whole, but Microsoft and the U.S. court system would disagree[10]. Rocket000 22:46, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Symbol keep vote.svg Keep A Windows classic title bar is not enough to make it copyrighted by Microsoft. Platonides 22:40, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Symbol keep vote.svg Keep most, I think. Copyrightability standards can differ between countries... the discussion linked above is for the UK, but US rules are probably more applicable here. The symbols on the title bar icons are too simple to be copyrighted (and were taken from en:NEXTSTEP anyways), and likewise the WinNT / Win2K stylings are also too simple, I think. I'm less sure of the XP and Vista styles... they are more complex gradients, but if they are autogenerated programmatically, that is actually an argument against copyrightability (no human artistic involvement). They are certainly branding of a sort, maybe trademarkable, but I'm still unsure about copyright. Of course, most individual graphic icons are copyrightable, so screenshots which show task bar icons, the desktop background, program icons, system icons in file listings, etc. would all be copyrightable. Some of the above screenshots have those, and not all can be saved, but some can through cropping. Carl Lindberg 07:38, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
"but if they are autogenerated programmatically, that is actually an argument against copyrightability": <sarcasm>Yeah, and SVG images are automatically {{PD-ineligible}}.</sarcasm> Gradients in such vector images are also generated programmatically, but the choice of the area in which the gradient is applied, as well as the colors and directions of the gradient, are creative steps. --Damian Yerrick () 15:32, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Obviously SVG images are not automatically ineligible. A single gradient though, should not be eligible by itself. Drawing a straight line involves choices in placement, angle, and color, but that would not be anywhere close to copyrightable by itself either. If a generic effect can be applied to arbitrary shapes, then simply adding that effect to an uncopyrightable image does not automatically add a copyright, I don't think. Does Adobe get part ownership of a derivative copyright if you use one of its Photoshop effects on one of your images? The XP title bar style seems to be horizontal gradients... is that original enough, or is that just common practice to create a 3D-ish effect? It is probably arguable either way. Simply changing the colors is not enough to add a copyright either, so I'm not sure that enters into it. According to this, Copyrightability depends upon the presence of creative expression in a work, and not upon aesthetic merit, commercial appeal, or symbolic value. From the same document, a combination of a few standard symbols such as a circle, a star, and a triangle, with minor linear or spatial variations is not copyrightable either. It seems to me the design of the title bar falls into that area, but it may be arguable. Obviously, cropping away the title bar is safer, but I'm not comfortable with deleting images solely on that basis either. It may be protectable via trademark or design patent, but copyright, to me, seems borderline at best. Carl Lindberg 17:13, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
  • What on earth. Totally unfounded nomination. Keep them all. Among the topmost unfounded listings here are for example Image:Blender 2.45 screenshot.jpg (uses all its own UI elements) and Image:AWB Username.png (does not display a single Windows UI Element). --Ligulem 15:19, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
    • It's founded until COM:DW lists an explicit exemption for de minimis use. The AWB screenshot has a down arrow from a scrollbar, and one might argue that the specific shape of this down arrow comes from the (copyrighted) Windows library. Blender has a non-classic titlebar, or is this titlebar drawn using a custom toolkit in the same way that the titlebar of Office 2007 windows is drawn? --Damian Yerrick () 23:56, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Symbol keep vote.svg Keep where the objection is on the basis that there are minor elements of Windows OS in view as part of the free software's screen shot. Where a screen shot includes a piece of Microsoft software (e.g. OS utility or applet, or stand-alone application), then certainly it should be removed from Commons (perhaps to be hosted on a platform that permits fair use images and images with other licenses permitting limited use). I don't see any images in this collection that meet those criteria. Application title bars, scroll bars and drop-down list arrows don't, IMHO, meet such criteria. Webaware talk 02:01, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Rocket000's selection of images have file listings which include file icons, including system and third-party ones, so those could be a problem. Image:Emule-transfer-stats-window 048a.png needs to have the windows task bar cropped off for sure. Carl Lindberg 05:24, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
      • OK, I'll grant that the emule image needs cropping as you say - I had not scrolled down far enough to see the Windows task bar before, sorry! I don't think that the others Rocket000 lists should be deleted, however, as they are not representing the icons as anything more than what their owners intended them to be, and are themselves but a small part of the image (compare to a photograph of a street scene with shop signs, cars with manufacturers' badges, etc.) Webaware talk 03:33, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
        • It's interesting that you mention "cars with manufacturers' badges" See this adrants story about Ford Motor claiming copyright on pictures of its cars. (Found via Slashdot) --Damian Yerrick () 19:23, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
          • Interesting... although it sounds like their claims are solely around trademarks, with nothing to do with copyright. I was not able to find the details of the actual complaint -- just a vague description from someone a couple people removed from the original -- but it's quite possible that they are just claiming that a third-party calendar of all Ford Mustang photos is either trademark dilution or something people may mistakenly assume is a Ford product. Trademarks have to be more vigorously protected, as they are easier to lose. It's also quite possible the lawyers are trying to stretch trademark law to (or beyond) its limits, but without knowing the actual claims it's hard to say either way. As a similar example, the shape of the Empire State Building is trademarked I believe. None of which has anything to do with copyright... you can trademark all kinds of things which would not qualify for copyright. Carl Lindberg 04:22, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
          • Crikey, it would put the blender amongst the pigeons if some heartless companies took a similar view of, what, 20% of the images here on Commons? At any rate, the image referred to by Crotalus horridus, below, adequately demonstrates my point, FWIW. (oh, and note that Ford have not done as you say - they have requested that Cafe Express "cease and desist" producing images of its trademarks for profit, and Cafe Express have gone hunting through its customers' uploads) Webaware talk 09:41, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
  • crop Crop the part of the image that is clearly Microsoft to avoid and problems.
  • Symbol keep vote.svg Keep screenshots containing the classic (95/98/2K) Windows interface. First of all, the site that has been quoted above is irrelevant since it is based in the United Kingdom and discusses UK law. Copyright law in the United States is different in a variety of ways. I don't think that 16×14 toolbar buttons containing only simple geometric shapes have enough creative aspect to be subject to copyright at all, and even if they are, their use here is incidental. It's no different than the Times Square wide-angle shot that happens to contain some trademarked/copyrighted logo. They are not the primary subject of the picture, so their presence is irrelevant. That said, we could always remove any ambiguity by using Wine to take screenshots and employing a theme that looks similar, but not identical, to the standard Windows theme. Crotalus horridus 23:39, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

    • That's an argument for moving all such screenshots to your local Wikipedia or Wikibooks, not for keeping them on Commons. As I understand the policy, the test for Commons is whether it's legal to copy the widget images pixel-for-pixel, use the images for widgets in a Free operating system, sell copies of the Free operating system, and market the Free operating system as a direct competitor to the operating system that the images came from. That distinguishes de minimis copying (which appears to be allowed on Commons but has no solid definition as of March 2008) from fair use copying (allowed only on some language editions of some other Wikimedia projects). --Damian Yerrick () 14:45, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
      • Some free OS's we allow screenshots of have themes that directly mimic XP. Pixel for pixel. And we allow those screenshots. It'd be silly therefore to exclude actual Windows screenshots. -N 20:44, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Deleted the obvious problem images. Left the others for further discussion.

This DR cannot be dealt with properly on the basis of the policies we currently have. There is a need to set out some general principles, agree them, and apply them. Before we can deal with difficult questions like "can Windows minimize/maximize icons be allowed?", we ought to discuss the whole concept of de minimis generally. I propose the following:

  • 1. Write a de minimis proposal, not specifically screenshot-related. I have done this at Commons:De minimis.
  • 2. Discuss and agree that page
  • 3. Apply whatever principles are agreed to screenshots, and draft some easy-to-apply rules that we can use for screenshots
  • 4. Discuss and agree
  • 5. Re-open this DR as needed, and apply those rules.

Please come over to Commons talk:De minimis and discuss. --MichaelMaggs 15:44, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

There is no documentation (other than the user's assertion) of the actual age of any of these images, which are similar in subject matter and other characteristics to numerous copy-vio images uploaded or flickr-washed (often repeatedly) by a now-banned English-language Wikipedia user and sockpuppets (see [17]). I believe this user to be a new sockpuppet of Jvolkblum. For examples of past problematic Commons activity, also see the following ongoing and completed discussions: Flickr images by Mr.Scholastic, Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Attention#Sockpuppeter, Image:BrewsterSchoolhouse.jpg, and PremiumPoint (1).jpg. --Orlady 12:04, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. There is no date on the images to independently verify the age of the images, in the past Jvolkblum has made up dates when they did not know the actual date. BlueAzure 22:20, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Symbol keep vote.svg Keep. We have two issues here.
First, the dating of the postcards. I can say with almost complete certainty that BeechmontEntrance.JPG and BeechmontLake.JPG, at the very least, are dated accurately. The false colouring (a very time-consuming thing to do that few would bother with after colour film went mass-market) and grain is fully consistent with a postcard of this age. Yes, we don't have any actual documentation on this, but in many cases we only have the user's word for it and we don't go on crusades to delete them all ("was this really published in this book?" "does he have independent witnesses willing to state in writing that she did take this with her own camera?"). Which brings us to the second issue:
Second, can we trust this user not to be lying about it? I say we can. Certainly, we should not throw around accusations of sockpuppeteering without convincing evidence. Our nominee said they are "similar in subject matter and other characteristics" to the deleted, well, this is a giant WTF. They are taken from different media, depicting different places in different eras. How our nominee managed to find any similarity other than "they weren't taken yesterday and they all have trees in them" is way beyond me.
TL;DR paranoia is not a substitute for evidence. Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 04:10, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
Addendum: I just noticed this user was blocked. I don't know about what evidence Herby had that this was multiple account abuse; I don't think there was ever enough evidence here to even justify a checkuser in the first place. But whatever.

  • The images which are clearly early 20th century US postcards I have retagged and changed the info from the false PD-self claim to PD-US. This took care of the images except for Image:BeechmontDrive.JPG which did not match the other postcards (and may or may not be old-- could be a modern pic with false b&w photoshop effect) which I deleted.

[edit] WikiProject Canada

There is a tag on a newly created article on commons WikiProject Canada. This is not a gallery, so the tag named This gallery has been requested for deletion is irrelevant and does not make sense at all! The gallery is at Canada. This is a wikiproject similar to these commons definition of wikiprojects and Commons category Wiki Projects . I believe this tag is in error and should be removed. This commons wikiproject is a child of the english wikipedia wikiproject which is trying to resolve image controversy from there. Did add some media to try to help the wikiproject out. Kind Regards.

*deep breath* Okay, knee-jerk reactions aside, here's what I really think. A WikiProject is necessary and useful when other communication channels are not sufficient; e.g. if there is a real and genuine need for centralised discussion of a matter, or when discussion of said matter threatens to drown out other discussions in other channels (VP and friends). I could see how this would be necessary for articles on Wikipedia (though I wonder if they're worthwhile on balance, given the instruction creep and drama that come with them), but really, how useful is it for a media repository? Is there really much to discuss? Are the existing channels really so broken for this purpose that we have to establish new ones (and balkanise the community in the process of doing so)? I say no, and let's not enact solutions to problems that don't exist yet. But I'm open to argument here. Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 02:30, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Symbol keep vote.svg Keep I think theme-based co-ordination is useful.

  • Symbol delete vote.svg Delete There is absolutely no reason for this. It will just make messes (like all the cross-namespace redirects I'm cleaning up) and take away valuable time from contributers. I've seen what some WikiProjects do. Not much.

I don't really want to get into a long discussion, but I don't really think it's the wiki way to start assessing what is and isn't worthwhile work. Obviously we all have our own ideas of what's valuable and what's not -- the genius of Wiki(m|p)edia is that it lets everybody spend their time on their own priorities. It's ridiculous to think that if someone was going to spend time on a project template, and it gets deleted, they will necessarily work the exact amount of time on something else that is "worthy". Wiki-time and wiki-interests are not fungible. --Padraic 18:51, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Apparent copyright violation by all images in Category:Murals in Ludington, Michigan. Freedom of panorama in the United States extends only to architectural works, not to works of public art such as murals or statuary, even if installed permanently in a public place. Therefore these images are subject to the original copyrights on the murals themselves. This would not be an issue if {{PD-old}} or {{PD-US}} applied, but no evidence is presented regarding the date of authorship or identity and date of death of the author. --Werewombat 20:25, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

There can be no question that this is a private place, and her consent cannot be assumed.

Well, it is not good rely on the precedent of one wrong decision to make another.

Isn't it possible sometimes to assume good faith about the consent?

It has nothing to do with her age; quit raising this red herring. As Rama put it, "the photograph is technically naive and crude [and] the model assumes a vulgar position akin to pornographic clichés [...] I see very well why we would distinguish between the numerous nudes we have in store and this one." With that said, if Mutter Erde wants to keep this around so badly (and the crusade he's gone on to keep this is quite startling; one can only presume he needs a little "happy time" every now and then and Commons is the only site with "MILF" pictures that gets past parental filtering ;)), then Symbol keep vote.svg Keep it.

  • Symbol delete vote.svg Delete per comments in the previous deletion request. Despite assertions at the undeletion request, this is a matter of scope. Commons is here to host images that may be useful for some project. Both pornographic and anatomical aspects have representation in alternative, technically superior (composition, lighting, etc) images. There is no reasonably expected present or future use. The issue of personality rights is also a concern. We should not be assuming or speculating on the model’s permission. The quality of this image is decidedly unprofessional and AGF, by definition, does not apply and is not extended outside of Wiki. What has happened with past images up for deletion is irrelevant; we’re reviewing/discussing this image against policies/guidelines; it needs to stand or fall on its own merit, or lack thereof.

  • Symbol keep vote.svg Keep Lets be absolutely clear: nudity is no reason to delete from the Commons. We have to obey US criminal law, but that doesn't seem at all relevant here. However we have our own rule that a photo of a person in a private situation (especially if intimate or embarrassing) must be consented to by that person. We are accepting photos by recognized artists like Klashorst because these are posed with models, not private shots. I would have voted to delete this picture but [20] (found by following the link to Flickr) shows that it is no private moment but this woman's hobby. --Simonxag 13:15, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Vicond

  • There's no impetus on me to provide anything; I trust you know how categories work. Scope requires images be useful for a project; what article in what project would you expect this to be useful now or in the future? MILF has been suggested, but no consideration appears to have been given to the fact that, although Wiki is not censored, projects generally do not use images which are more explicit than absolutely necessary. As I said above, go ahead and add this image to a MILF article and see whether it sticks. ЭLСОВВОLД talk 15:41, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

I can understand your wievpoint but I want to say that commons have a lot of images that seemingly don't have any utility, but maybe can help to complement the main information of an specific article.I'm propposed ,in the other DR,a new category for old womens.So,I believe that it can be a commons's objective too.

There seems to be a little misunderstanding of the function of commons. Commons is not only a repository for around 750 wikipedia projects, but especially a gallery for print houses. Otherwise this policy would make no sense: "Generally speaking, image quality and resolution should be as high as possible so images can be used in high-quality printouts, for example" (Source: Commons:First_steps/Quality_and_description#Images) Mutter Erde 22:02, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

If this were an original work taking inspiration from something in the public domain, I'd tend to agree; but this seems more of a simple copy than a reinterpretation with sufficent originality to be considred a new work.

Appears to be copied from consplayers.com, whose vague licensing policy can be seen here. Identical images were deleted as copyvios on en-wiki--see en:Possibly unfree images/2008 January 25#Image:Vertexguy01.jpg, en:User talk:8BitRulez, and en:Special:DeletedContributions/8BitRulez (sysops only). jonny-mt en me! 08:49, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Symbol keep vote.svg Keep I found a very similar picture but it is not the same. In fact it is obvious that these images are _not_ from Consplayer because the consplayer images are much nicer (no motion blur). Keep on all them unless you can find two images that are actually identical between the sites. --ShakataGaNai Talk 09:28, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
    • Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment While I can buy that the other one is not copyrighted, this one appears to be from the same set as en:Image:Vertexguy02.jpg, which is listed by the uploader (who appears to be the same on both projects; see my response to the other image for more information) as belonging to Cosplayers. I'd be happy to undelete it for a temporary review if you'd like. --jonny-mt en me! 15:12, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
      • I hate to be a stick in the mud, but I noticed a few things: #1 - This image is larger than the copy on consplayer.com (by a bit) - so it would be impossible for him to have just "cut off" the watermark. #2 - This picture is taken from the right hand side of the stage, where as most of the consplayer images were taken from the left or center of stage. #3 - I can't find any images in the gallery that are almost identical or identical to the DR's you nom'd.
      • If you think it will help - you can go ahead and undelete that one image temporarily on en.wp (Oh how I wish Commons admins had global deleted file viewing ability) and poke me on my talk page. I'll take a look - but at this point I think the images that he uploaded are actually his own. --ShakataGaNai Talk 19:56, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
        • Well, there's always the proposed global admin group :) Anyways, after walking away for a little bit and coming back with fresh eyes, I'm inclined now to agree with you. I'd been keeping an eye on these photos since they were added at once by the uploader of the original copyvios (incidentally, the "cropped watermark" comment in the deletion log only refers to a comment I made at en:Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images/2008 January 25#Image:Vertexguy01.jpg about en:Image:Vertexguy03.jpg, where the image you linked above was re-uploaded with the watermark cropped out). But the arguments above combined with an e-mail I received from the uploader explaining where the images came from have convinced me, so I'm going to go hunt down the templates I need to withdraw and close these nominations. --jonny-mt en me! 02:00, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. Balabiot 14:06, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
  • I have no idea what Image:Making_Movies.svg was, but this image is way too simple to be copyrighted. It's merely the text "The Beatles" on a plain white background, which is ineligible for copyright, just as most company logos are (see Category:Company logos). Simple text like this cannot be copyrighted, even if it does appear as part of a copyrighted album's artwork. The "Zoso" logo (Image:Zoso.svg) from the album Led Zeppelin IV was nominated for deletion as well, but its result was keep because a small group of characters are not eligible for copyright.

  • Symbol keep vote.svg Keep It's some text. pd-ineligible. -N 23:45, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Symbol keep vote.svg Keep Undoubtedly ineligible; I think the Making Movies DR was errantly closed. Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 03:02, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Symbol keep vote.svg Keep Please see Commons:Deletion requests/Image:The Beatles album cover.jpg for my comments. --Hautala 11:18, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment pardon, but this is insane. Ask a random bunch of people to write "Zoso" with fancy characters. If they put a line between the o's and one below, and draw a kind of triangle on the bottom line, I'll agree that this is ineligible. same for Making Movies. if you give a random bunch of people a red background, a light blue rectangle, a light blue semicircle, and ask them to arrange them in some way and write "Dire Straits" and "Making Movies" (you could replace "Dire Straits" and "Making Movies" with "Deers' rights" and "Telling stories" to avoid influencing people). Again, if all of them put the rectangle on the right side, the semicircle next to the rectangle, and write the text vertically in the rectangle, then Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Making Movies.svg was ineligible too.
I doubt that this would happen in any sane experiment, and actually I doubt that most people if asked to write "The Beatles" on a blank sheet of paper would write it in grey, would write "The BEATLES" with the right combo of lowercase/uppercase, and would push it slightly towards the right edge. Even people who know the cover!!!
The reason why I doubt that, is because you are asking people to use creativity, and creativity is how the original artists came up with these concepts. Creative work makes anything a work of art; and even if the result is very simple, "ineligibility" might make indipendent reinvention not a copyvio, but attempts to mock would remain copyvio without any doubt.

Nonsense, Wikipedia, etc. should't create a new view - it should show excisting views. So this picture is not relevant. And in fact it is important to improve the mood in Wikipedia... see this relevant (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_Welt) german Page: http://www.welt.de/kultur/article1271014/Wikipedia_laufen_die_fleissigen_Autoren_weg.html. And read here (German): "In jüngster Zeit hat die Wikipediagemeinde zunehmend Schwierigkeiten, engagierte Autoren zu finden bzw. zu halten. Eine im Herbst 2007 veröffentlichte Erhebung in der englischsprachigen Version ergab, dass erstmals seit Gründung die Wikipedia sinkendes Engagement ihrer vormals als Autoren aktiven Benutzer zu verzeichnen hat und auch die Zahl der Neuanmeldungen rückläufig ist. Einer der Hauptgründe ist laut Studie ein immer rauer werdender Umgangston innerhalb der Gemeinde.[17]" from http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia#Sozialstruktur_der_Autoren —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.160.69.184 (talk • contribs) Kam Solusar 11:22, 7 June 2008 (UTC) (UTC)

[edit] Image:The Beatles album cover.jpg

As an album cover, it is inherently a non-free image. The uploader claims this cover is ineligible for copyright because it is "too simple". szyslak 08:22, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

The uploader here. It is too simple because:
  1. It has nothing but the words "The BEATLES" on the foreground. You can't copyright two words.
  2. The words don't form anything pictorial and are in fact in a common typeface, which are public domain.
  3. The background is plain, you can't copyright a plain colour.
When you say that album covers are inherently non-free, you should be saying that in practice almost all album covers can be and are protected by copyright. This one is very exceptional in that sense. Please also see Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Nirvana album cover.jpg. --Hautala 11:12, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
Could you please point to the copyright law that says things that are too "simple" can't be copyrighted? This is a copyrighted image that doesn't belong on Commons. However, you're free to upload it to a wiki that allows fair use images, such as the English Wikipedia. In fact, on enwiki's version of the image, it's tagged as fair use. szyslak 21:38, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
The U.S. Copyright Office has on the page Copyright Office Basics answer to the question "What Is Not Protected by Copyright?". According to it,
  1. "Titles, names" are not protected, meaning the words "The BEATLES" are not protected as the title of the album or the name of the band
  2. "mere variations of typographic ornamentation, lettering, or coloring" are not protected, meaning that as the font used on the cover is not protected as it is just one of the zillion similar fonts
  3. "Works consisting entirely of information that is common property and containing no original authorship" are not protected, which is legal mumbo jumbo for "simple". --Hautala 12:02, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Symbol keep vote.svg Keep Just because it's famous doesn't mean it's copyrighted. --Fb78 14:40, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
Symbol keep vote.svg Keep Yes, it is really strange, and probably it is not that useful to have just one album cover, and not the others. But it really seems to me that you cannot copyright such a straightforward idea, no matter you use that as an album cover. --Mormegil 17:08, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Symbol delete vote.svg Delete I think that the reason given above should consider the artistic value of the image, too. Its simplicity is not casual, it is a precise design choice adding value to the composition. We can see this cover as the music biz equivalent of a Lucio Fontana painting. And they are copyrighted :-) --Jollyroger 08:49, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
I don't know the case of the paintings, but I dare to disagree that simplicity would be copyrighted if even it was artistic. If the cover was even simpler, all white for example, that would be an artistic decision just as well and would probably have artistic value as well (it's one of the most famous album covers), but still, that would not mean the record company would gain copyrights to white colour or plain album covers. --Hautala 11:48, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Agreed with Hautala. The thing that there has been much deliberation put into some decision does not make the result copyrightable. Compare this with e.g. book titles. An author may spend days choosing a good name, but still, the name itself is not protected by copyright. [31] --Mormegil 12:19, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

        • NNAA (No, not at all). Because most people if asked to write "The Beatles" on a blank sheet of paper would not write it in grey, would not write "The BEATLES" with the right combo of lowercase/uppercase, and would not push it slightly towards the right edge. Even people who know the cover. That makes it a work of art, despite its simplicity (which might be a reason to not consider copyvio an independent reinvention -- but not an admitted attempt to mock the original work of art). Balabiot 06:40, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
          • And if you told someone to type out Microsoft, then they probably wouldn't use the same font and "pac man" idea as this, but this is our classic case of ineligibility. Indeed, if I asked you to write the word "this" right now, I dare say you wouldn't end up writing exactly the same thing as this, but I'd be silly to say this was some kind of unique, copyrighted expression.

No evidence that the uploader has authorisation to publish this logo. Publication is not enough in any case. Listed as fair-use of a non-free logo on enwiki, same uploader. Angusmclellan 21:00, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

False license. There was no Creative Commons back in the 1950s. Chech Explorer 04:20, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

It is from a defunct British motorcycle manufacturer in an obsolete magazine so there is nobody to ask for pemission - I've removed it from the new wikipedia article on Ambassador Motorcyles - but is there a case for a 'fair use' just on this article? TR001 12:48, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
You can use the image 70 years after the magazine company locked down. --Chech Explorer 14:39, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
