The mermaid is no longer "de minimis" in this crop as was claimed in the original photo. Freedom of panorama not valid for statues in Denmark, Artist not dead for 70 years. Nillerdk (talk) 15:37, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Thanks for completing my entry - I think my popup-blocker prevented the gadget to complete it in July). No, to be considered de minimis, the Mermaid should happen to be there accidentally. This is clearly not the case - even the filename tells us what this is (i.e., not a panorama). One could easily have made a panorama scene while avoiding her. Notice that the heirs of the sculptor are known to sue copyright violators and win the cases. The Danish Act on Copyright is clear: Only noncommercial use of photographs of statues is allowed without permission from the owner of the rights. Nillerdk (talk) 15:48, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Delete The statue is the subject of the picture. De minimis isn't about size, it's about what the picture is actually of. I'd also delete the original picture as I don't believe the tourists are the real subject. --Simonxag (talk) 20:34, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Also on the last part. Do you nominate it? Nillerdk (talk) 10:54, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. The main subject of the picture is the statue, and its inclusion is not incidental; hence de minimis doesn't apply. –Tryphon 08:55, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Small resolution still does not mean this image is a violation of sculptor Edvard Eriksen's copyright (held by his grandchildren). There is no commercial FOP for non-architecture in Denmark. I would also suggest the admin to lock this file name as it is reused another time. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 18:57, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
