File:Berlin en 1947 (6328971517).jpg[edit]

I'm pretty sure Flickr user Jean-Pierre Dalbéra from Paris, France did not take this 1947 aerial photo of destroyed Berlin himself and was not authorized to release it under a free CC license.

So the question is, who is the author of this photo? If it is a military photo by either US or UK forces, it might be in the public domain. If this is a photo by someone else however, it could still be protected in either its source country (Germany? The UK?) or the USA (because of the URAA), or both.

So the file should be deleted per the precautionary principle unless we get a satisfactionary rationale why the photo is in the PD or freely licensed. The photo could then be restored in 2068 with {{PD-old-assumed}}. Rosenzweig τ 15:25, 15 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Seems to be part of a video that was originally published (here (archive URL) Unfortunately, the video can't be seen (requires flash). The source specified is Les Actualités Françaises - 10/08/1945 - 01min58s, so probably some sort of news magazine. But they certainly didn't take the video themselves either, the only thing that could eventually work is PD-anon. Hier ist das Video übrigens jetzt. --PaterMcFly (talk) 20:27, 15 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
 Comment This is certainly in the public domain in Europe (either PD-France or PD-UK-unknown), but copyright status in USA is uncertain (PD there at least in 2043). Yann (talk) 20:56, 15 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I did not see this aerial photo anywhere in that 1945 news report. So I don't think it is part of that video. --Rosenzweig τ 02:56, 16 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Yes, indeed. I didn't have time to watch it yesterday. This one is closer, but I still can't find that exact picture in there. Probably doesn't change much though, since the US copyright is probably the main problem here (I don't really understand those URAA rules, though. They make absolutely no sense) --PaterMcFly (talk) 07:54, 16 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It seems as though this is a clear case of 462 uses of a COM:bad source. In this case however, the uploader is in fact the copyright holder. The uploading process on Mynewsdesk.com is however evidently not transparent enough that the uploaders actually understand that they are waving all commercial rights to their works. To take their waving of rights sincerely we need to make sure they understand what they are doing, which they clearly aren't.

There are a bunch of discussions regarding Mynewsdesk as a source of which Commons:Village pump/Archive/2016/02#Huge problem with copyright on Mynewsdesk probably is the best. Quote from Gunnex from that discussion who made an account themself on the site: There is no indication that — choosing "Creative Commons Attribution" — the work may be used/explored by others commercially. And I don't understand why they (mynewsdesk.com) have chosen a CC-BY-SA license as default setting: that could well be overlooked by the image posters --> normally, posting on similar public relations portals like http://www.openpr.de/, you do not expect this.

See also Special:Diff/78029466 by Fastily.

Lastly, I guess the following line from the Swedish law book is also applicable (https://lagen.nu/1915:218#P36S1): 36 §  Avtalsvillkor får jämkas eller lämnas utan avseende, om villkoret är oskäligt med hänsyn till avtalets innehåll, omständigheterna vid avtalets tillkomst, senare inträffade förhållanden och omständigheterna i övrigt. Har villkoret sådan betydelse för avtalet att det icke skäligen kan krävas att detta i övrigt skall gälla med oförändrat innehåll, får avtalet jämkas även i annat hänseende eller i sin helhet lämnas utan avseende.

Google translate: Contract terms may be adjusted or left without regard, if the condition is unreasonable with regard to the content of the agreement, the circumstances at the time of the agreement's creation, later circumstances and the circumstances in general. If the condition is of such importance to the agreement that it cannot reasonably be required that this otherwise apply with unchanged content, the agreement may also be adjusted in other respects or be left without regard in its entirety.

To summarize: It is indisputable that these files were posted by ATG to Mynewsdesk.com with a CC license. It is also clear that a CC license is irrevocable. Since the CC license was/is(?) the default license at the site however, it is clear that the uploader didn't realize what they were doing, hence per Swedish law, the license is not valid without OTRS proof from ATG or the respective copyright holders.

      • If we don't know who took the picture, then we don't know whether they are public domain. This image was posted the same day on the Facebook page for Gavin Newsome. Was it taken by a staffer for Pelosi, a staffer for Newsome, an employee of the Democratic party (not a government employee at all) or any other person present at the governor's association conference taking place at the time? If the photographer was actually associated with either Pelosi or Newsome, were they a paid employee or were they an unpaid intern? Unpaid interns are not employees and their works are not public domain. Unless we know who took the picture we have no way of knowing whether the image is public domain.
Pelosi (or more likely some intern or low-level staffer) has apparently posted hundreds (thousands?) of images on her twitter account, and there is no guarantee that she understands copyright law, or has thoroughly inspected the nature of the image with regard to it's copyright status. Government websites and social media accounts regularly post content either under fair use, or (like 90% of people on the internet) without regard to copyright whatsoever. Because of that merely appearing in one of these outlets is not sufficient to determine the copyright status of the work. GMGtalk 13:59, 17 September 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Unpaid interns working for Congress should fall under PD-USGov. It's still a work for hire, paid or not, I'm pretty sure -- it is part of duties ordered by the employer. I think my best look at that question is here, where agency law still applies to volunteers. (I think Congress is about to make sure that interns get paid going forward, anyways.) All of these photos are of people visiting Washington, where the Congressional staffers are most likely to be present. People operating official Twitter accounts for senators or representatives should have a reasonably clear idea of copyright. It would make sense that such a photo would be supplied to the visiting California governor (and would be PD-CAGov if taken by his staffers anyways). Yes, it's always theoretically possible that someone else took such a photo, but those do not seem to be reasonable doubts, and the usual assumption by publishing on official government sites is that such works are treated as PD-USGov even if it was not technically that way prior. I would certainly treat elements being published on official Twitter accounts the same thing as being published on their governmental website. If there is a strong indication that a particular photo was taken by someone else, please nominate that one individually. Carl Lindberg (talk) 15:35, 17 September 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
As to volunteers, Community for Creative Non-Violence specifically examining copyright, stated that among the reasons Reid was not considered an employee (and retained the copyright to his work) was because the organization did not pay his payroll taxes, provide any benefits, or contribute to unemployment insurance, and in fact, the court simply presumed method of payment as one of the essential determining factors in defining employment (not whether he was paid, but how he was paid).
Regardless, the onus is not on me to provide a strong indication that it was taken by someone else; the onus is on the uploader to demonstrate the content is in the public domain. Whether it was published on this Twitter account simply has no bearing on US copyright law any more than the person depicted does. The only thing US copyright law cares about it who created the work. If someone wants to demonstrate that this image is public domain, then they should email Pelosi's office and ask who the creator was. Otherwise, the only way we keep it is by simply throwing COM:PCP out the window. GMGtalk 16:18, 17 September 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
That specific court case says that agency law determines "employee", and Reid was determined to be an independent contractor instead of employee by that definition. Agency law however says that:
(a) an employee is an agent whose principal controls or has the right to control the manner and means of the agent's performance of work, and
(b) the fact that work is performed gratuitously does not relieve a principal of liability.
So it is not the lack of payment that determines employee, but other conditions. The court case primarily said, Reid engages in a skilled occupation; supplied his own tools; worked in Baltimore without daily supervision from Washington; was retained for a relatively short period of time; had absolute freedom to decide when and how long to work in order to meet his deadline; and had total discretion in hiring and paying assistants. In other words, it depends on how much control the employer has over them; it is a distinction between "employee" and "independent contractor". Congressional interns are not independent contractors, as the employer has as much control over their activities as paid employees. Reid was paid, but in the manner of a contractor, not employee.
COM:PCP is for *signficant* doubts, not just theoretical possibilities. These do not qualify, in my opinion. We allow claims of "own work" all the time, even though those are similarly not proven. For a DR, someone needs to supply a significant doubt. Carl Lindberg (talk) 16:40, 17 September 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The significant doubt is that we do not know who the author is and we regularly delete modern works where the author is unknown. Posting on the twitter account merely tells us who the author might be and who might be able to tell us. GMGtalk 16:48, 17 September 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Sorry, just completely disagree. Stuff posted to congressional websites is presumed to be PD-USGov all the time. We do not need to identify the photographer's name in every case. For works where we don't even know the source of initial publication, absolutely unknown authors create significant doubts. Not the case here. Where we do know the place of initial publication, and no author is named, that is then "anonymous" and different laws can apply which we then use. For PD-USGov, the distinction is irrelevant. If it's overwhelmingly likely to be done by a staffer (paid or otherwise), that is generally enough. Carl Lindberg (talk) 16:59, 17 September 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
"Nobody knows who the copyright owner is, so it really doesn’t matter." GMGtalk 17:14, 17 September 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
That part of PCP is for a completely different situation than this. Again, that policy is for significant doubts as to copyright status. We don't require the actual employee name on every PD-USGov upload we have -- by your logic we should delete them if we don't. We don't require that "own work" uploads identify who they are -- user accounts are just as anonymous, and the "own work" claim is assumed there. If further information comes up -- such as the existence of an "own work" photo elsewhere on the net (and especially with a differently-named author), or (in this case) the appearance of the photo elsewhere which would indicate it was not PD-USGov, then we nominate then. But we have to make some assumptions on nearly every upload. Stuff like this is far more likely to be OK than an "own work" upload, and at that point it's not worth forcing uploader to come up with unreasonable detail. Carl Lindberg (talk) 17:43, 17 September 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
As a matter of course, yes, content tagged as PD-USGov needs to have sufficient information about authorship to determine that it was the work of a US government employee. Ideally, that is done like this (U.S. Navy photo by Erik Hildebrandt/Released) or this (Image credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA) or this (Air Force Staff Sgt. Jordan Castelan). If you don't have this information then you do not know the copyright status of the work and merely taking it from a government website is not a guarantee of authorship. GMGtalk 18:25, 17 September 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Keep for me. The official Twitter accounts are generally done by staff, i.e. employees of the government. The photos in question above look to be of the type made by staffers. A claim of "Nancy Pelosi" of author is really just claiming it came from her staff, realistically. While it's theoretically possible for these to be photos taken from outside sources, I don't think that rises to a reasonable doubt per COM:PRP at least for the ones above. We would not have any issue if they were published to a .gov website, and I don't see why official Flickr accounts would have a different assumption.

I second Carl Lindberg's points. These five photos were taken with phones by someone that is most probably the staff. A challenge is possible only if for example it is shown to be (almost) identical to a non-staff person's photo. Or for example https://twitter.com/SpeakerPelosi/status/1159919184127692800 is obviously not a work of Pelosi's staff.--Roy17 (talk) 20:28, 26 September 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@A1Cafel: May you explain what {{PD-India}} has to do with British pictures? --Patrick Rogel (talk) 15:25, 4 November 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
There were a bunch of photographers standing around making photos of that scene. So each different photo can have its own copyright status, depending on where it was first published (probably which company the photographer worked for) and the like. Some of those may have been first published in India (or some other country who had correspondents there taking pictures), and some may have been simultaneously published in many countries. So, we need to track down sources, and unfortunately some of these are all over the net. Many are probably PD today, but some are probably not.
The first one above can be found here, with a credit of "J Gaiger" of the Topical Press Agency, whose archives were bought by Getty. That looks like a raw source version. So, probably first published in the UK, and with a named author it's not PD-UK-unknown meaning we would need to know the death date. That was discussed a decade ago at Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Gandhi Downing Street.jpg and was deleted due to lack of information. Maybe we could find more info now, but it would seem as though Getty would indeed hold the copyright if it still exists, and it's not just a PD picture that Getty is claiming ownership of (which does happen).
The second one, yes it's on Getty here. They claim a source of "Daily Herald Archive/SSPL". There is another copy here with a claimed copyright owner of "Camera Press". It's been on covers of books too. There is an SSPL source here, where they say the source is a gelatin print. So they are likely claiming copyright ownership because they own a print that was distributed in 1931. If anything, they can only claim copyrights on that particular scan, and probably valid in the UK at most (if even there). But, not sure who the source of the original print was. If it was anonymous UK, then it's PD-UK-unknown today. If it was also simultaneously published in the U.S., it would avoid the URAA as well (if not, it would be Not-PD-US-URAA until 2027). Sure feels like most of the world is treating it as PD, but not sure we know the true source either. Carl Lindberg (talk) 22:28, 4 November 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]

where does it say that the twitter account is also covered by OGL?

RZuo (talk) 20:25, 20 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Keep UK government Twitter channels become archived at the end of the year at nationalarchives.gov.uk, when they become explicitly OGL3. See webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk for this one. You could argue that the link to to the number10.gov.uk website on the Twitter author page, which website also explicitly has the OGL 3.0 license, is enough. Carl Lindberg (talk) 21:04, 20 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
ok. users should specify that the video became ogl by way of being included in the archives like https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/twitter/10DowningStreet/post/bd72bc8e-963d-11ec-b845-62848c3126f2/video , though. i dont agree that the licence on another website can be interpreted as covering twitter, unless someone can find ogl websites in which twitter posts are somehow embedded. RZuo (talk) 10:28, 21 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Quite possibly not, though you know the contents will definitely become OGL at the end of the year, so it's arguing over technicalities and timing. If the same content is on the website then it's definitely fine, but unsure if it was on the website when uploaded. It would be helpful if they mentioned a licensing statement on the Twitter author page, for sure. Carl Lindberg (talk) 13:48, 21 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
 Question Are we sure the music in the background is freely licensed? I agree that it would appear to be under the OGL, but I don't think the U.K. government can extinguish the copyright of a music recording just by placing an excerpt in a video that they then post to social media. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 01:01, 23 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
you're right. it seems to be the first 40s of "Music Of Filmmaker - My Lord - Song by Yarin Primak" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjQOI_2Anfs . i didnt watch the video beyond a few seconds initially.
difficult to isolate and remove the music. muting it renders the video useless.  Delete.

No FOP in South Africa.

Edelseider (talk) 09:52, 26 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Comment I hate giving an answer to this because I am against deleting South African images on Commons for FOP reasons as the law in South Africa is in the process of changing to include a FOP copyright exception. If I had to give an answer it would be... maybe, bridges might (but if so then perhaps not always) also exceed COM:TOO. I have a vague recollection of photographs of South African bridges on Commons having being deleted in the past. That's why copyright exceptions tend to use the term "public works" dropping the term "art" or some other word that might imply creativity so as to be as broad as possible. Also because the law recognizes that it is not a good judge of what is "art" or not but instead tries to use tests for novelty in patents and creativity (or "sweat of the brow" intellectual work that does not plagiarize) for copyright. However, it must be noted that many bridges, it can be convincingly argued, are effectively simple objects consisting of geometric shapes. In this interpretation bridges that do not have a decorative facade would not be copyrightable but ones with such a facade would be. The same would be true of buildings. I can get a legal opinion on this later this week as I am no IP law scholar. Then I can give a better answer. Either way I can see this falling into a gray area.--Discott (talk) 14:26, 2 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Now if it *is* the same photo and the sculptor made the conscious decision to make the hair different, then that was a creative choice and by definition, that would mean a new copyright. holly {chat} 21:32, 22 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    I understand the double copyright, but the new Ukrainian copyright law added a limited freedom of panorama for cases when reproductions have no independent economic significance (note that this is not the same wording as commercial value, unfortunately so far no legal expert explained this norm nor it was yet applied in the court in either way). So the only thing we can do is our own interpretation and comparison with EU countries (which inspired this law), and in this case the 2D reproduction is supposed to exactly result in the original work (which is a public domain photo), essentially being the exact case of no independent economic significance. Now there is indeed something strange going on with the hair, Konovalets never had such a haircut, so probably a problem reproducing the photo in the pre-Internet era. I don't think it creates anything of independent economic significance though, it looks more like a mistake than a conscious choice — NickK (talk) 22:23, 22 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    @NickK I think the condition on Ukrainian FoP is not a de minimis condition but a clear condition that images should not be licensed under Wikimedia-required licenses that mandate commercial or for-profit reuses (CC-BY, CC-BY-SA, CC-zero, and/or PD). Also, the claims of Ukrainian legislature that their 2022 amendments are inspired from the EU laws are not entirely accurate: the EU directive does not mandate non-commercial condition (but also does not require commercial condition) (see Clindberg's input at Commons:Village pump/Copyright/Archive/2023/05#NEW copyright law of Ukraine). The WIPO now has an English copy of the updated law, and that copy uses "value" instead of "significance", so much closer to prohibition of distribution and sharing of images under lucrative Creative Commons licenses than a test on de minimis.

Pas de copyright sur Commons. Autorisation de Lauren Ransan nécessaire, voir Commons:OTRS/fr

Shev123 (talk) 15:34, 29 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Mussklprozz: I have a few questions. The uncertainty on the description page of this file (and of the other files) is that User:Jean-Mowak claims to be the photographer (in the author and source fields) and to be the copyright owner (in the «self» template with the license) and at the same time says also that the copyright owner is Lauren Ransan (in the description field), whose authorship is also sort of implied in the titles. The conclusion seems to be that User:Jean-Mowak is Lauren Ransan. (Or the uploader could have made a mistake.) I see that you did not change anything to the information in the description page of this file. Does that mean that you are confirming that the information on the description page describes the reality accurately, i.e. that User:Jean-Mowak is Lauren Ransan? The use of both names will cause some confusion for the reusers. Which name are they required to credit? The author field seems to require attribution to "Jean-Mowak", but the description field seems to require attribution to Lauren Ransan. Does the ticket specify to which of those two names the attribution must be given? Is the copyright owner sending the permissions for one file at a time only? If so, it seems somewhat inefficient, given that the situation is the same for all the files. If this ticket confirms that the uploader User:Jean-Mowak is Lauren Ransan, she will still remain the same person and it would not seem necessary to send emails for the other files, as she is uploading her own photos. -- Asclepias (talk) 22:55, 30 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Asclepias Thanks for your hint. The permission came from Lauren Ransan. I missed to change the authorship i the fiel description. Sorry for that. I have now made up for this. Mussklprozz (talk) 07:24, 31 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you for the link. See also the user talk page on Commons. -- Asclepias (talk) 16:47, 31 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Asclepias, @Géodigital: To be honest, I do not know how fr-WP deals with such statements. In de-WP, the user needs to verify themselves by an email to de-VRT. They then get a verification tag on their user page by the de-VRT agent. – I think be putting the photographer's name in the author field of the file description, we are on the safe side anyway. Mussklprozz (talk) 06:49, 1 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Mussklprozz: The talk pages are indications (coming from the account), but they're not a verification (coming from the author through a different way). The verification we need for Commons is the same as what you said about de.wp. (Or, alternatively, a mention of the Wikimedia account on the author's official website could do.) That was my question above. Does at least one of the emails already sent to VRT by the author Lauren Ransan include or not the information that the Wikimedia account Jean-Mowak is her account? If yes, then you can place the note on her user page and from now on she can merrily upload her own works with that account as much as she wishes without further verification. And then it also means that she can write any name or pseudonym she wants in the author field. But if her emails do not yet include that simple information, maybe you can send an email to her and explain that situation to her? Because if she sends emails only about photos, without mentioning the account identity, she will have to do it for all her new uploads and it will be a waste of effort both for her and for you. -- Asclepias (talk) 13:10, 1 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This is not a photograph, it is a scan of a newspaper published in 1994 in Argentina. The copyright for corporate works is 50 years after publication, thus it would be still protected in Argentina. Regardless of this, it is also protected by US copyright (US joined Berne convention in 1989) where corporate copyright lasts for 95 years after publication.

File:RezaNasirani.jpg[edit]

Possible license laundering, the account was created today and it is uploading files previously deleted. One of the photos is a selfie but claims to be "My shot from reza nasirani"[4]. Günther Frager (talk) 20:46, 30 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The mistake was corrected and it was replaced with a selfie instead of taking a picture, and it was corrected in the description section. Amcocain (talk) 21:03, 30 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
A couple of points:
  • You corrected a file that is not a selfie.
  • A selfie from Reza Nasirani can only be taken by Reza Nasirani.
  • This photo happens to be the TikTok profile of the guy [5]
  • Reza Nasirani is not a director, he is a random TikToker, thus the photo is a personal photo, not allowed in Commons.
Also, you are not addressing the issue of "files previously deleted" (hint: they were uploaded before you created your account). Günther Frager (talk) 21:22, 30 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Delete No evidence of permission from the copyright holder for a work previously published elsewhere online. The Flickr account attributes the photograph to someone who does not share a name with the Flickr account holder, so the alleged permission on Flickr appears to be COM:Flickrwashing, and that account should be blacklisted. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 02:36, 8 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi @Holly Cheng, please see that. Madamebiblio (talk) 19:28, 17 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Madamebiblio: That doesn't really seem related because this file was uploaded in 2007, long before the user began using sockpuppets. NOTE: I mistyped the domain name earlier and http://www.izcallibur.com/ does exist. It looks very much to be a personal site, so I think it's still very likely that this user first posted this photo to his own site and then uploaded it here. If you can prove that they stole it from somewhere else, then I'm happy to delete it as a copyvio. holly {chat} 22:00, 17 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

File:Oriana Fallaci 2.jpg[edit]

The source is the Italian Wikipedia where it states "This file cannot be moved to Wikimedia Commons!". Apart from that there is no evidence the photo was created prior to 1976 (required to avoid US restoration). The only information available is that it was published in 1979. Thus, we should delete this image and move the image from the Italian wikipedia if applicable. Günther Frager (talk) 22:32, 30 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Comment I didn't read carefully the Italian text. It says it cannot be moved to Wikimedia due to technical reasons. It however states it should only done if it is in the PD domain in the US. This as commented before it is not clear. It was published in 1979, but there is no evidence it was taken before 1976. Günther Frager (talk) 22:41, 30 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

File:House Flag of the China Merchants Group (Since 1984).svg[edit]

The file is the flag of the China Merchants Group as used since 1984, which contains a stylized "M" surrounded by a "C". Per COM:TOO China, the Chinese threshold of originality is rather low. As the "M" character was distinctly stylized, it is likely that the character is copyrightable in China (just think about the example where a combination of 2 simple characters leads to a copyrightable trademark). Without free permission, the file will be therefore copyrighted and unfree. 廣九直通車 (talk) 08:10, 31 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

File:Coat of arms of the Mosquito Monarchy.svg[edit]

Three files in total:

This appears to be fan-art. I traced it back to https://www.royalark.net/Nicaragua/mosquito2.htm (Christopher Buyers) I wrote Damian Clavel, whether it was real or imaginary and he wrote: "I do not know if this is a real coat-of-arms for the Mosquito monarchy. For the period I'm studying (early 19th-century), I know that Miskitu kings had designed their own flag, but I've never yet found a coat of arms." The other published author that could be consulted died in 2016. I wrote Christopher Buyers, but no response. As a decoration for the article, it looks fine, but I worry that it will be seen as authoritative and copied by others, not knowing the provenance. It is currently displayed in over a dozen articles.
