Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files/2009 December 30

The following discussion is an archived inquiry of the possible unfree image below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the media's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was: Deleted. I am reading this as sufficiently in doubt that we cannot rely on the PD tag. The image was taken by professional photographer "Dave Tevis" apparently as a work-for-hire. What we need is a permissions email for this to confirm that this fine image is truly released by the copright holder (Either Tevis or the University) - I will drop a note on the related user talk pages - Peripitus (Talk) 21:00, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Why PD? Where is the image taken from exactly? It doesn’t help anyone when we delete a file on Commons for being unsourced and it is uploaded to en.wikipedia.org again (to be transfered to - commons without source - later). Polarlys (talk) 00:12, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The image was taken by a photographer employed by Arizona State University, first publication was in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences News Magazine in 2005. We really wanted to call it Fair Use, as that is the most appropriate category for this image--taken by a state government agency, published in a state government magazine, reused many times on state goverment web site; used here to illustrate the visage of a living person.

The Wikimedia upload page had a category for Fair Use at the time of upload. The Wikipedia English upload did not appear to offer this option, so as employees of Arizona State University (in Professor Hölldobler's department) we chose PD as the closest fit. We would greatly appreciate your advice on how to best categorize this type of image. Thanks. --Shapwolf (talk) 18:14, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. Went looking and found WP:FU. So one has to tag it with non-commercial, then write the fair-use rationale? Is the uploader purposely obtruse on this subject as this usage is not favored? We'll either follow this or just shoot another picture of Bert. --Shapwolf (talk) 20:39, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• This picture shows the Fingask Castle Subscription Mural. This is permanently on display but freedom of panorama here does not extend to 2d artworks (see commons:Commons:Freedom of Panorama#United Kingdom) so that this is a derivative work and cannot be released as a free image by the photographer. Angus McLellan (Talk) 11:21, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Unfortunate but true. On the other hand, the image would be perfectly acceptable fair use if used in a part of the article discussing this image itself. One issue here is that it is not made exactly clear what the image is - it is clearly not the main Fingask Castle Subscription Mural by Ivan Govorkov and Lena Gubanova. Rather this appears to be another image, by R. de Salis. The question is whether this image has artistic significance, and so whether or not it merits discussion in the article.

The result of the discussion was: Delete - I am not convinced that this image is free. Though it is stated below that this is a publicity shot, it may also be one of the press images (from United Press International) that Bettmann acquired in 1990. Without a more direct source and some attribution information it is a stretch to claim that this unknown-date unknown-photographer image has a known copyright state - Peripitus (Talk) 21:39, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• no evidence that the press photo's copyright was not renewed. Kostelca (talk) 17:21, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proof of a copyright renewal must be published and a search has not shown any copyright or renewal was ever filed. In general, publicity photos by movie studios were not copyrighted as they were intended for publicity, not art to be sold, and were given out freely for publication. --Wikiwatcher1 (talk) 19:25, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is a typical publicity photo, and as stated by film production expert Eve Light Honathaner in The Complete Film Production Handbook, (Focal Press, 2001 p. 211.):

Publicity photos . . . have traditionally not been copyrighted. Since they are disseminated to the public, they are generally considered public domain, and therefore clearance by the studio that produced them is not necessary. --Wikiwatcher1 (talk) 20:06, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
