Converted by me to DR, as it should be discussed whether this monument is copyrightable in Korea. If yes, then permission or deletion. -- Túrelio (talk) 13:29, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

I shot this photo by my own camera by myself, and upload it by my self as license as Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported. I can't believe why this photo is requested speed delete. You can see my description note. This photo is necessary to explain Korean geography. -- Jjw (talk) 12:08, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

ADD: The license of this photo has not any problem in Republic of Korea (South) -- Jjw (talk) 12:16, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

ADD2: According to COM:FOP#Korea (South), the copyright about FOP bind to "artistic work", but not memorial land marker such as this. If someone argue that this memorial marker is artistic, commons may delete all photo about geographic marker.-- Jjw (talk) 14:46, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

Jjw, nobody doubts that you shot the photo. The question is whether the memorial, i.e. the stone construction as well as the text on it, are legally considered a work of art resp. copyrighted by Korea's copyright law and jurisprudence. In most countries this would be the case. Please see also this report. Please remember that images uploaded to Commons are required to be free also for commercial use (COM:L). --Túrelio (talk) 08:24, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

The text on that monument is still protected by copyright in South Korea.

File:Nespressso Machine.jpg

This file was initially tagged by Komarof as no permission (No permission since) Krd 06:21, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

Hello! Please explain why did you propose this image for deletion. I personally took photo of this machine at the campus of my university. @Komarof Verbal.noun (talk) 08:58, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

Verbal.noun, 1. no one here knows or can know that Author: Stanislav Wald has anything common with user:Verbal.noun. When users upload their own photo, they typically use the {{Own}} template. Further, in case you are Stanislav Wald, how did it happen then that File:Day picture of the shoreline at Cabo de Roca.jpg had a name Anvar Valeyev listed in description and two other names were listed in files that were already deleted? 2. What does it mean: permission for distribution was granted by owner? Distribution of what? Owner of what? 3. The image should be used solely to complement the wikipedia article about Nespresso: This restriction contradicts Commons:Licensing#Acceptable_licenses. Komarof (talk) 16:54, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

@Komarof As I see, both images uploaded on the same year when user even registered account, the "permission notes" and differend names might be considered as a mistakes by newbies.

For File:Day picture of the shoreline at Cabo de Roca.jpg should be VRT permission.

For File:Nespressso Machine.jpg situation is differend - this file has metadata, so it means what this photo very likely was created by user who uploaded it there, as he said above. SomeFancyUsername (talk) 18:27, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

File:Tulku Hungkar Dorje in 2018.png

I don't think that the YouTube channel owner is the one who took this image. It's very low-res even in the source video and I can find it in multiple places. The channel itself uploads things like entire anime episodes and other low-res images of people with music playing over it. Nothing suggests that the channel owner is traveling and meeting these people to get their images. HurricaneZeta^C 14:43, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

The YouTube channel has ceased its activity several years ago. Its name, is Vietnamien, "Bồ Đề Tâm Vương", which means in English "Bodhi Mind King" or "King of Bodhicitta". This name can be find on the youtube original photo from which this file was extracted. This suggest that Bồ Đề Tâm Vương is the author of this photo dated 2018. I have not find any copy of this photo taken before this date, therefore, this indicate that this (or the current file) is the source of all the photo found with this same image but published later. Rédacteur Tibet (talk) 16:32, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

It could have been taken from somewhere offline or a site that is no longer live or hasn't been indexed. Low-res shots like this are a sign of that. I don't see anything in the channel's uploads that says they're taking these images; it would be much more organic if it were their own work. HurricaneZeta^C 16:38, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

While FOP exists in Germany and it might cover murals, however this appears to be a derivative of a copyrighted photograph of the subject, which the painter is not able to "release".

--Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 17:17, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

I think there should be enough abstraction between the original image and the painting. --GPSLeo (talk) 18:42, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

I agree with GPSLeo. लोकाः समस्ताः सुखिनो भवन्तु (talk) 20:06, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Just out of curiosity: What would be the issue if there weren't? FOP in Germany appears to cover murals, but I could not find legal evidence that one has to verify the originality of the photographed works. The original painter did not "release" their derivative work; the main issue IMO is whether this even matters at all and whom the rights holder would be able to raise claims against at all. --stk (talk) 16:40, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

Keep FOP covers this photo no matter how the copyright status of the graffiti itself might be. // Martin K. (talk) 16:18, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
- No! FOP, or freedom of panorama as it is called, is the right to photograph copyrighted works without the 2D-photograph infringing on the underlying artwork you've photographed. If the artwork however is a copyright infringement, so does the 2D-photograph become. You can't make a Micke Mouse sculpture and place it in the public and therby be allowed to upload photos of it, since only Disney is allowed to place their work in public. --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 17:02, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
  - Is this really the case? Is this an issue the person invoking FOP has to check and verify, or is this a problem the graffito artist has with the original rights holder? I have been digging for leading cases regarding this and haven't found anything so far. --stk (talk) 17:17, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
    - In order to permanently place an artwork in to "the public" they need to have the legal authority and ability to do so. If you do not own the copyright of the artwork, you can't legally place it in the public without that being a copyright infringement. FOP states that a photo of a copyrighted object in public does not infringe n the artist copyright, however, if the artist doesn't hold the copyright, then...FOP can't be invoked. --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 17:51, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
    - If a copyright holder places a work permanently in public, then it "limit the right of the copyright owner to take action for breach of copyright against the creators and distributors of such images. It is an exception to the normal rule that the copyright owner has the exclusive right to authorize the creation and distribution of derivative works." If the copyright owner of the picture was not the one who placed the artwork in the public, then it hasn't "given away" their rights. --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 17:56, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
      - I would totally see this argument if the artwork in case were the original artwork that is supposedly being infringed upon. This is, however, definitely not the case. The argument seems to hinge around the question whether the depicted graffito is a derivative works of its own according to § 24 Abs. 1 UrhG. If it is, it is in and of itself a protected work that does not need permission by the rights holder of the work from which it was derived. The way it is contextualized with a political slogan, as well as the production style with (possibly) a distinctive style of spraypainting by the artist can each be arguments for the graffito to be covered by at least the same umbrella of copyright legislation as the selfie that the work was based upon. Just out of curiosity: Are there precedents where the Wiki Commons community starts trying to preemptively delete images of works of art because they suspected them to be copyright infringement themselves? --stk (talk)
        We delete on a precautionary principle (COM:PCP) since we only want free work we are sure are ok. --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 20:00, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
        As in my contribution above, I would totally see this argument if the artwork in case were the original photograph. This is still not the case. There is ample evidence that the graffito constitutes a work of its own, that, in turn, falls unter FOP. --stk (talk) 20:24, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
        
        Addendum: If you still believe that this graffito cannot constitute a Freie Benutzung according to § 24 UrhG and therefore a original work, would you mind going ahead and also mark the photographs of the Brezhnev/Honecker mural for deletion? It is also based on a protected photograph (Corbis currently holds the rights to it) and is painted on a wall in Berlin. --stk (talk) 17:27, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Keep: People's appearance is not copyrighted. The graffiti is based on a photograph but only based on the appearance of George Floyd. --I Mertex I (talk) 22:30, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

Mural is a COM:Derivative work of this copyrighted photo

– Howardcorn33 (💬) 16:38, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

Oh, I just noticed the photos were already nominated for deletion above.

Nevertheless, I disagree with the decision of the non-admin closer as the photo is a clear derivative of the original photo, regardless of FoP. More recent deletion nominations (here and here) has upheld that German FoP does not apply if image is a derivative of a copyighted work. I would thus like a second person to re-review the copyright status of these files. – Howardcorn33 (💬) 16:45, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

Possible copyright violations by someone who puts something at a place where it is covered by FOP are only a problem who does this. You can not demand from a photographer to ensure that the photographed work was put into the public with permission from the author. This would also eliminate the FOP for buildings if they got changed without the permission from the architect. GPSLeo (talk) 17:38, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

I am not denying FOP entirely here, only when the public artwork being pictured is itself an unauthorized derivative of a copyrighted work. The nominations I linked above ultimately concluded that such images were not permissible even under German FoP. – Howardcorn33 (💬) 18:44, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

If the law would give an obligation to check the legitimacy of the subject to the photographer, this would be a de facto end of FOP. It is not possible to check if there was permission to display something in the public and make FOP apply to it. GPSLeo (talk) 19:33, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

FOP is not a general permission granted to photographers; it is merely an exception that prevents a photo of a publicly visible copyrighted work from infringing the original artist's rights. That exception can coexist with the public artwork itself being an unauthorized derivative (and therefore infringing), and we should stop and ask ourself if we truly should (or want) to host files that are not truly free simply because a legal loophole allows it. Otherwise, let's reproduce all copyrighted images out there in Germany. I truly believe this contradicts our mission as champions of free media, ever if we are "allowed" to do so. --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 19:42, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

KEEP – huge time sink. The cropped image is much cleaner, which is usually why crops happen. I'm pretty busy with more important things to do, as I'm sure others are as well, and hope this AfD goes away...far away...and never resurfaces. ^Atsme _Talk 📧 17:42, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

Claim "own work" on a very old monochrome photo (though person depicted was born in 1934, so not old enough to automatically be public domain). No information about failure by publisher to provide notice or non-renewal. EnjoyLightEnjoyTruth (talk) 17:26, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

Copyrighted modern artwork; no freedom of panorama in the United States

Pi.1415926535 (talk) 18:41, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

It looks like this was a lot newer than I thought when I photographed it - 2009 rather than ~50 years ago. So it doesn't fall under the FOP exeptions for older images that I presumed it would. I've emailed the creators of the sculpture to ask if they would be willing to provide a copyright release here. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 21:54, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
