File:Dump Trump Buck House face of coal 1836.jpg

Artwork during protests/demonstrations is temporal, cannot benefit from FOP A1Cafel (talk) 02:25, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

  • I was asked for an opinion here. As UK law is more liberal than in other countries in terms of definition, I assume that this is covered by UK:FOP. The contention was that this installation was temporal, not 'permanent'. This work of art/ installations 'lifetime' was that of the demonstration- so legally it was permanent. At the time, the subject of this work, was a very loud American public figure, so his image and derivatives are permitted. In any case, I would suggest this is an inappropriate time to make political deletions. --ClemRutter (talk) 15:23, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
  • @ClemRutter: Describing an installation that was in place for up to a few days as 'permanent' seems perverse. If 'permanent' can mean this then please discuss it at Commons talk:Copyright rules by territory/United Kingdom, and update COM:FOP UK if you can reach a consensus. You may be right that derivatives of Trump's image are permitted, but the sculptor presumably owns the copyright of this sculpture. If FOP does not apply then we require permission from the sculptor.  Delete, this sculpture was not permanently situated in a public place or in premises open to the public, which is required for COM:FOP UK.

  •  Delete I disagree as to permanence in that arguing that a temporary display for a short duration has any resemblance to "permanent", which I would interpret as "for the forseeable future at the time of its first display" is just nonsense in the absence of any binding legal authority.
