- Keep - This is a photograph I took myself, on April 11, 2003, at 5:20 PM, EST. It stands on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. How is a self-created photo copyrighted? Do you want the full uncropped photo version of the statue, or would you like to travel to Ottawa to see it yourself?Flibirigit (talk)17:05, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Unless it was created prior to 1923 or the creator died more than 50 years ago, the statue is copyrighted. This means that you cannot release a free photograph of it-- seederivative work. Do you have more information about the sculpture that would prove it is free?Calliopejen1 (talk)17:07, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I am no expert in copyright law, but per Canadian copyright law, this does not appear to be a copyvio:[1]
32.2 (1) It is not an infringement of copyright (b) for any person to reproduce, in a painting, drawing, engraving, photograph or cinematographic work (ii) a sculpture or work of artistic craftsmanship or a cast or model of a sculpture or work of artistic craftsmanship,that is permanently situated in a public place or building;
Given that this statue is in a public place, my interpretation of this is that this is not a copyright violation. FWIW, the statue was placed in 1977:[2].Resolute17:28, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
