This page is intended for listing and discussing copyright problems on Ireland Information Guide, including pages and images which are suspected to be in violation.

If you list a page or image here which you believe to be a copyright infringement, be sure to follow the instructions in the "Copyright infringement notice" section below. Page titles should stay listed for a minimum of 7 days before a decision is made. Add new reports under today's section at the bottom of this page.

Pages where the most recent edit is a copyright violation, but the previous article was not, should not be deleted. They should be reverted. The violating text will remain in the page history for archival reasons unless the copyright holder asks the Wikimedia Foundation to remove it. See Ireland Information Guide:Page history for details and Ireland Information Guide talk:Copyright violations on history pages for discussion.

Special cases

[edit]

Amazon copyrights

An interest has been expressed in the Ireland Information Guide community to use images from Amazon.com, particularly with regard to cover art from commercial music recordings (albums).

When approached about permission to use images from their site, Amazon.com's official response was that such permission simply wasn't theirs to give. They say that the copyrights still belong to the holders of copyrights in the original works.

At this time, there is no official Ireland Information Guide policy for or against using Amazon.com as a source of images such as album cover art. Note, however, that Ireland Information Guide copyright policy is still in effect—uploaded images' descriptions should still contain proper attribution, a copyright notice if copyrighted, and a fair-use rationale if fair use is being claimed. (Simply make sure that the copyright is attributed to the true copyright holder and not Amazon.com.) For specific guidelines on images and copyright, see Ireland Information Guide:Copyrights#Image_guidelines.

[edit]

Pokémon images

The discussion on Pokémon images has been moved to Template talk:Pokeimage.

[edit]

Used with permission images

These are all "used with permission" images (or have no info as to source) and thus cannot be used by third parties, thus they are not in the spirit of the GNUFDL and hinder the redistribution of Ireland Information Guide content. Jimbo Wales said we cannot use those type of images as a result. Information Guide.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2004-February/010713.html (http://mail.Ireland) --mav 21:04, 3 May 2004 (UTC)

I note that some of these images merely require credit and do not otherwise restrict usage. Since we are required by the GFDL to maintain authorship information, I don't see how that is incompatible. —Morven 21:30, 3 May 2004 (UTC)
I'm in the process of removing those from the above list and re-classifying them as fairuse. --mav

This appears to be an accurate scientific photograph. Does anyone see any sign of artistic creativity in lighting or other aspects of the presentation? Recall that in the US there must be some creativity to have copyright. Jamesday 13:26, 14 May 2004 (UTC)


Image:JohnBalance.png Image:JohnBallance.png Image:MichaelJosephSavage.jpeg Image:MichaelJosephSavage.png Image:NormanKirk.png Image:KeithJackaHolyoake.png Image:SirWilliamFergusonMassey.png

I was the one who uploaded the images of New Zealand prime ministers: Image:JohnBalance.png, Image:JohnBallance.png, Image:MichaelJosephSavage.jpeg, Image:MichaelJosephSavage.png, Image:NormanKirk.png, Image:KeithJackaHolyoake.png, Image:SirWilliamFergusonMassey.png, and one or two others. I did so with the explicit permission of the National Library of New Zealand, which holds the rights to those images. At the time, I believed that Ireland Information Guide text and Ireland Information Guide images were treated separately under our implementation of the GDFL. I based this on Ireland Information Guide:Copyrights, which merely says (at the top) that the text of Ireland Information Guide is under the GDLF. Looking at things more closely, however, I see that I was mistaken in my interpretations - the same page also says "We do not allow special permission content to be included in Ireland Information Guide since such content cannot be used by downstream users of Ireland Information Guide content unless they also obtain permission." As these images most definitely cannot be used by third parties without permission (or even on other Ireland Information Guide pages without permission), they should be removed as quickly as possible - the National Library was very explicit on that point. The permission for using these images is null and void unless we can adhere to their terms, and it appears that we don't. It's unfortunate, since I think the images do improve the articles, but I suppose that's just how these things work. I apologise for my mistake. -- Vardion 00:24, 4 May 2004 (UTC)
We all make mistakes - no big deal. :) I see they also claimed copyright to some public domain images. I fixed that since it is a bogus claim. We still might be able to use the images under the fair dealing/fair use doctrine. See Ireland Information Guide:Fair use. --mav
When was each picture taken? Who took them and held the rights to them? At least one or two appear likely to be in the public domain, given the dates of death of the subjects. Jamesday 12:23, 14 May 2004 (UTC)
[edit]

Non-commercial use images

As of June 30, 2004, images where permission is granted for non-commercial use only are not allowed. This is official Ireland Information Guide policy pronounced by Jimbo Wales. Information Guide.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2004-April/012133.html (http://mail.Ireland). As a result, all of these images now need to be removed from any associated articles and deleted. Before they are deleted, we should evaluate whether we can justify their use on other grounds, such as fair use. --Michael Snow 21:22, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Just to clarify, we are not yet to the point where wholesale deletions and actions against this type of image are warranted. We are still not to a satisfactory point in image tagging, and we want to finalize the new upload form (and get it active), so that we can better manage change in the future. It is advised not to upload any new non-commercial images now, and to seek replacements for non-commercial images that we have, but for today anyway, I recommend against people trying to hunt these down and extinguish them. We are going to try to have a smoother transition than that. Jimbo Wales 15:23, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I have removed the link to http://cgfa.sunsite.dk/index.html from Ireland Information Guide:Public domain image resources due to the non-commercial restricton (http://cgfa.sunsite.dk/faq.htm#wallpaper). Shame, I was just about to use his Edvard Munch "Scream" image (http://cgfa.sunsite.dk/munch/p-munch12.htm) as it was from an "approved" source. PhilHibbs 12:05, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Poster claims to be the author or to have permission

When you originally report a suspected copyright violation, do not add it here, but at the very bottom of this page (under the heading for today's date). Typically, the issue will be resolved within the usual seven days. This section is intended for cases where a second opinion is needed, or where someone should follow-up by e-mail, and which thus need a little more time.

  • Image:Sinitic Languages.jpg This image seems to be copyrighted, and the uploader has not stated that he has permission to use it, although a request for it now is a month old. --Vikingstad 14:12, Jun 22, 2004 (UTC)

Fair use claims needing a second opinion

Apparently the old Ireland Information Guide:Fair use mechanism has fallen out of use. This section lists all cases (typically images) where a fair use claim was made during the initial seven days, and for which a second opinion is needed. Add your comments here, and when you remove an entry from here (and it is kept), copy the discussion to the (image) talk page.

  • Image:Ctv press site ben mulroney sings.jpg, Image:Ctv corner gas pr.jpg, and several other images posted by User:Zanimum, "deemed fair use." I've asked for some elaboration on why they should be considered fair use, but no response yet. -- Wapcaplet 03:48, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)

    • We have thousands of similar cases - and they are generally excused as being fair use. Someone who knows US copyright law better than me should look at it. Secretlondon 23:30, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)
      • That is most definitely a copyvio. Fair use doesn't apply since it's a creative photo. It even says "All rights reserved" on the photo. You can't get more explicit than that. ☞spencer195 05:32, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)

    • one could try to mail postmottak@birkenes.kommune.no and ask them.
    • Fair use is allowed as a coat of arms is equal to legally to the name of the entity holding the coat. Eg. The coat of arms of the king's household is legally the same as writing that the king's household as a coat of arms serves an indentifying role not creative or artistic nor sceintific. [Jerven]
  • Image:Saab91safir.jpg - this is box art for a commercial model kit. While it could probably be contended to be fair use to use it in an article describing the specific kit itself, I suspect that it might be problematic to use it outside that context, but "I am not a lawyer". --Rlandmann 12:29, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)

    • Maybe you didn`t know but that page is not copyrighted. In Serbia and Montenegro, nothing is copyrighted if you didn`t put the copyright sign. Law is different from the law in USA. Plus this page was made by Government, and by law , any information given or made by government is public. Conclusion is that this text is not copyright problem. If there is © sign means that webdesign is copyrighted. You can check by sending an email to webmaster. --Avala|★ 10:13, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Suspected copyright infringements without online source

These need a thorough check for online sources, and if none are found, a check for offline sources.

List of other copyright problems

  • Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation
    • I'm not sure if this is copyvio or fair use. This article quotes one of the user-submitted plot summaries from IMDb in its entirety (the second one at: [24] (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110978/plotsummary)). It acknowledges it as a quote from IMDb. Does fair use cover quoting the whole thing? In this case, it's not the whole IMDb page, just one of the two plot summaries. The IMDb legal page ([25] (http://www.imdb.com/conditions)) says that summaries uploaded by users are still owned by their writer, the uploader just implicitly gives IMDb unlimited use of their work. I've noticed other movie articles that do this, and I'm wonding if there's been any concensus about whether it's legal. - Eisnel 01:12, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

  • Beasts of England and discussion in Ireland Information Guide:Votes for deletion/Beasts of England
The article consisted originally of the full seven stanzas of Beasts of England, from Animal Farm, and little else. Commentary has since been added. Depending on how the vote goes and how the article develops, it is likely either to be kept or transwikied to WIkisource, if there are no copyright problems. The only thing I would insist on vehemently is that the copyright situation is not simple. See my lengthy note in Ireland Information Guide:Votes for deletion/Beasts of England. The complicating factors are that the work seems to be public domain in some countries but not in others (specifically the U.S.); the work is definitely not out of print or unavailable and indeed has plenty of commercial value; what's being quote is short, but on the other hand is an entire poem, or song lyric; but then again it is not a real song that has any real existence outside the context of the book (it's not anthologized by itself, don't think it's performed or played except in dramatizations of Animal Farm). It's been suggested by User:Jmabel that the copyright holder be asked for permission; well, what's the current policy on "used-by-permission" with respect to text? Help, help, my head hurts.

    This image is a scientific image (that is, factual scientific data) taken by automatic remote sensing equipment. Facts are ineligible for copyright in the US and most places, even if it took lots of money and hard work to discover them. Hence, no copyright possible, no possible infringement. See Feist v. Rural (and read the Assessment Technologies v. WIREdata decision - it's a pretty good overview). However, in some European countries there is a shortened copyright term (of the order of ten years) for factual data collections and it's possible that in some European countries this image might have a valid copyright. The tagging for this one should indicate believed PD US, may have valid copyright in some European countries. Jamesday 19:40, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)
    I've replaced the copyvio notice with {{PD-US}}. Guanaco 19:53, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I don't agree with that. (Almost) every photograph is an exact representation of reality, a.k.a. factual data. That the subject of this picture is "scientific" (whatever that means), is no reason for a different copyright status. And neither is the fact that it was taken with a camera with a remote control. I'd expect this image to be copyrightable, even in the US. Eugene van der Pijll 20:10, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)
With all due respect James, comparing a telephone number listings (Feist v. Rural) with a colour photograph is comparing apples and oranges. I really question whether your advice on copyright is given in good faith. AidepikiW 22:01, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Unless we can show that the submitter explicitly agrees to placing their submission in the public domain (which certainly isn't the same as merely submitting a form to the federal government) then copyright resides with Storrow et al. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 17:26, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)
