The building was completed in 1951 by Lidiya Stepanova (1899–1962) and С. Д. Юсин (unknown year of birth and death).

Architect Semyon Dmitrievich Yusin (Семён Дмитриевич Юсин) was born in 1922. Death date unknown. According to[1]. But tbh the building doesn't really look it has any creative elements that could be copyrightable. Nakonana (talk) 00:19, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

•   Keep based on discussions in Commons:Village pump/Copyright#No FoP in Belarus (and Ukraine) — but what about mass produced buildings built across all of the Soviet Union?. This is another mass produced building with no real creative elements: from this side it's basically a 5-store rectangle without creative elements. Also the copyright holder is likely not an architect as a person but Mosgorproekt as organisation, making this building in public domain per {{PD-Ukraine}} — NickK (talk) 12:32, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Downfall of regime" isn't really a good PD reason. May be under {{PD-text}} but I'm not sure about things surrounding Arabic. It's a screengrab of a TV broadcast so I don't think {{PD-Syria}} works. reppop^talk 09:01, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This (and probably all the post-1928 films that I've uploaded) should be deleted if the production company doesn't hold the copyright of everything in the film, which, in the face of the precautionary principle, likely should be assumed because the URAA-relevant s:Copyright Law of the People's Republic of China (1990) doesn't make clear who owns the copyright of works made for hire. See the Houston Law Review article "Authorship in China (and Beyond): Authorship and Related Issues Under the Chinese Copyright Law of 1990" and Commons:Deletion requests/File:Te14, 3-1, Xikang-Tibet & Qinghai-Tibet Highway, 1956.jpg.

I uploaded this and other films after reading Commons:Deletion requests/File:The East Is Red (1964).webm, which initially concluded that that film was okay to exist on Commons despite having seperately fixed songs incorporated into it. The 1990 law, however, says that:

The authors of screenplay, musical works and other works that are included in a cinematographic, television or video-graphic work and can be exploited separately shall be entitled to exercise their copyright independently.

which makes sense if we consider the definition of "cinematographic work" and the fact that copyright exists upon fixation, not publication. prospectprospekt (talk) 23:18, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Hi Prospect, and thank you for the due diligence. I am looking forward to this being restored in a few years... very interesting film. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:29, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To be clear, the copyright of the cinematographic work expired 50 years after publication and was not restored by the URAA. If we know beyond a significant doubt that Zheng Zhengqiu wrote the intertitles, his death in 1935 means that those weren't restored as well. The only possibly remaining copyrights come from, among other things, the art and typeface that the intertities have, the clothing and set design, and the list of cast members at the beginning. prospectprospekt (talk) 15:51, 17 December 2024 (UTC) edited 15:55, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

and possibly the parts of the script that are not the intertitles (e. g. the choreography) prospectprospekt (talk) 16:28, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no freedom of panorama in Italy and the photo violates graffiti author's copyright. Taivo (talk) 20:55, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Keep Isn't graffiti freely uploadable anymore? Author is anonymous, and probably wants to stay anonymous since it's non-authorized street art --Sailko (talk) 20:59, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, graffiti isn't freely uploadable. Author is anonymous and anonymous works are copyrightable 70 years from publication. Taivo (talk) 12:12, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It was free before. When is it changed? --Sailko (talk) 12:34, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What happened to COM:GRAFFITI? Nakonana (talk) 19:49, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I feel like it used to say something else than what it is saying right now. The text I remember said something along the lines of graffiti not being copyrightable due to being illegal. Nakonana (talk) 19:53, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes Nakonana, I remember the same. This is why I uploaded many graffiti through the years. --Sailko (talk) 08:39, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Though, there's still the sentence there: "Photographs of graffiti have long been allowed on Commons." Nakonana (talk) 20:09, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no freedom of panorama in Italy and the statue looks modern. That case the photo violates sculptor's copyright. Taivo (talk) 20:59, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This photo was taken by a Xinhua News Agency reporter on August 24, 1973. It is now in the public domain in China, but it has been restored by URAA so it isn't in the public domain in the United States.--铁桶 (Talk) 14:44, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
