I very much doubt that this image is free. The extremely poor resolution and convex curvative of the image strongly suggest a low-quality screenshot from (copyrighted) television coverage. The same goes for the uncropped version. — Savidan 04:45, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Summary contradicts license tag. Fritz S. (Talk) 15:45, 7 August 2007 (UTC)


 * As stated in the summary, this photograph is in the public domain. It was taken in 1934 at the subject's paid request, and hence copyright belonged to the subject. The subject died on June 11, 1936. Under copyright law this photo had an initial copyright of 28 years, and copyright had to be renewed for copyright to remain in effect. The copyright term ran out in 1962 with no renewal being made by any party, thus releasing this photo in the public domain. Later laws extended the term of copyright from 28 years to 47 years, 75 years, and longer, but only for those items still under copyright protection at the time the laws were passed. As this photo had long been in the public domain when the first of these laws took effect in 1978, the new laws do not apply, and it is in the public domain.


 * Hence, please refrain from deleting the photo. Thank you. Leo Grin 08:25, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Not to split hairs, but wouldn't the duration of the copyright be measured from the death of the photographer, even if the copyright belonged to someone else? -- But | seriously | folks   04:16, 24 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Image kept. If the copyright was not renewed the date of death of photographer is irrelevant. -Nv8200p talk 20:58, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

"All rights reserved" according to watermark. Fritz S. (Talk) 16:51, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

As I wrote in the comments section of the image, the page the image was downloaded from implies a license. It specifically anticipates that the user will want to use the image on their own web page, and gives directions for how to download the image in order to do that.

I am not an expert in copyright, and will not become one soon, and am not following the political machinations of wikipedia. If you want to gut the wiki to gain some sense of purity, go for it. But my uploading of this image sure seems like fair use to me.
 * Delete. Image is clearly copyrighted, and as a map is easily replaceable. —Angr 06:58, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The "implied license" does not necessarily include derivative images and all other possible uses by all possible users. Calliopejen1 11:32, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Preciously deleted fair-use image; uploader now claims it's creative commons but provides no evidence. There are no Google hits for "Designer Portrait Studios", the alleged source.&mdash; Chowbok  ☠  18:04, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

It's easy to tell the difference between a free and unfree image the second you look at it. Seems like a copyvio of http://www.g-unitgallery.com/details.php?image_id=2349. — Spellcast 19:35, 7 August 2007 (UTC).
 * There is no copyright status on the image. It has no restriction etc. --The-G-Unit-Boss 19:41, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * A photo is automatically copyrighted to the person who took the image, unless he/she explicitly states otherwise. Spellcast 19:47, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh right. I understand now. If it gets deleted ill upload another picure which has been previously taken and whose license would be acceptable. --The-G-Unit-Boss 14:41, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Just make the sure the person who took the picture actually released it under a copyleft license. Otherwise, it will be speedied. Spellcast 06:25, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * How can I prove that they have. What if I know that they have but I cant prove it? (Please reply on my talk page as I may forget to check back here) Thanks --The-G-Unit-Boss 14:26, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Tagged PD-Sweden, but the tag says artistic works have to have been created before January 1, 1944, and the description of this image says it was made in March 1944. — —Angr 20:58, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * This discussion is repeated on a regular basis for those who don't understand Swedish copyright law. The image is legally not an artistic work, but a so called "photographic image" created before 1969 and therefore in the public domain. --Odengatan 21:53, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Films aren't considered artistic works in Sweden? How very sad. Is anything? —Angr 21:55, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * If you read the desription you'll notice that it is not a question of a screen shot of a movie, but a photo taken during the rehearsal of the filming, for the promotion of the film - and therfore, according to the Swedish law (which you don't seem to know) not a de jure artistic photo, but a photografic image - A PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE! --Odengatan 22:00, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Please provide evidence that promotional photos are not considered artistic under Swedish law. In other countries with similar distinctions (Germany, Italy) between creative photographs and simple photographic works, only things like passport photos that require no creativity whatsoever are considered simple photographic works. Swedish law may well be different; has this been decided in a court case in Sweden already? Or is it merely your interpretation of Swedish law? —Angr 05:21, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The picture is obviously one of several stage photos from the rehersal of the film, not a screen shot. The picture has later been used as a press photo in promoting the film. Unlike the director of the film, the annonymous photographer didn't direct the actors or set the light. It therefore hardly takes much creativity from the photographer's point of view to take such a photo. --Bondkaka 21:55, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * In some jurisdictions, e.g. Germany, even having the freedom of deciding where to stand when taking the picture is enough creativity to make it a creative work rather than a simple photograph. (When I took this picture, all I did was aim the camera and press the button; yet the fact that I chose to stand where I was rather than a meter to the left or right is sufficient that the photograph would be copyrighted for the longer term appropriate to a photographic work, if I hadn't already released it into the public domain.) Sweden may well have a higher threshold, but I'd like to see some evidence it does. —Angr 22:57, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The threshold might be higher in Sweden, a country which pre 1995 had very little protection for photos. However, I don't think the photographer here had much freedom when he took the photo - he was probably just brought in to the studio, told where to stand and asked to make a quick snapshot of this scene. Director Alf Sjöberg was probably standing impatiently behind his back waiting to continue his artistic work. --Camptown 08:38, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose deletion. A promotional photo from the Filmstaden film studios. The image is in the public domain (according to the transitional provision for Swedish works created before 1969) and could be compared to old snapshots of Picasso paintings. --Camptown 12:21, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Image kept. -Nv8200p talk 21:01, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
 * On what grounds? No one has presented any evidence the photo is public domain. —Angr 22:53, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
