Apparently a screenshot of a copyrighted television show, meaning that the uploader has no right to release the image into the public domain. J Milburn (talk) 00:27, 7 August 2008 (UTC)


 * nope, you're wrong, I took it myself at the show. --Eckre (talk) 12:21, 7 August 2008 (UTC)


 * That's weird, since it's about the same angle, aspect ratio, and image quality as the video that's posted here: http://www.aesmith.org/?page_id=26. And they generally don't like people taking photographs during tapings. Occam's Razor tells me this is a screencap (and I figured that's what "SC" stood for). --Mosmof (talk) 13:15, 7 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I see clear evidence of video artefacts.   Asenine   16:18, 7 August 2008 (UTC)


 * It also seems extremely unlikely that the producers of the show would allow cameras in the taping. --Ipoellet (talk) 15:27, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Summary conflicts with release into public domain. Not clear if the uploader is the owner of the copyright or original image. Morbidthoughts (talk) 04:37, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete the uploader doesn't own this. Also it should be deleted under WP:CSD as a copyright violation. -- 'Kanonkas' : Talk  12:52, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Although the site where the uploader found this pic is licensed CC-BY, the disclaimer reads, "Images and logos included in this site are the copyright of their respective owners", which implies the site does not claim ownership of images used there. Given the age of the photo, it's highly improbable that the site owns copyright or that it would be licensed under Creative Commons. Mosmof (talk) 05:53, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Fanart based on a character copyrighted by Sega. — Megata Sanshiro (talk) 10:32, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * This is actually not listed as being free. I am removing it from the userpage, leaving a comment on his talk and adding an orphan notice to the image.   Asenine   16:04, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Looking at the history, it appears you changed the license. Please do not do this whilst starting a PUI, I am reverting the license.   Asenine   16:06, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh and finally, in general fanart not depicting a copyrighted character is ok. You state that it is 'based on' a copyrighted character, which is ok. It would only not be fine if it was a derivative.   Asenine   16:08, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It looks exactly like the characters Sonic the Hedgehog or Shadow the Hedgehog. If Sega were to file a copyright violation suit, they would definitely win. They would of course never bother doing it, but the point is that this image goes against the Wikipedia policies. Megata Sanshiro (talk) 08:30, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

This Sonic character does not exist. I made this at a flash type thing on Deviant Art. This is just what I would want to look like if I were a Sonic character. So there is no copyright and I released to the public domain sence I made it myself (didn't make the flash) and I made it at a flash. Unknown  the   Hedgehog  16:39, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

there is nothing on the source website to indicate that this image is free of copyright restrictions, or that it's reproduced on Wikipedia with their permission, as claimed on the image description page - Wikipedia is not mentioned on the source. Rossrs (talk) 14:19, 7 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I've been in contact with the uploader by email; he has an OTRS ticket (2008010610005646) that covers the scan, but not (necessarily) the photo on the magazine cover. I'm working with him on this. --Rlandmann (talk) 20:45, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

For the PD-UK license to be vaild, the photographer has to have been dead for 70 years, but the photograph was taken in 1952. Unlikely that the photographer was dead when he took the photo. Also, it appears the source site does not own the copyrights to the images it uses, based on the disclaimer that reads, "Images and logos included in this site are the copyright of their respective owners" Mosmof (talk) 15:47, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Image:GeorgeRaynor.jpg
Same as above, the photographer is not old enough to be in PD in the UK Mosmof (talk) 15:51, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Uploader is not owner of copyright as stated, or else he would have known his own name, which is 'Ye Rin Mok', not 'Yerin Mok'. No permission asserted.   Asenine   16:01, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

While I have no reason to doubt that the overlay is self made, I suspect that the underlying image is copyrighted by one of the Google Earth variants Kevin (talk) 23:22, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, the image is elf made and the underlying map of Egypt comes from public domain (non-copyrighted) from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Please let me know if you have any more questions. --Lanternix (talk) 12:34, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
