Derivative work of copyrighted work - the image is being used to show Alan Shearer, but it uses a copyrighted banner. Mosmof (talk) 04:32, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * This is a blatant case of copyright paranoia. A copyright protects commercial rights, it is quite clear that by photographing a large banner (you can't even pretend it's similar to a poster) with trees in the way and the stadium visible through the cloth, you cannot use that photograph in a commercial sense to the detriment of the copyright owners ability to do so, who own the original artwork used to make the banner, which is obviously of much higher quality and value. This is a valid free use imho, applying deriative work to this is clearly completely over-zealous. MickMacNee (talk) 15:42, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * What's the difference between a poster and an outdoor banner other than the size? Freedom of panorama doesn't apply to temporary displays like this. It would be free use if the banner's appearance was incidental, but the photograph is clearly being used, not to show the stadium, but the contents of the banner. That it's partially obscured doesn't make its purpose any different if, say, you were to upload a digital version of the banner. Seems like a clear cut case of derivative work. --Mosmof (talk) 17:28, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Blatant derivative, the main focus of the image is the copyrighted banner. As mentioned if this would have been a full photo of the Stadium with the banner taking up a minor part then it might be ok, but as it is the image is a copyvio. Lokal_Profil 00:24, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Both of you have blatantly missed the point, and do not understand what copyright law is for. I never mentioned freedom of panorama, specifically because that is not the defense. So please explain to me how a public photograph of this banner diminishes the copyright holders ability to commercially exploit the original image. You can't, you are being copyright paranoids. You are clearly mistaken if you actually think this photo is the same as "a digital version of the banner". Perhaps you need an eye test, or a course in law. MickMacNee (talk) 00:58, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Both of you have blatantly missed the point, and do not understand what copyright law is for. - I beg to differ. I like to think I was subtle about it, but I guess that's a matter of opinions.
 * I never mentioned freedom of panorama, specifically because that is not the defense. - Fair enough. I mentioned it because it's the only realistic justification for an image that prominently features intellectual property. Forget I ever mentioned it, then.
 * So please explain to me how a public photograph of this banner diminishes the copyright holders ability to commercially exploit the original image. You can't, you are being copyright paranoids. - I won't explain it, because commercial interest has little to do with whether this image is a derivative work. Copyright infringement doesn't have to involve commercial gain or loss.
 * You are clearly mistaken if you actually think this photo is the same as "a digital version of the banner". - Fortunately, that's not what I think. I wrote that the purpose was the same. Big difference. The quality is lower and it's a weeeee bit obscured, but the point of the photograph is to reproduce the banner.
 * Perhaps you need an eye test, or a course in law. - And perhaps you need to be WP:CIVIL. --Mosmof (talk) 02:59, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
 * "commercial interest has little to do with whether this image is a derivative work. Copyright infringement doesn't have to involve commercial gain or loss" - This is a total representation of copyright paranoia, you absolutely do not know the difference between the letter and the purpose of copyright law. "The point of the photograph is to reproduce the banner" - of course it is, why take it otherwise? Are you suggesting the what must be millions of people that did are devious law breakers? Or that the copyright holders made a mistake by allowing this banner to be displayed in public? Your arguments are patently a joke, a complete nonsense in the world of common sense, as opposed to the world of image paranoia that you appear to inhabit on wikipedia. MickMacNee (talk) 03:35, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Are you suggesting the what must be millions of people that did are devious law breakers? - Of course not! That would be silly. Those millions of people who photographed the Shearer banner did so for their own personal, private use. Now, publishing the photograph to essentially reuse the banner's contents would be a whole another matter.
 * Your arguments are patently a joke, a complete nonsense in the world of common sense' - Speaking of common, there's a helpful explanation of derivative works at Commons here. It's pretty much what I've been trying to explain to you, but I think it does a better job. There's a more thorough explanation here - those pages are meant for Commons uploaders, but the basic idea applies to English Wikipedia uploads as well.
 * FWIW, I'm not arguing for deletion per se. I imagine it could be tagged as a fair use image, but it definitely shouldn't be used at the top of the Alan Shearer per WP:NFCC, and its use in Newcastle F.C. is probably not valid, per WP:NFCC, since the discussion is about the message and content of the banner, rather than about the notoriety or controversy of the banner itself.
 * I hope this helps you understand image copyright policies better. --Mosmof (talk) 02:58, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
