 * As far as I'm aware, WIkipedia does honor the copyright laws of all countries, even if they're not signatories of the Berne Convention, and this image clearly doesn't fall under Template:PD-Iran. eh bien mon prince (talk) 00:23, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: Delete. There are two problems with this work: 1) it is a derivative of the person's who originally created it, and 2) it runs afoul of the fanart principle (one which I'm not entirely in agreement with, mind you: but I don't write the laws).

 * Photo of 2-D artwork; purchasing a print doesn't grant copyright. (ESkog)(Talk) 02:32, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Hello, thank you for your comment. This is not a print, it is an original piece given to me by the artist Ha-ha in exchange for ... wait for it ... some intellectual property law assistance I provided to him. I own copyright in the photograph, because I took the photograph.  Your comment invites the inference that everyone taking a photograph of art in a gallery does not obtain a copyright in their photographs of the art.  They do.  But let's assume that those photographs (and mine) constitute derivative works of the original copyrighted art for arguments sake. Despite this, fair use (assuming we are applying US law here, please correct me if I'm mistaken) considers:-


 * 1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
 * 2) the nature of the copyrighted work;
 * 3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
 * 4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.


 * Do you need me to go through why fair-use would apply to a non-commercial page promoting the artist?


 * This is my first time uploading any images to Wikipedia and I have to say the copyright process is downright painful and I'm surprised that this has been flagged at all. Mbacina 10:20 AEST, 13 June 2013 Mbacina (talk) 12:31, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Firstly, if you are claiming that fair use should apply, then it is incorrect to tag the image as being your own work in the public domain. Secondly, Wikipedia's status as a non-commercial entity is irrelevant, because we license our entire work under a free license which does not prohibit downstream reusers from using our content in commercial endeavors. For this reason, it's important that we can identify which of the images we host are non-free images, and either develop appropriate rationales for their use or delete the images.

[User:Mbacina|Mbacina] I thought it would be useful for feedback to note that this copyright process is so painful and kafkaesque that I will not be contributing to Wikipedia again nor will I be contributing funding to support such a broken system. The submission and challenge system for wikipedia should be streamlined. As a result I will no longer be contributing to Wikipedia in content or funding.

Best wishes for the future. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mbacina (talk • contribs) 00:50, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
