I have a question about whether loopholes in Copyrights exist or not. My question is concerning the company, UralVagonZavod. Notice how on every single page of the official website, there is a Copyright 2014 meaning that all images are non-free or unusable. However, if you go under the Product towards the top page, you'll see a WALLPAPER link with a few images that are built for mobile devices and in different resolutions. Is it possible to download these pages without violating copyrights? because I find it puzzling that the WALLPAPER link is listed under download in the search bar.

I would like to upload images that I have assembled that contain side-by-side comparisons of art works that date from the 16th century. In this case, images by Raphael and Castagno 'cut-n-pasted'...assembled side-by-side, for the sake of illustrating the comparison of the two images.
Although these images are certainly pre-copyright...I was "taken to task" by a Wiki-diva in the past because I tagged a similar composite image as "my own work"...the Diva in question accusing me of claiming authorship of works by Titian and Leonardo da Vinci.
The composite image certainly was created by myself, although it contained works of old masters...which I attributed in the description.
There was, I believe, a tag for such derivative works...which I can no longer find.
Question is:
What would you recommend as the appropriate tag for such an image? (Hoping to avoid a confrontation as occurred in the past involving this issue).
(I certainly would waive any individual copyright claims I have as to the image created. Just mean to upload for the purposes of a 'talk' discussion).

I found an image on a movie review article written by Joe Bendel for the film "Eden" (2012) on a newspaper site "The Epoch Times" and wanted to add it to the movie's Wikipedia page under the Plot category. I saved the picture onto my laptop under the name it suggested and inserted it between two of the paragraphs and clicked Save. However, a completely different picture appeared on the page from what I had saved. I went back to the movie review article and re-saved the picture with a new title (changing the title from "Eden.jpg" to "Eden-and-Vaughan-talking-in-van.jpg") and inserted it once again and clicked Save. This time, it is not displaying the picture, only the file, and clicking on it only takes me to a page suggesting there is something wrong with the uploading process. I tried citing it but nothing changed.

I'd like to use one of these images of A. Merritt's Fantasy Magazine. The copyright was renewed in 1981: see here. However, the magazine's five issues appeared in 1949 and 1950, so my understanding is that the copyright would have had to be renewed in 1977 or 1978 to be valid. As far as I can tell it was not renewed until this 1981 registration. Is this still copyrighted, or did the cover images go into the public domain because of the late renewal?

I thought it would be nice to add a photo to Henry Horatio Dixon. There is one at the National Portrait Gallery. They are willing to provide a CC license, but only an NC version. I'm wondering if it is out of copyright. Per the Commons site, it appears that the Crown Copyright expires 50 years after publication. How do I determine publication date? The copyright also expires 70 years after the photographer's death, but he died in 1958, so we haven't reached that hurdle.
I see we are using another photo by this same photographer File:Berta Ruck by Walter Stoneman (1916).jpg, but that is uploaded to Wikipedia, not Commons, presumably because it qualifies as public domain in the US, but not necessarily elsewhere. Is that the way to go?
I checked to see if we had a relationship with the National Portrait Gallery, but I do not see them in this list.-- S Philbrick (Talk) 14:20, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

I am trying to get a response on an issue which is important for my article I am working on. I have uploaded an image (advertisement) from a newspaper (Pakistan Observer) dated 17 July 1959. I created this file with an upload wizard while I was practicing on creating article in my sandbox. I was not aware of copyright vs public domain issues at that time. Several volunteers have questioned about the copyright issue. After researching I found the following information:
1. American Newspaper Articles published between 1923 and 1977 without a copyright notice. For this time frame, if there wasn’t a copyright notice in the newspaper, it’s in the public domain.
2. The situation with foreign works is in some ways simpler but also more complex. For most of its history, the U.S. expected foreign works to follow the same rules that U.S. works had to obey. In order to secure copyright protection, works first published between 1923 and March 1, 1989, had to follow a series of formalities. Failure to comply with the formalities (publication with copyright notice, renewal of copyright, manufacture of some works in the U.S., deposit of copies with the Copyright Office) could limit the copyright owner’s rights or, in some cases, even end copyright protection. Few works published abroad complied with these requirements, and so it was assumed that most of them were in the public domain.
I checked the Newspaper (Pakistan Observer) thoroughly and did not find any information about copyright protection. Based on the above information, I believe that it is in the public domain. If I am correct on this, how do I change the information on the file (from Source and author) to the public domain? Morahim ( talk) 14:49, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I have a query re street art. The Banksy article has a number of photos of his works—the uploader states he is the author and has released them into the public domain.

A few days ago, a video was uploaded to YouTube by members of the Islamic State showing the beheading of American journalist James Foley, presumably taken by someone known as Jihadi John or accomplices. The video was taken down by YouTube soon after as a violation of policy. The video in-full has since been showing up on Bittorrent, shock forums and other social media websites, but no mainstream media websites (though they have published stills from the video). The question is if we can link to the full video from Wikipedia (see Footnote #37 in the James Foley article). For example it's hosted at here at BestGore.com (caution: Police warn sharing James Foley killing video is a crime, The Guardian). The relevant policy seems to be WP:COPYLINK: "if you know or reasonably suspect that an external Web site is carrying a work in violation of the creator's copyright, do not link to that copy of the work."

My many photos have received this message. Will it any way affect my picture or the articles written by me? This picture was clicked by me from my own private camera? Then why is this tag posted over here? Please help.
No need to see the tags here too.

I'd like to use one of these images of A. Merritt's Fantasy Magazine. The copyright was renewed in 1981: see here. However, the magazine's five issues appeared in 1949 and 1950, so my understanding is that the copyright would have had to be renewed in 1977 or 1978 to be valid. As far as I can tell it was not renewed until this 1981 registration. Is this still copyrighted, or did the cover images go into the public domain because of the late renewal?

I got into a revert with an IP over use of logos in a bio. They were unencyclopaedic but also at the time tagged as fair use. However, correctly the IP has queried whether they should be PD.

I thought it would be nice to add a photo to Henry Horatio Dixon. There is one at the National Portrait Gallery. They are willing to provide a CC license, but only an NC version. I'm wondering if it is out of copyright. Per the Commons site, it appears that the Crown Copyright expires 50 years after publication. How do I determine publication date? The copyright also expires 70 years after the photographer's death, but he died in 1958, so we haven't reached that hurdle.
I see we are using another photo by this same photographer File:Berta Ruck by Walter Stoneman (1916).jpg, but that is uploaded to Wikipedia, not Commons, presumably because it qualifies as public domain in the US, but not necessarily elsewhere. Is that the way to go?
I checked to see if we had a relationship with the National Portrait Gallery, but I do not see them in this list.-- S Philbrick (Talk) 14:20, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

I am trying to get a response on an issue which is important for my article I am working on. I have uploaded an image (advertisement) from a newspaper (Pakistan Observer) dated 17 July 1959. I created this file with an upload wizard while I was practicing on creating article in my sandbox. I was not aware of copyright vs public domain issues at that time. Several volunteers have questioned about the copyright issue. After researching I found the following information:
1. American Newspaper Articles published between 1923 and 1977 without a copyright notice. For this time frame, if there wasn’t a copyright notice in the newspaper, it’s in the public domain.
2. The situation with foreign works is in some ways simpler but also more complex. For most of its history, the U.S. expected foreign works to follow the same rules that U.S. works had to obey. In order to secure copyright protection, works first published between 1923 and March 1, 1989, had to follow a series of formalities. Failure to comply with the formalities (publication with copyright notice, renewal of copyright, manufacture of some works in the U.S., deposit of copies with the Copyright Office) could limit the copyright owner’s rights or, in some cases, even end copyright protection. Few works published abroad complied with these requirements, and so it was assumed that most of them were in the public domain.
I checked the Newspaper (Pakistan Observer) thoroughly and did not find any information about copyright protection. Based on the above information, I believe that it is in the public domain. If I am correct on this, how do I change the information on the file (from Source and author) to the public domain? Morahim ( talk) 14:49, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I have a query re street art. The Banksy article has a number of photos of his works—the uploader states he is the author and has released them into the public domain. Playing devil's advocate, surely that is creation of a derivative work and therefore a breach of copyright? Or does street art somehow fall under Freedom of Panorama?

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload new images. However, it appears that one or more of the images you have recently uploaded or added to a page, specifically Draft:Cytometry Part A, may fail our non-free image policy.

We always upload the content with the full permission from the authors, and all cover images are created for a sole purpose of appearing on the cover of the journal.

This is significantly higher resolution than would normally be considered acceptable under WP:NFCC#3b but the uploader believes it would be a violation of the licence ( MOD News Licence v2.0) to rescale the image.

I tried to upload the following file [4] which has since been removed due to lack of copyright material. I'd like to re-upload it again and do it right, but I'm afraid I need some help.
The image was a photo portrait of Phillip Jacobson. He provided a hard copy of the photo to me, which I subsequently scanned and uploaded. Unfortunately I'm not a lawyer, and copyright isn't straightforward, so I guess my question is what do I need to do in this situation? Do I need to provide an email from Mr. Jacobson saying that he agrees to Wikipedia's terms and conditions?

A few days ago, a video was uploaded to YouTube by members of the Islamic State showing the beheading of American journalist James Foley, presumably taken by someone known as Jihadi John or accomplices. The video was taken down by YouTube soon after as a violation of policy. The video in-full has since been showing up on Bittorrent, shock forums and other social media websites, but no mainstream media websites (though they have published stills from the video). The question is if we can link to the full video from Wikipedia (see Footnote #37 in the James Foley article). For example it's hosted at here at BestGore.com (caution: Police warn sharing James Foley killing video is a crime, The Guardian). The relevant policy seems to be WP:COPYLINK: "if you know or reasonably suspect that an external Web site is carrying a work in violation of the creator's copyright, do not link to that copy of the work."
