The following works are copyrightable:
Copyrighted photographs are protected for 50 years after publication.
You need pre-approval to publish photos by the Philippine government if you have any intention of using the photos commercially: From the Republic Act 8293 ( [2]), section 176:
Since government pre-approval is necessary to use photos commercially, this means that photos created by the government of the Philippines are not public domain, in the sense the word is used in the article " public domain". Thuresson 23:44, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
I modified the template to make the point that these images are indeed still in the public domain per Section 176 of the IPCP. However, while the government may lobby for proprietary rights to their works (something which I believe contradicts that section), it should still be noted that these images can be used under the Philippine and U.S. fair use doctrines (Philippine at time of uploading, both Philippine and U.S. at time of storage, in my opinion). To make a point of section 176, which is a carry-over from the Marcos-era Presidential Decree No. 49:
Some other forms of Philippine government works, largely spoken and written works, are completely in the public domain. However, they may be compiled exclusively by the person who has actually done said things.
The new template now is this:
The following work is in the
public domain in the
Philippines and possibly other jurisdictions as stated by
Republic Act No. 8293 because this is a work of the Philippine government. Under RA 8293, all Philippine government works are ineligible for copyright.
However, this work is only available in the public domain under a non-commercial and permission-based license per the same law. For more information on this, see Philippine copyright law. This image should only be used if it is done in accordance with Wikipedia's fair use policy. |
Let's see now if that works. -- Sky Harbor 05:27, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
