Files in Category:Auschwitz Museum

edit

Derivative work of a copyrighted model which is above the threshold of originality. {{FoP-Poland}} does not cover interiors.

@Buidhe: There is probably a debate to be had around assertively* protecting copyright of pictures, posters and even models, that have been created to convey information or 'deeper stories' to the general public as common sense might suggest that the creators, if there was the opportunity to ask them (some regrettably may no longer be with us), would not withhold approval to have copies of their work freely circulated to a wider public audience (irrespective of guidelines {{FoP-Poland}}). That said, it seems to be extending the boundaries of such assertiveness to wish to propose deleting an image where the supposed 'object' (partial view) of an infringement is deliberately out of focus with the camera focus on the person viewing the model and their reflection on 'the story' highlighted by the reflection of another person in the background. Given the importance of continuing to tell the full story of Auschwitz I personally do not think any photos should be deleted here unless these have been requested by the author(s) or there are compelling reasons to believe that copyright is being deliberately abused. I believe neither of these reasons apply to File:Auschwitz I-07.jpg. --SM1 (talk) 07:28, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • PS Distinctions between 'interior' and 'exterior' may seem clear in current contexts but do not necessarily reflect original settings or the intentions of the creator with regards to pictures, posters and models. This would generally suggest that discrimination of derivative images of such on this basis alone should be avoided unless deliberate commercial infringements of applicable local copyright regulations are suspected. --SM1 (talk) 08:30, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • In reply to SM1, I checked COM:DM and I don't think it applies to any of the images, but I will let an admin decide. The copyright is presumably held by Auschwitz Museum, if they wished to release the exhibit under a free license I assume that they would do so, but there is no evidence that that is the case. I am not convinced the photographs have a great educational value since none of them is used in a single Wikipedia article in any language. Buidhe (talk) 07:37, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
