Hi Clindberg. Any opinions you have on this would be appreciated. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:55, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Carl, Could you please confirm that this film is not affected by the URAA, as the director died in 1934, and the film was in the public domain in 1995? Thanks, Yann (talk) 10:23, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding your opinion there. Could you also please write a synthesis for Commons:Copyright rules by territory/France? I think it is better that a native English speaker does it. Yann (talk) 16:43, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Carl, Could you please give your opinion about the application of URAA for Vichy state assets? I think there is no way that the current French state to claim a copyright once owned by the Vichy state, and that therefore, as much below the significant doubt required by policies, URAA should not apply. others disagree. What do you think? Yann (talk) 08:58, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would have to think the current French government would be a successor. While from a practical standpoint I can't imagine the current government trying to protect those works, I would have to think they would technically own any such copyrights, if they ever had a reason to do something with a particular work. Did the wartime extensions apply to those works? I can't remember the cutoff date something had to be published by to get them. Anonymous works would have been 50 years from publication on the URAA date, plus extensions if they existed -- if none, then it would have been PD in France before the URAA. I do wonder if France would give those extensions to such works. The URAA would apply to government works -- I don't think the Berne Convention allowed the US to avoid restoring such works in general, as much as I dislike that. On more solid ground though, I would have to think the U.S. copyright was technically owned by the Alien Property Custodian, since it was a work from an enemy state. As such, that probably would trigger the URAA exception, for any such works which would be owned by a government today. If it was an official portrait, there is also a decent chance it was simultaneously published in the US at the time, but that usually requires some evidence. But odds are the APC exception applied to that work to avoid restoration in the US, meaning it's also PD there. I certainly don't think we should delete it.

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2023 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighteenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2023) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and top 5% of most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 1 will end on 14 October 2024, 23:59:59 UTC.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
