French artist Paul Émile Chabas died in 1937, not quite 70 years after death -- will that be next year it will be copyright expired by French law? In any case are we jumping the gun a bit by moving it from en:Wikipedia to Commons now? --Infrogmation 13:03, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Guess that depends on whether the French war-time extension apply in addition to the extension to 70 years or whether the extension to 70 years superseded the older war-time extensions. I thought the consensus here was that the latter was the case, i.e., that plain 70 years applies. And yes, even if so, we'd be jumping the gun a bit. Lupo 15:57, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Same question as above: Is this great artist http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=Philipp+A.+von+L%E1szl%F3&btnG=Google-Suche&meta= PD in six weeks, or will this take another full year? Mutter Erde 13:32, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would think the EU copyright term of 70 years expires on December 31, 2007, so from January 1, 2008 on, there'd be no copyright on the painting in the EU. In the U.S., things may be different, depending on whether the painting was considered published and if so, when and where. But we generally ignore that latter problem for non-US authors anyway. But beware of the (non-)applicability of {{PD-Art}} for reproductions from the UK... Why did you think it might take another year? Lupo 15:54, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks, you are right. It's always the Dec 31 of the author´s death year. Btw.: Just have found on en another painting of en:Philip de László with this funny comment: Copyright on this picture expire in the United States on 1 January 2008 - uploaded in 2002 ! :-).

Thanks, no longer. :-) Someone ignored U.S. copyright rules at en-WP. Lupo 20:18, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:September morn.JPG deleted. As no request for deletion message was ever put on Image:Kronprinzessin Cecilie von Preussen 1908 2 .jpg nor was the uploader notified, I did not delete it at this time. Should it be deleted now too? -- Infrogmation 21:01, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We might discuss this German beauty till Dec 31 ??? ;-). Or bet something, who of this will be uploaded first on Jan 1, 2008. The Duchess of York, later Queen Mom ?). Greetings Mutter Erde 22:16, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Heh. Well, there seems consensus that the image is not quite yet public domain -- meaning at present, it is not PD, so I'm going ahead and deleting it per policy. Note the source of the image is here if someone wishes to re-upload it after the new year. -- Infrogmation 01:32, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. Sorry, not public domain until it is public domain. -- Infrogmation 01:32, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Restored, now public domain. -- Infrogmation 23:28, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
