[edit]

On Flickr this photo is part of a set called Blog Thumbnails, which I don't think are the Flickr user's work. See http://www.flickr.com/photos/caboindex/sets/72157600454803697/ William Avery 19:07, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please standy by with this deletion request, since the uploader of these photos was not warned of this. I have just told him about it on pt.wikipedia, and asked if he knows something about the website. Maybe we can get permissions; he's very active with Cabo Verde related issues and may know the people creating such contents. Patrícia msg 21:13, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid things are not this simple... I've had problems with caboindex's images on flickr before, which I uploaded to commons but some were deleted (rightfully) by user:LX as "flickrwashed copyvio". See relevant link. The problem is, that site contains a lot of great original images that could be very good to illustrate Cape Verde-related articles, but it also contains a lot of copyrighted images, such as album covers, official pictures from Cape Verdean artists, etc. Caboindex at Flickr marks many of the images with creative commons licenses, and some of these are copyrighted (not by the website!). Due to that incident, I suppose, the flickr2commons tool (there are two I guess, I am not sure which one) has blacklisted that user (maybe LX did contact the bot owners after our conversation but I didn't check that), and now his "good" images have to be uploaded manually.

I even sent an email to Flickr requesting that that user be warned to remove its copyright infringing images from flickr, so his sets could be imported to commons (the reference is Flickr Case 386515, in case the records are publicly acessible). In any case, their response was: 

Hello,

Flickr is subject to the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright
Act) and will take down any infringing material upon receipt
of a complete Notice of Infringement. This is handled by the
Yahoo! Copyright Team. There's more information available at
this URL:

http://docs.yahoo.com/info/copyright/copyright.html

We'll review the account to see if any further action
should be taken.

"upon receipt of a complete Notice of Infringement".. well I din't send one as I know nothing about this issue and honestly it looked as it would be a bureaucratic procedure with little efect, but I might be wrong. Should I do it? Waldir talk 16:50, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It would be nice of them to ctually explain what that is... Anyway, since this looks like flickrwashing of licenses, or maybe simply lack of knowledge about proper licensing from the Flickr user, I'm closing this and deleting the images. Patrícia msg 15:14, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
