Scan from a book, no permission. Yann (talk) 18:56, 11 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Scan

Hello. Yes I made that scan, after many years working on the Chinese art, and it's a major work of art for this period. And it's not easy to find good reproductions on Commons, exept sometimes. And I did a lot of work to make corrections on the images of Commons or with the permission of Gary Lee Todd, for example. BUT, now, that work of art, (the real author of the gilded bronze is dead) has no good reproduction but in the book mentioned. So I think if you want to suppress all of the images of the art of China scanned from books, all over the world, you have a big job. And it's a pity because we cannot speak of works of arts, scultures and pantings, if we can't see them. Are you sure that it is a good job for the law! How can I ask the permission to the author, now? I think the work for wikipedia, in those conditions, is too hard. Sorry to disturb you. Have a good day. (I'm a French man, sorry for my bad english).

@Ismoon: Bonjour,
L'auteur de la statue est mort, mais la photo est récente. Donc le photographe possède encore des droits sur cette photo. Cordialement, Yann (talk) 13:03, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
English: The author of the statue is dead, but the picture is recent. Therefore, the photographer still owns a copyright on this picture. Regards, Yann (talk) 13:03, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete: The sculpture itself is old and thus no longer copyrighted, but the person who took the photograph of it has copyright in the photograph. He or she had to choose the angle from which to photograph the sculpture, check that the lighting was suitable, and so on. If you had photographed the sculpture yourself, then there would be no problem for you to upload that photograph. This rule does not apply to two-dimensional works if they are photographed straight-on. — SMUconlaw (talk) 17:52, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
