thread_title:  Wikipedia PD images 

message: Just noting that there is a long discussion which involves Australian copyright law to do with photographs here: Template talk:PD-Australia and also at Wikipedia:Australian Wikipedians' notice board ---- Astrokey44 10:14, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[WP:AWNB]] discussion about Public Domain images from NLA 

message: The article currently says:
:An interesting consequence of this for the Internet is that a work may be public domain in the US but not in Australia, or vice versa.
First, I think this is POV—who says it was interesting? :-) Seriously though, phrasing such as "it's noteworthy that" or "interestingly, blahblah" show something of the writer's point of view, but don't add anything to the article. Furthermore, why "for the Internet"? This is nothing specific to the Internet, it is always the case. There is no global "public domain" as copyright expiry always differs between countries. Please see WP:PD for more information. Lupo 15:43, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Phrasing 

message: The article currently says:
:Photographs, sound recordings, films, and anonymous/pseudonymous works are copyright for seventy (70) years from their first publication.
At least for photographs, this is wrong. Until May 1, 1969 the copyright term on published photographs was "50 years since creation"; it was then changed to "50 years since publication". The 2005 AUSFTA amendments changed this to "70 years p.m.a". Published photographs created before January 1, 1955 are thus in the public domain in Australia, for all others, the 70y p.m.a. applies. Unpublished photographs are under perpetual copyright, and anonymous or psudonymous photographs have a term of 70 years of first publication. Lupo 15:49, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Photographs 

message: Taking photographs of all these things is explicitly OK. I'm just mentioning this here because many other countries don't seem to have this and I don't want to see unnecessary "derivative work paranoia".
Copyright Act 1968
"Division 7--Acts not constituting infringements of copyright in artistic works"

thread_title: Move discussion in progress

message: Certainly a photo created in Australia before 1955 in PD in Australia. But is it PD in the US? We're trying to iron that out at Wikipedia:Media_copyright_questions#Is_File:BASantamaria.jpg_PD.3F and would appreciate any expertise.... – Quadell (talk) 17:56, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
