Folks, I have copied the following information from the latest IMA New Flash for a reminder to consider when you are posting images to Scavenger Hunt - TSC.

#4) "On March 26, 2019, the European Parliament adopted the copyright reform, which had been subject of much controversy until recently. It does not affect ipernity as a non-commercial community in its entirety. Nevertheless, we would like to ask you again not to upload any copyright protected content."

Trust everyone is having a good start to the weekend. :)

Happy Hunting

Chris

Folks, I discovered this:

commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Copyright_rules_by_subject_matter#Noticeboards_and_signs

So, on #26 "A Funny sign" we all probably infringed the copyright. At least I did =(

My recommendation: Switch that image as private and shared in this private group only.

Sami I have made my funny sign private/ I have a question though if I remove that picture from other groups that I may have shared it with, will that remove my original image that I posted to the Scavenger Hunt group? Sorry if this is a somewhat silly question.

When you remove contribution from some groups, it doesn't affect on other contributions.

Definitely not wishing to spoil the fun, and as suggested above, one can safely share some "questionable" contributions on this private group only. That can be done by marking the image as private when you upload it, and then share it in this private group only. Reply "yes" when you are asked to confirm your decision to share it in the group.

Anyway, I recommend reading this blog article of mine:

www.ipernity.com/blog/serola/4714022

Or just check through this Wikimedia Commons 'Copyright rules by subject matter' article:

commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Copyright_rules_by_subject_matter

And here's an example on toys, in which case I have very likely infringed the copyright:

commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Copyright_rules_by_subject_matter#Toys

Directing to another wiki article, and especially this example there:

"If I take a photograph of a kid who is holding a stuffed Winnie the Pooh toy, does Disney own the copyright in the photo since they own the Pooh design?"

(URL shortened, because it did not work in original form)

So, as we all probably know, especially Disney company can be eager to protect their copyright.

The bottom line there is this: "... you may have created a derivative work without permission." Even when making so called "derivative works", one need to be careful. Items or elements on the image may not allow such thing. Like taking an image of Eiffel tower lights, no matter how small the Eiffel tower appears on it.
