Files by Dvtouch

All files uploaded by Dvtouch (talk · contribs) with an image size of 500px are blatant copyright violations, all images stolen from Flickr, see his talkpage User talk:Dvtouch for examples. It is not necessary - and of course not demandable - to do that much work and search all the files. 500px at the longer side is a clear indication that an image comes from Flickr or Panoramio as this are the default webresolution there. See the list below for the blatant ones, most images are related to the scope Cambodia:

Besides, from my expirience on Commons, I would delete all other files by that uploader. If someone tokes the internet as a self-service shop it not makes sence that he suddenly uploads own works. This goes to:

The collages consisting of non-free images are already marked as missing sources. The Logos can be switched to fair use. File:Wsu apple cup fans.JPG appears to be a private photo. --Martin H. (talk) 10:30, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Clearly a scan of another image. I doubt the uploader owns the rights to the original, posed, photograph. J Milburn (talk) 12:10, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

File:Carternickstmh.png

Obvious screenshot of copyrighted video —SpaceFlight89 12:29, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

File:Snapvlcplayer.png

Screenshot, likely non-free. —SpaceFlight89 12:31, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

File:Nadina Coyle - Sep 09.jpg

Appears to be a photograph of a big screen or something akin, making this a derivative work. J Milburn (talk) 13:52, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

File:Coleman68.jpg

Stated to be GFDL, but the source provided is just the Columbia University Wiki. It's not clear that the uploader there own the copyright to the image, and there is no information on their image page about the author/source. Sherool (talk) 14:09, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

File:Sarah Harding - Sep 09.jpg

Image of a big screen. Non-free derivative work. J Milburn (talk) 14:11, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

File:Unisinosjpg.jpg

Low resolution arial shot. I suspect this image has been taken from elsewhere. J Milburn (talk) 14:15, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

File:Nokia_N900_Portrait_Mode.jpg

Appears to be a Nokia promotional image. Closedmouth (talk) 15:47, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

File:Mark-Whitacre-2008.jpg

Image is not available under specified free-use license - in fact, website says all rights reserved. Cirt (talk) 17:13, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Note also the watermark, Send2Press Newswire, that was cleverly removed from this version of the image used. Cirt (talk) 17:15, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Official People's Republic of China photos

All uploaded by ASDFGH (talk · contribs), there may be a few more of the same class that I've missed but think this is most of them. These are all "tagged" with just raw Wikicode copy & pasted from Commons:Template:PD-PRC-exempt, with an additional statement added below claiming that official photos of public figures are exempt from copyright by Chinese law. However I can find no mention of official photos in the linked version of the law, and the template also does not mention official photos, just law texts, legal and official documents, mere facts and so forth. Also the source websites generally all say "All rights reserved" for what it's worth. A few of these may be PD due to age, but pretty sure the current "tagging" is not correct. --Sherool (talk) 18:15, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Second batch of images tagged {{PD-ROC-exempt}}

These are pretty much the same as the ones above, except for Taiwan (Republic of China) instead of mainland China (People's Republic of China). --Sherool (talk) 20:02, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

See commons:Commons:Deletion requests/Portraits of PRC politicians with PD-PRC-exempt and some older request like commons:Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Hu Jintao Portrait.JPG. In many/most countries government works with administrative nature are public domain to not hamper legal relations with copyright restrictions. It is not possible to use a law if the text of the law is protected by copyright, the public interest beats any of the authors copyright or economic interests. Portrait photographs or any other photographic works missing this administrative nature, they are not of public interest (in its meaning!) and not public domain. There is nothing documented for PRC copyright on Commons/Wikipedia or the law that argues different. --Martin H. (talk) 19:17, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
