Image talk:Hanuman.jpg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Used in Hanuman
- Everyone who uploads Hindu art says "It must be public domain", though I can't see any reason to believe so. The artist is usually anonymous, and in India copyright continues for 60 years after publication of an anonymous work. 60 years after publication of a photograph, and 60 years after death in other cases.[1] — Zeimusu | Talk 09:39, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- This is an extremely common representation of Hanuman. I've found five different versions in only a few pages of Google Images, each with very slightly different color levels. Does image proliferation imply de facto fair use? — Asbestos | Talk 09:42, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- The use of the image is not relevant, but the nature of the image is significant in making a fairuse claim. I think fair old is possible. — Zeimusu | Talk 09:49, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- The source of these would seem to be the now defuct spritweb.org.. But on wayback that site claims to have got the images free from the internet (especially newsgroups) and not to know anything about the copyright status. — Zeimusu | Talk 10:39, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Last chance to save this image
- Let's say fair old -- These devotion pictures are based on traditional models. It is therefore quite possible this image is already out of copyright, certainly that is the belief of a number of uploaders of this type of image. However it is probably impossible to find the original source so we can't be sure about that. On the other hand this image is being used to illustrate a relevant article to which it sigificantly contributes. Moreover it seems to be the intention that these images be widely distibuted. We can name spirit web as a possible intermidiate source. — Zeimusu | Talk 05:08, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
