[edit] From Wikipedia:Image sleuthing

Used on Khmer Rouge.
- According to this CNN/AP story from April 21, 2000, these photos were printed from negatives discovered in 1993 by two photojournalists in a (Khmer, I suppose) prison archive. That makes the copyright of the individual photos very unclear. I do not know if anybody might hold a copyright on the collage per se—maybe the Tuol Sleng Museum (cf. also this travel report, indicating that this museum exhibits such a collage).

Image on the orginials with Khmer Rouge government. Probably fair use is possible.Zeimusu | (Talk page) 07:45, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

Surely, the Khmer Rouge was not party to any international copyright agreements. Therefore, these defninitely seem to be in the public domain in every country by Cambodia, and are probably public domain there too. IANAL, but doesn't that make sense? Superm401 | Talk 06:28, May 26, 2005 (UTC)

Acording to http://www.chgs.umn.edu/Visual___Artistic_Resources/Cambodian_Genocide/Prisoners_at_S-21_Prison/prisoners_at_s-21_prison.html I believe that the photos can be used with the following credit line: Tuol Sleng Museum of Genocide/Photo Archive Group. --NetGuru 17:49, 2005 Jun 9 (UTC)
- That's a great find. Have you tried emailling the webmaster there for their opinion? Zeimusu | (Talk page) 04:46, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

These pictures are testament to how POV the Khmer Rouge page is. Can you imagine if I made a slideshow of prisoners, put them on the page of the US Republican Party or Democratic Party, and said they were the "victims" of these parties? It would be wiped as POV in seconds, I'd probably be blocked or something. Then again this is OK because the Khmer Rouge were pure evil, right? That is they were until the US began supporting them in 1979... Ruy Lopez 15:36, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
- Luckily, there is no analogy there because the U.S. does not kill nearly all of the prisoners in its prisons. This is off-topic. Ashibaka tock 04:53, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
