From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There is no possibility to create legal situations individually without clear interpretation of the court - in this case - The Supreme Court of Ukraine .Private interpretations of terms of adopting law ( especially in question of date of securing of copyright) is unacceptable. The interpretation of law by Russian Federation Supreme Court is not the only one and has not be adopted to other successors of Soviet Union.

Where have you seen the Russian Supreme Court? Alex Spade (talk) 13:48, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Especially for this reason:

"Section VI Final Provisions 1.This Law shall come into force on the day of its publication, and shall apply to the legal relations that arise after it has taken effect."

It is clear regulation of Ukrainian Copyright Law (3792-12) (1993, changed 2001 in version for today)

  1. First, there is no date Jan. 1, 1952 in Ukraine law - the date is Jan. 1, 1951 - because the increasing time of protection was made in 2001, when works, which had been publicated in 1951, were still copyrighted, they could be in PD, only after Jan.1, 2002 - but time of protection had been changed early.
  2. Second, the date Jan. 1, 1951 is moving down to Jan. 1, 1946, according to US-law[1].
That' all. The same was written in previous version [2] exepting the error with Jan. 1, 1952, instead Jan.1, 1951.
So. I have changed nothing exept correction of date and making comment about films (which were corporative copyright). Alex Spade (talk) 13:48, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
  • US law has nothing to do with Ukrainian copyright. I'm waiting for Your proof from jurisdiction of Supreme Court of Ukraine. You are right as to the date Jan.1,1951 Andros64 (talk) 15:26, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
    • Yes, US-law is nothing for Ukrainian one. But, we are not in Ukraine, we are in USA on English Wikipedia project - here the rule "work must be in PD in US" is acting - see Wikipedia:Public domain for more information. Alex Spade (talk) 15:47, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
