Hi Dustin. Since you're interested (or interestable) in copyright stuff, take a quick look at this list. Many still assume that this website is "Camerapedia" -- ouch! Well, this is straightforward, and I'll fix it in the next couple of days. However, there's another problem (I think). It's exemplified in French document in public domain, after 1923, though it pops up all over the place. I quote:
- [These materials] are not in public domain in the United States [...]. Republication of advertising material published in France in that period probably falls under fair use for US legislation, and it is thus accepted in Camera-wiki.
Click the link to "fair use". Do you see anything there that suggests that republication of this is likely to be thought "fair use"? I don't.
Of course, common sense says that if either (a) it's mere advertising or (b) it's anyway in the PD in the nation of its origin -- let alone both (a) and (b) -- then only a loony would kick up a fuss about it. But this is a question of law, not of common sense.
(You're not a lawyer? Neither am I. But I think that we're both qualified to read an article about "fair use" -- not that this one should be assumed to be authoritative, of course.) Zuleika 03:44, 24 March 2011 (PDT)
