The simple fact is that an extensive restortion contains substantal creative input, to the point that it's likely it could be copyrighted in many more jurisdictions than mere sweat-of-the-brow ones.<br /><br />Further, Peter, when me and Durova were active, two dozen restorations was what Commons were getting in a month, if not less.Adam C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04180408486073526049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12046714.post-83373502772094893082012-07-13T01:00:00.623+02:002012-07-13T01:00:00.623+02:00I'm rather confused by your comment on restore...I'm rather confused by your comment on restored pictures "not being there any more". If you look at the gallery of featured pictures of 2011, you'll notice that more than 2 dozen restorations have reached featured picture status and were hence part of the POTY contest: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2011/Galleries/ALLPeter Weishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12699680190059005416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12046714.post-19331367936950944782012-07-10T21:34:50.256+02:002012-07-10T21:34:50.256+02:00Claiming rights that will not be granted on WMF pr...Claiming rights that will not be granted on WMF projects does not get you anywhere.

I by no means want this imae to be restricted in use - I want it used as widely as possible. This means peopl need to know it is ree to use.<br /><br />We can certanly agree that the ease of gaining rights unde UK copyright law is bad, but it exists. While t exists, I'd rather use it to claim a copyright on my restorations - then release all rights but the acknowledgement and CC-by license that lets people know it is free and how to find it - than to try to fake arease into the Public Domain (it's impossible to do atrue release into PD impossible under UK law!) and thus not request rom thoe bound by UK and similar laws to note the free culture status of the image.Adam C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04180408486073526049noreply@blogger.com
