Burundi

This page provides an overview of copyright rules of Burundi relevant to uploading works into Wikimedia Commons. Note that any work originating in Burundi must be in the public domain, or available under a free license, in both Burundi and the United States before it can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. If there is any doubt about the copyright status of a work from Burundi, refer to the relevant laws for clarification.

Background

Burundi was an independent kingdom until the beginning of the 20th century, when Germany colonised the region. After World War I Germany ceded the territory to Belgium, which administered it as part of the territory of Ruanda-Urundi. Burundi and Rwanda became independent countries in 1962.

Burundi has been a member of the World Trade Organization since 23 July 1995, the Berne Convention since 12 April 2016, and the WIPO treaty since 12 April 2016.[1]

As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed "Law No. 1/021 of December 30, 2005, on the Protection of Copyright and Related Rights in Burundi" as the main copyright law enacted by the legislature of Burundi.[1] WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database.[2]

"Collective work" means a work created on the initiative of a natural person or legal entity who edits, publishes and discloses it under his own direction and in his own name and in which the personal contributions of various authors who take part in the writing of it merge into the whole for which they have been designed, so that it is impossible to attribute to each of them a distinct right over the whole that is created;[Act 1/021 2005 Article 1/k]

  • A collective, audiovisual or posthumous work shall be protected for a period of 50 years from the year in which the work was lawfully published for the first time, or, failing such an event within 50 years from the making of the work, 50 years from the year in which the work was made accessible to the public, or, failing such events within 50 years from the making of the work, 50 years from the year of such making.[Act 1/021 2005 Article 61]

Burundi Act 1/021 2005 Article 25 says:

  • Works in the public domain shall be placed under the protection of the State, represented by the Ministry in charge of culture.
  • The public representation or performance or the direct or indirect fixation of works in the public domain and of works exclusively composed of elements borrowed from works that have fallen into the public domain, with a view to exploitation for profit, are subject to regulations on royalties under conditions that shall be determined by an order of the Ministry in charge of culture.
  • The revenue from the collection of royalties for the use of works in the public domain shall be devoted to social and cultural purposes.

Freedom of panorama

  : the Burundian freedom of panorama is not free enough to allow publications of images of protected works of architecture and public art in commercial media like advertisements and websites, thus does not meet with Commons:Licensing. See also a related discussion here.

Under Burundi Act 1/021 2005 Article 26/4:

  • The reproduction of works of art or of architecture through cinematography or television and the communication of such works to the public if such works are permanently located in a place where they can be viewed by the public or are included in the film or program by way of background or as incidental to the essential matters represented.
  • Similarly, the reproduction of works of architecture through photography, cinematography, television or any other similar process, in addition to the publication of corresponding photographs in the press, periodicals and textbooks, shall be free and may not give rise to copyright payment.


Stamps

Copyrighted Stamps are not included among the types of work for which copyright does not apply.[Act 1/021 2005 Article 7] If the author is known, a stamp would be protected for life + 50 years.[Act 1/021 2005 Article 58] Otherwise, as an anonymous or collective work it would be protected for publication + 50 years.[Act 1/021 2005 Article 60–61]

Comore-szigetek

A lap összefoglalja a Comore-szigetek szerzői jogi szabályozásának a Commons szempontjából releváns részét. A feltöltendő fájlnak mind a Template:Wp-Comores területén, mind az Egyesült Államokban közkincsnek vagy szabad licencűnek kell lennie. Kétség esetén a területi jogszabályok az irányadók.

Háttér

A Comore-szigetek a 19. század végén francia uralom alá kerültek; függetlenségüket 1975-ben nyerték el.

A Comore-szigetek 2005. április 17-e óta a Berni Egyezmény, 2013. május 25-e óta pedig a Bangui Egyezmény.[1]

A 2018-as adatok szerint az ENSZ Szellemi Jogi Világszervezete (WIPO) a Comore-szigetek szerzői jogának tekintetében a Law of March 11, 1957, on Literary and Artistic Property törvényt tekinti irányadónak,[1] melynek szövege megtalálható a WIPO Lex adatbázisban.[2]

Általános szabályok

Az 1957. március 11-i törvény szerint:

  • Az alkotót életében a művéhez fűződő kizárólagos jogok illetik meg; a védelem a halálától számított 50. évig tart.[1957 Article 21]

  2. While Bangui Agreement has a FOP clause, that's for non-commercial purposes only, and only allow stuffs to be reproducted as films.

Eritrea

A lap összefoglalja az eritreai szerzői jogi szabályozásnak a Commons szempontjából releváns részét. A feltöltendő fájlnak mind Eritreában, mind az Egyesült Államokban közkincsnek vagy szabad licencűnek kell lennie. Kétség esetén a területi jogszabályok az irányadók.

Háttér

Olasz Eritrea 1889-ben jött létre az Olasz Királyság gyarmataként. 1941 és 1950 között az ország brit fennhatóság alatt Etiópiával közös szövetséget alkotott. Eritrea 1991-ben vált el Etiópiától és 1993 májusában kiáltotta ki függetlenségét.

A 2018-as adatok szerint az ENSZ Szellemi Jogi Világszervezete (WIPO) az eritreai szerzői jog tekintetében a Provisional Commercial Code of Eritrea and Provisional Civil Code of Eritrea of 1993 (Extracts relating to Intellectual Property rights) törvényt tekinti irányadónak.[1]

Etiópia

This page provides an overview of copyright rules of Ethiopia relevant to uploading works into Wikimedia Commons. Note that any work originating in Ethiopia must be in the public domain, or available under a free license, in both Ethiopia and the United States before it can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. If there is any doubt about the copyright status of a work from Ethiopia, refer to the relevant laws for clarification.

Background

During the late 19th-century Scramble for Africa, Ethiopia was one of two nations to retain its sovereignty from long-term colonialism by a European colonial power, although it was occupied by Italy between 1936 and 1941.

As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed the Copyright and Neighboring Rights Protection Proclamation No. 410/2004 as the main IP law enacted by the legislature of Ethiopia.[1] WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database.[2] The law was amended in some aspects by the Copyright and Neighboring Rights Protection (Amendment) Proclamation No. 872/2014.[3]

Applicability

"Work" means a production in the literary, scientific and Artistic fields. It includes in particular: a) books, booklets, articles in reviews and newspaper, computer programs; b) speeches, lectures, addresses, sermons, and other oral works; c) dramatic, dramatico-musical works, pantomimes, choreographic works, and other works created for stage production; d) musical compositions; e) audiovisual works; f) works of architecture; g) works of drawing, painting, sculpture, engraving, lithography, tapestry, and other works of fine arts; h) photographic works; i) illustrations, maps, plans, sketches, and three dimensional works related to geography, topography, architecture or science.[410/2004 Article 2(30)]

The following are also protected as works: a) translation, adaptations, arrangements and other transformations or modifications of works, b) collection of works such as encyclopedia or anthologies or databases whether in machine readable or other form provided that such collections are original by reason of the selection or arrangement of their contents.[410/2004 Article 4] The author of a work shall be entitled to protection for his work without any formality where it is original and fixed. Photographic works, in addition to the above, shall be protected where they a) form part of a collection or are published in a book or b) bear the name and address of the author or his agent.[410/2004 Article 6]

General rules

Under the Proclamation No. 410/2004 on Copyright and Neighboring Rights Protection (Federal Negarit Gazeta):

  • Economic rights shall belong to the author during his lifetime and to the heirs or legatees for 50 years from the date of death of the author.[410/2004 Article 20/1]
  • In case of a work of joint authorship, the term of 50 years shall commence from the death of the last surviving author.[410/2004 Article 20/2]
  • The term of 50 years of a posthumous work shall commence to run from the date of publication of the work.[410/2004 Article 20/3]
  • Where the work is a work of collective work, other than an audiovisual work, the economic rights shall be protected for 50 years from the date on which the work was either made or first made available to the public, or first published, whichever date is the latest.[410/2004 Article 20/4]
  • Where the work is a work published anonymously or under a pseudonym, the economic rights shall be protected for 50 years from the date on which the work was either made or first made available to the public or first published, whichever date is the latest.[410/2004 Article 20/5]
  • The economic rights relating to a photographic work shall be protected for 25 years from the making of the work.[410/2004 Article 20/7]
  • The economic rights relating to an audiovisual work shall be protected for 50 years beginning from the date of making of the work or communication of the work to the public, whichever date is the latest.[410/2004 Article 20/8]
  • Any official text of a legislative, administrative or of legal nature, as well as official translations thereof, is not protected.[410/2004 Article 5(b)]

Commissioned works

Under the Proclamation No. 410/2004 on Copyright and Neighboring Rights Protection (Federal Negarit Gazeta):

  • Where the work is a work created by an author employed or Commissioned by a person in the course of his employment or contract of service, unless agreed otherwise, the original owner of the rights shall be the employer or the person who commissioned the work.[410/2004 Article 21/4]

Lack of treaties

Copyright tags

  • {{PD-Ethiopia}} – copyright term is generally 50 years after the author's death, or from the making of an audiovisual work or communication of said work to the public, whichever date is the latest. Copyright of a photographic work is 25 years from the making of the work.[410/2004 Article 20/1,7,8]

Currency

  . Ethiopia's copyright law excepts "any official text of a legislative, administrative or of legal nature, as well as official translations thereof".[410/2004 Article 5(b)] The term "official text" does not seem to include banknotes. Note that, as of May 2016, Ethiopia is not a party to the Berne Convention, so Ethiopian banknotes are not protected by US copyright law. However, Commons' policy is that works must be free in both the US and the source country.

Freedom of panorama

  . {{NoFoP-Ethiopia}} Ethiopian law includes buildings and sculptures and fine arts works among the works subject to rights of copyright (Part 1 - article 3 : Scope of application ) and there is no "freedom of panorama" exception.

Note that due to lack of a copyright treaty, most works from Ethiopia are in the public domain in the United States and most other countries. However, files uploaded to Commons must also be free in the country of origin.

Stamps

. There are no specific laws on the copyright status of stamps. Ethiopian stamps are in the public domain 50 years after the date of issue, per the Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Protection Proclamation No. 410/2004, which states that "Economic rights shall belong to the author during his lifetime and to the heirs or legatees for fifty years from the date of death of the author" (Art. 20) and "The economic rights relating to an audiovisual work shall be protected for fifty years beginning from the date of making of the work or communication of the work to the public, which ever date is the latest."

Madagaszkár

A lap összefoglalja a madagaszkári szerzői jogi szabályozásnak a Commons szempontjából releváns részét. A feltöltendő fájlnak mind Madagaszkáron, mind az Egyesült Államokban közkincsnek vagy szabad licencűnek kell lennie. Kétség esetén a területi jogszabályok az irányadók.

Háttér

Madagaszkár 1897-től francia gyarmat; függetlenségét 1960-ban nyerte el.

Madagaszkár 1966. január 1-je óta a Berni Egyezmény, 1995. november 17-e óta a Kereskedelmi Világszervezet, 2025. február 24-e óta pedig a Bangui Egyezmény tagja.[1]

A 2018-as adatok szerint az ENSZ Szellemi Jogi Világszervezete (WIPO) a Burkina Fasó-i szerzői jog tekintetében a Law No. 94-036 of September 18, 1995, on Literary and Artistic Property törvényt tekinti irányadónak,[2] melynek szövege megtalálható a WIPO Lex adatbázisban.[3] A szabálykönyv a Law No. 57-298 of March 11, 1957, on Literary and Artistic Property törvényt váltotta fel.

Általános szabályok

A Law No. 94-036 of 18 September 1995 on Literary and Artistic Property szerint:

  • A művek szerzői joga az alkotó élete alatt csak őt illet; halála után 70 évig az örökösök rendelkezhetnek vele.[94-036/1995 Article 52]
  • Közös munka eredményeképp létrejött alkotások esetén a védelem az utoljára elhunyt szerző halálától számítandó.[94-036/1995 Article 53]
  • Ismeretlen vagy álnéven dolgozó szerző alkotásai esetén a jogvédelem a kiadást követő év január 1-jétől 70 esztendőig áll fenn.[94-036/1995 Article 54]
  • Folyóiratok esetén az 52-es cikkelyt az egyes számokra külön, és nem a sorozat egészére kell érteni.[94-036/1995 Article 55]
  • Posztumusz alkotások jogvédelme a kiadást követő év január 1-jétől 70 esztendőig áll fenn.[94-036/1995 Article 56]

Panorámaszabadság

   Madagaszkáron a Law No. 94-036 of 18 September 1995 on Literary and Artistic Property alapján nincs a Commons szempontjából elfogadható panorámaszabadság: „ […] az alkotó engedélye és díjfizetés nélkül engedélyezett a sokszorosítás, reprodukció, […] vagy a nyilvánosság felé való kommunikáció: építészeti, szépművészeti, fotografikai és iparművészeti alkotások esetén, ha azok nyilvános helyen állandó jelleggel találhatóak meg; kivéve, ha a kép a mű elsődleges témája, illetve a kereskedelmi felhasználás sem engedélyezett.[94-036/1995 Article 48]

There is no Commons-usable freedom of panorama in Madagascar, as per Law No. 94-036 of 18 September 1995 on Literary and Artistic Property: "... it shall be permitted, without authorization from the author and without payment of remuneration, to reproduce, ... or to communicate by cable to the public an image of a work of architecture, a work of fine art, a photographic work and a work of applied art that is permanently located in a place open to the public, save where the image of the work is the main subject of this reproduction, broadcast or communication and where it is not used for commercial purposes".[94-036/1995 Article 48]

Malawi

This page provides an overview of copyright rules of Malawi relevant to uploading works into Wikimedia Commons. Note that any work originating in Malawi must be in the public domain, or available under a free license, in both Malawi and the United States before it can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. If there is any doubt about the copyright status of a work from Malawi, refer to the relevant laws for clarification.

Background

The region to the west and south of Lake Nyasa (now Lake Malawi) was colonized by the British in 1891 and became the protectorate of Nyasaland. In 1953 Malawi joined the semi-independent Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, which was dissolved in 1963. In 1964 Nyasaland became an independent country.

Malawi has been a member of the Berne Convention since 12 October 1991 and the World Trade Organization since 31 May 1995.[1]

As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed the Copyright Act, 2016 (Act No. 26 of 2016) as the main IP law enacted by the legislature of Malawi.[1] WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database.[2] The 2016 act replaced and repealed the Copyright Act, 1989 (as amended on July 1, 2001).[3] The provisions appear to be retroactive: "Any subsidiary legislation made under the repealed Act in force immediately before the commencement of this Act shall remain in force unless in conflict with this Act ...[26/2016 Section 120]

General rules

According to the Malawian Copyright Act of 1989, the copyright terms of Malawi were as follows:[3]

  • Photographic works: 25 years since the end of the year of first publication. Note that the 2016 act does not specify a duration for photographs, which are considered "artistic works" and so would now be protected for life + 50 years.
  • Audio-visual work: 50 years since the end of the year in which it was first made available to the public
  • Works by individual authors: 50 years since the end of the year of the author's death
  • Works by anonymous, corporate, or government authors: 50 years from the date of publication

Under the Copyright Act, 2016,

  • Works are protected during the life of the author and for 50 years after his death.[26/2016 Section 35(1a)]
  • For a work of joint ownership, during the life of the last surviving author and for 50 years after his death.[26/2016 Section 35(1b)]
  • For anonymous or pseudonymous works, for a period of 50 years from the date on which such work was first published or otherwise lawfully made available to the public, whichever date is the latest, or if the work has not thus been made available to the public within 50 years of it having been created, for a period of 50 years from the date on which the work was created.[26/2016 Section 35(1c)]
  • For an audio­visual work, until the expiration of 50 years from the date on which such work is first published or otherwise made available to the public with the consent of the author, whichever date is the latest, or if the work has not thus been made available to the public within 50 years from the making of the work, for 50 years from the making of the work.[26/2016 Section 35(1d)]
  • For a work owned by the Government, for 50 years from the date on which the work was first made available to the public, or, if the work has not thus been made available to the public within 50 years from the making of the work, 50 years from the making of the work.[26/2016 Section 35(1e)]
  • For a work of applied art which is subject to production on an industrial scale, until the expiration of 25 years from the date on which the work was first published, or, if the work has not been published within 50 years of it having been made, for a period of 50 years from the date on which the work was made.[26/2016 Section 35(1f)]

Every period specified in this section shall run to the end of the calendar year in which it would otherwise expire.[26/2016 Section 35(2)]

Expressions of folklore: not free

Copyright in expressions of folklore shall vest in perpetuity in the Government on behalf of, and for the benefit of the people of Malawi.[26/2016 Section 67(1)] The following uses of the expressions of folklore shall be subject to prior written authorization by the Minister when they are made for gainful purposes or outside their traditional and customary context: any publication, reproduction and any distribution of copies of expressions of folklore; or any communication to the public, including recitation, performance, broadcasting or distribution by cable, of expressions of folklore.[26/2016 Section 68] Authorization of any use of expressions of folklore may be general or specific and may be granted upon application in writing to the Minister.[26/2016 Section 71(1)]

Freedom of panorama

 Not OK, noncommercial only.

Reproduction of a work and making available to the public of any work that can be seen or heard in the course of a current event, for the purpose of reporting on the current event, by means of photography, cinematography or other means of communication, is permitted to the extent justified for an informative purpose.[26/2016 Section 45] Reproduction and making available to the public by photography, cinematography, drawing or similar means of depiction of an artistic work is permitted when the work is

(a) included in the picture or recording by way of background or as incidental, to the essential matters represented;
(b) a work of architecture in the form of a building; or
(c) a work of art permanently located in a place outdoors where it can be viewed by the public:

Mozambik

This page provides an overview of copyright rules of Mozambique relevant to uploading works into Wikimedia Commons. Note that any work originating in Mozambique must be in the public domain, or available under a free license, in both Mozambique and the United States before it can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. If there is any doubt about the copyright status of a work from Mozambique, refer to the relevant laws for clarification.

Background

The Portuguese began a gradual process of colonisation and settlement of the Mozambique region in 1505. Mozambique gained independence on 25 June 1975.

Mozambique has been a member of the Berne Convention since 22 November 2013 and the World Trade Organization since 26 August 1995.[1]

As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed Law No. 4/2001 of February 27, 2001 (Copyright Law) as the main copyright law enacted by the legislature of Mozambique.[1] WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database. It repeals and replaces the Code of Copyright approved by Decree-Law No. 46,980 of April 27, 1966.[2][3]

The 2001 law appears to be retroactive: "The Code of Copyright, approved by Decree-Law No. 46,980 of April 27, 1966, enacted in Mozambique by Governmental Decree No. 679/71 of December 7, and all legislation that contradicts this Law, is hereby repealed".[4/2001 Article 78]

General rules

Under Law No. 4/2001 of 27 February 2001,

  • The protection of economic rights shall expire 70 years after the death of the author, even in the case of a work disclosed or published posthumously.[4/2001 Article 22(1)]
  • The economic rights in a work of joint authorship are protected during the lifetime of the last surviving author, and for a further 70 years following his death.[4/2001 Article 23]
  • The economic rights in a work published anonymously or under a pseudonym are protected for 70 years from the date on which the work is legally published for the first time.[4/2001 Article 24(1)]
  • The economic rights in a collective work and in an audiovisual work are protected for 70 years after the work is lawfully made public or after its completion.[4/2001 Article 25]
  • The economic rights in a work of applied art are protected for 70 years from its completion.[4/2001 Article 26]

For the above rules, the counting of periods starts on the first of January of the calendar year following the event that gave rise to the right in question and ends at the close of the calendar year in which the period would normally reach its conclusion.[4/2001 Article 27]

There is no copyright protection for "official texts of a legislative, administrative or judicial nature, or official translations thereof".[4/2001 Article 5a]

Works of folklore

Lásd még: Commons:Paying public domain

"Folklore" means works created on the national territory by anonymous authors or an unknown group, transmitted by successive generations and constituting one of the fundamental elements of the traditional cultural heritage.[4/2001 Glossary 15] "Expressions of folklore" means productions of elements characteristic of the traditional artistic heritage, developed and perpetuated by a community or by individuals and recognized as responding to the wishes of that community, including popular songs, dances and shows, as well as the artistic expression of rituals and productions of folk art.[4/2001 Glossary 13]

Ownership of the copyright in works of folklore vests in the State, which shall exercise its rights through the Council of Ministers, without prejudice to the rights of those who collect, transcribe, arrange or translate them, provided that the collections, arrangements or translations are original and respect the authenticity of the works.[4/2001 Article 31] The protection of works of folklore is not limited in time.[4/2001 Article 50]

Currency

  . Under Law No. 4/2001 of 27 February 2001 there are no exceptions to copyright protection for works which were already in the public domain. Banknotes are not within the exceptions to copyright. There is a copyright exception for "official texts of a legislative, administrative or judicial nature, or to official translations thereof".[4/2001 Article 5a] Because the exception uses "text", banknotes do not seem to be within the exception.

Copyright protection for collective works, such as banknotes, lasts 70 years under Mozambique law and also under US law, since Mozambique is a party to the Berne Convention. Since that is long before Mozambique gained independence, all Mozambique banknotes are copyrighted. For banknotes that circulated before independence, Portuguese law applies.

Freedom of panorama

  . for reproductions, broadcasts and cable communications to the public executed in the Republic of Mozambique (since 25 June 1975) There is only non-commercial freedom of panorama in Mozambique:

  • It is permitted, without authorization by the author or payment of any remuneration, to reproduce, broadcast or communicate by cable to the public the image of a work of architecture, three-dimensional art, photography or applied art that is permanently located in a place open to the public, except where the image of the work is the principal subject of such reproduction or broadcast or communication and is used for commercial purposes.[4/2001 Article 15]
  • It is permitted ... to reproduce or make available to the public for the purposes of reporting current events by means of photography, cinematography or video, or by broadcasting or communication by cable to the public, to the extent justified by the informatory purpose, a work seen or heard during the said event.[4/2001 Article 14(b)]

The 2001 copyright law of Mozambique appears to be retroactive. In case it is not, the applicable law would be the previous 1966 copyright law, which allows FOP (see below). Therefore, the status of reproductions, broadcasts and cable communications to the public executed before 28 May 2001 is undetermined.

  for photos executed in the Portuguese territory of Mozambique (before 25 June 1975)

Mozambique was considered Portuguese territory before its independence in 25 June 1975, and current jurisprudence generally use Portuguese law to deal with actions executed in former Portuguese overseas territories before that date. Examples: 02S3074,JTRL00024225, JTRL00024030, 7189/2003-4, 0451/05. Related discussion here.

The applicable law was Decreto-Lei n.º 46980, de 27 de Abril de 1966 which allowed FOP:

  • The reproduction and publication by the press, cinema, television or any other mean, of the image of works of architecture or any other kind of plastic arts already divulged by the author is free.[46980/1966 Art.152]

Current consensus on Wikimedia Commons holds that the pre-1975 actions that can be referred to in the context of freedom of panorama are the uses of the images, not the completions or public displays of the architecture or artistic works themselves. This means pre-1975 images of copyrighted Mozambican architecture and artistic works can be hosted here under commercial licenses, not post-1975 images of the same works. Related discussion here.

Stamps

Copyrighted Mozambique copyright law instituted in 2001 states that copyright subsists for 70 years following completion for "works of applied art" which appears to cover stamps.

Ruanda

This page provides an overview of copyright rules of Rwanda relevant to uploading works into Wikimedia Commons. Note that any work originating in Rwanda must be in the public domain, or available under a free license, in both Rwanda and the United States before it can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. If there is any doubt about the copyright status of a work from Rwanda, refer to the relevant laws for clarification.

Background

Germany colonised Rwanda in 1884 as part of German East Africa. After World War I Germany ceded the territory to Belgium, which administered it as part of the territory of Ruanda-Urundi. Burundi and Rwanda became independent countries in 1962.

Rwanda has been a member of the Berne Convention since 1 March 1984 and the World Trade Organization since 22 May 1996.[1]

As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed Law No. 31/2009 of 26/10/2009 on the Protection of Intellectual Property as the main IP law enacted by the legislature of Rwanda.[1] WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database.[2] The law is retroactive: "Repeal of former provisions contrary to this Law ... the Law No 27/1983 of November 15th, 1983 governing the copyrights ... and any other former legal provisions contrary to this Law are hereby repealed".[31/2009 Article 294]

General rules

Seychelle-szigetek

This page provides an overview of copyright rules of the Seychelles relevant to uploading works into Wikimedia Commons. Note that any work originating in the Seychelles must be in the public domain, or available under a free license, in both the Seychelles and the United States before it can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. If there is any doubt about the copyright status of a work from the Seychelles, refer to the relevant laws for clarification.

Background

Britain assumed control of the Seychelles upon the surrender of Mauritius in 1810, formalised in 1814 at the Treaty of Paris. The Seychelles became a crown colony separate from Mauritius in 1903. The Seychelles became independent on 29 June 1976.

The Seychelles has been a member of the World Trade Organization since 26 April 2015, as well as various other international treaties.[1]

As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed the "Copyright Act, 2014 (Act No. 5 of 2014)" as the main IP law enacted by the legislature of the Seychelles.[1] WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database.[2]

This act repealed the Copyright Act (Cap 58) of 31 March 1984.[5/2014 Section 38(1)] However, any right, privilege, obligation or liability acquired, accrued or incurred under the repealed Act shall continue to subsist.[5/2014 Section 38(2c)]

General rules

According to the earlier Copyright Act, Chapter 51, enacted 1984, amended 1991, a work first published in the Seychelles is now in the public domain if it meets one of the following criteria:

  • It is an anonymous work or pseudonymous work and 25 years have passed since the year of its publication
  • It is a sound recording and 50 years have passed since the date of its creation
  • It is a photographic work or film and 25 years have passed since the year of its publication
  • It is literary, musical or artistic work other than photograph and 25 years have passed since the year of death of the author (or last-surviving author)
  • It is a government work and 25 years have passed since the year of its publication

According to the more recent Copyright Act, 2014, which does not appear to be retroactive,

  • The economic and moral rights shall be protected during the life of the author and for 50 years after his or her death.[5/2014 Section 19(1)]
  • In the case of a work of joint authorship, the economic and moral rights shall be protected during the life of the last surviving author and for fifty years after his or her death.[5/2014 Section 19.(2)]
  • In the case of an audio-visual work, the economic and moral rights shall be protected for 50 years from the date on which the work was made or first made available to the public by publication or by any other means, whichever date is the latest.[5/2014 Section 19.(3)]
  • In the case of a work published anonymously or under a pseudonym, the economic and moral rights shall be protected for 50 years from the date on which the work was made or first made available to the public, by publication or by any other means whichever date is the latest.[5/2014 Section 19.(4)]
  • In the case of a work of applied art, the economic and moral rights shall be protected for 25 years from the making of the work.[5/2014 Section 19.(5)]

The period provided for·under subsections (1) to (5) shall run to the end of the calendar year in which it would otherwise expire.[5/2014 Section 19.(6)]

Copyright tags

a) photographs and films 25 years after first publication;
b) sound recordings 25 years after creation;
c) literary, musical or artistic works other than photographs 25 years after the author's death.

Freedom of panorama

  •  Not OK for depictions (like photos and videos) of artistic works published on Wikimedia Commons on or after August 1, 2014. {{NoFoP-Seychelles}}
  •   for depictions of artistic works published on Wikimedia Commons until July 31, 2014. {{FoP-Seychelles}}

The Seychelles Copyright Act of 1991 sets forth that "4. The reproduction, distribution of copies or inclusion in a film or broadcast of an artistic work permanently on view to the public" are "acts not controlled by copyright." (Schedule 1; Sections 10, 11 12 (sic) and 13).

There is no comparable provision in the 2014 act, as well as the original 1991 term seems removed by this revision. The 2014 act took effect on August 1, 2014. However, a transitional clause exists at 38(2)(b): "the licences or authorisation granted under the repealed Act shall continue to operate as licences or authorisation, as the case may be, for the purposes of this Act, until the expiration or revocation of such licence or authorisation." This indicates the freedom of panorama licence granted by the old copyright act is still in effect for representations made before the aforementioned date, and images that were uploaded on Wikimedia Commons before the aforementioned date are still permitted.

Szomália

A lap összefoglalja a szomáliai szerzői jogi szabályozásnak a Commons szempontjából releváns részét. A feltöltendő fájlnak mind Szomáliában, mind az Egyesült Államokban közkincsnek vagy szabad licencűnek kell lennie. Kétség esetén a területi jogszabályok az irányadók.

Háttér

A 19. század végén a brit és olasz birodalmak kijelölték Brit Szomáliföld és Olasz Szomáliföld területét. Az olasz részt 1941-től egy brit militarista vezetés uralta. 1949-ben Olasz-Szomáliföld olasz vezetéssel ENSZ-gyámterület lett. A két régió 1960. július 1-ji egyesülésével létrejött a független Szomáliai Köztársaság, majd 1991. május 18-án a korábbi brit fennhatóságú terület önhatalmúlag kikáltotta a függetlenséget.

A brit oldalon a 1911 Copyright Act, majd később a Copyright Act 1956, az olasz oldalon pedig az olaszországi jogszabályok voltak érvényben. A két különálló törvénykönyv 1977-ig volt érvényben, amikor a független Szomália elfogadta első szerzői jogi törvényét (Copyright Law, Law No. 66 of 7 September 1977).[1] Az 1977-es törvény betartását nem ellenőrzik széles körűen, és azt sem tudni, Szomáliföldön mennyire érvényesek az abban foglaltak.[1]

A 2018-as adatok szerint az ENSZ Szellemi Jogi Világszervezete (WIPO) a szomáliai szerzői jog tekintetében nem tart nyilván egy törvényt sem.[2] Az Oktatási, Kulturális és Turisztikai Minisztérium 2017 júniusában honlapján közzétett a szerzői jogra vonatkozó rendeletet.[3] A szabályzat nem említ időtartamokat és nem egyértelmű.[4]

Az USA Szerzői Jogi HIvatala a szerzői jogi kapcsolatok tekintetében a „nincs” helyett a „bizonytalan” szót használja.[5]

Általános szabályok

A 1977 Copyright Law - Law No. 66 of 7 September 1977 törvény szerint Szomália a regisztrált művek esetén meghatároz védelmi időket, azonban az alkotások regisztrálását végző szervezet már nem létezik. A rendelkezésre álló források szerint a szerzői jogi hivatal az 1991-es polgárháborúban megsemmisült. Korábban az alábbi időtartamok voltak életben:

  • A regisztrált irodalmi, művészeti és tudományos alkotások a szerző haláláltól számított 30 évig védendőek.[6/1977 (Art.24)]
  • Közös munka eredményeképp létrejött alkotások esetén a 30 évet az utoljára elhunyt szerző halálától kell számolni.[6/1977 (Art.24.2)]
  • Ismeretlen vagy álnéven dolgozó szerző művének jogi védelme a regisztrációs adatbázisban szereplő dátumtól számolandó.[6/1977 (Art.25)]
  • Az alkotó halála után publikált művek védelmi ideje a közzététel dátumától számolandó.

[6]

  • The copyright of (registered) literary and artistic and scientific works shall be protected during the life of the author and for a further period of 30 years after his death.[6/1977 (Art.24)]
  • In the case of joint works, the copyright shall be protected up to 30 years after the death of the last surviving author.[6/1977 (Art.24.2)]
  • Works whose authors are not known or were published anonymously or under pseudonyms shall enjoy protection from the date when the unknown name or the real name of the author is found in the Copyright Register.[6/1977 (Art.25)]
  • Works undertaken after the death of an author shall enjoy protection from the date of their publication.

Freedom of panorama

  • De facto:  Unsure
  • De jure:   .

The list of exceptions or limitations to copyright in Law No. 66 of 7 September 1977, Sections 33–35, does not include a freedom of panorama provision. For artistic works, Section 35 states these can only be used freely for personal or educational purposes (thus non-commercial uses of artistic works).

However, in practice there are no protected architecture and public artistic works in Somalia, as the law required registration for these to be protected by copyright, granting a short 30-year copyright duration. There is no longer anywhere to register copyrights; records indicate of a copyright office that existed before being destroyed in the civil war in 1991.

Szomáliföld

Limited international recognition

Szomáliföld Észak-Szomáliában helyezkedik el. Az állam vezetői 1991-ben kiáltották ki függetlenségüket, de nemzetközileg Szomália autonóm területének tekintik.

Background

A 19. század végén a brit és olasz birodalmak kijelölték Brit Szomáliföld és Olasz Szomáliföld területét. Az olasz részt 1941-től egy brit militarista vezetés uralta. 1949-ben Olasz-Szomáliföld olasz vezetéssel ENSZ-gyámterület lett.

Somaliland and Somalia are not signatory to the Berne Convention or any treaty with the United States, so works from Somaliland may be freely used in the United States. To qualify for Wikimedia Commons they must also be free of copyright in Somaliland. Given the uncertain status, under the precautionary principle they must be free of copyright under the law of Somalia and the law of Somaliland.

General rules

According to the 1977 Copyright Law - Law No. 66 of 7 September 1977, Somali law includes copyright protection only for registered works. However, there is no longer anywhere to register copyrights. There are records of a copyright office existing prior to being destroyed in the civil war in 1991. Durations were:

Dél-Szudán

A lap összefoglalja a dél-szudáni szerzői jogi szabályozásnak a Commons szempontjából releváns részét. A feltöltendő fájlnak mind Dél-Szudánban, mind az Egyesült Államokban közkincsnek vagy szabad licencűnek kell lennie. Kétség esetén a területi jogszabályok az irányadók.

Jogszabályok

Dél-Szudán 2011. július 9-én függetlenedett a Szudáni Köztársaságtól.[1] A dél-szudáni alkotmány 198-as cikkelye szerint az ország törvényei az új szabályok elfogadásáig érvényben maradnak. A 2009-es Investment Promotion Act 35-ös szakasza szerint „a kormánynak védenie kell a dél-szudáni polgárok és befektetők szellemi jogát, és a védjegyekhez, szerzői jogokhoz, szabadalmakhoz, valamint más szellemi termékekhez kapcsolódó szabályokat be kell tartatnia azon nemzetközi esetekben, ahol a Szudáni Köztársaság volt az aláíró”.[2]

A 2018-as adatok szerint az ENSZ Szellemi Jogi Világszervezete (WIPO) Dél-Szudán szerzői jogának tekintetében a Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Protection Act 1996 törvényt tekinti irányadónak,[3] melynek szövege megtalálható a WIPO Lex adatbázisban.[4]

Általános szabályok

Az 1996-os törvény szerint:

  • Az alkotásokhoz kapcsolódó gazdasági jog védelme az alkotó halálától számított 50. évig tart.[1996 Section 13(2)]
  • A védelem a kiadástól számított 25 évig tart az alábbi esetekben:
    • Fotók, filmek és más audiovizuális alkotások[1996 Section 13(3a)]
    • Az alkotó halála óta először megjelentetett művek[1996 Section 13(3b)]
    • Ismeretlen vagy álnéven dolgozó szerző művei esetén, ilyenkor az időtartam az első publikációtól számítandó[1996 Section 13(3c)]
    • Közös munka eredményeképp létrejött alkotásoknál, itt az időtartam az utoljára elhunyt szerző halálától számítandó.[1996 Section 13(4)]

Treaty status

Freedom of panorama

   Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Protection Act 1996, article 14 covers restrictions on copyright, i.e. cases where copyright protection does not apply. It states that "newspapers, magazines, periodicals, radio and television may: ... (c) publish or convey any photograph taken on the occasion of a public event or a photograph concerning an official or famous person; in all such cases the title of the work reproduced and the name of its author shall be mentioned." This does not allow other uses of photographs, e.g. for outdoor advertising, so would not be acceptable for Commons.

Note that due to lack of a copyright treaty, most works from South Sudan are in the public domain in the United States and most other countries. However, files uploaded to Commons must also be free in the country of origin.

Tanzánia

This page provides an overview of copyright rules of Tanzania relevant to uploading works into Wikimedia Commons. Note that any work originating in Tanzania must be in the public domain, or available under a free license, in both Tanzania and the United States before it can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. If there is any doubt about the copyright status of a work from Tanzania, refer to the relevant laws for clarification.

Background

In the late 19th century Germany formed German East Africa, which became the British colony of Tanganyika after World War I. Zanzibar was a separate colonial jurisdiction. Following their respective independence in 1961 and 1963, the two entities merged in April 1964 to form the United Republic of Tanzania.

Tanzania has been a member of the Berne Convention since 25 July 1994 and the World Trade Organization since 1 January 1995.[1]

As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed the Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Act, 1999 as the main copyright law enacted by the legislature of Tanzania.[1] WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database.[2] The Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Act, 1999 became operational from December, 31, 1999.[3][4]

Special laws apply to works originating in Zanzibar, which are covered by the Zanzibar Copyright Act, 2003.[5]

General rules

Prior to 1966 {{PD-UKGov}} applies.[6] The general copyright term, both before and after independence, is 50 years after the death of the last surviving author.

Under the 1999 Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Act a work first published in Tanzania is now in the public domain if it meets one of the following criteria:

  • It is an anonymous work or pseudonymous work and 50 years have passed since the date of its publication (or creation, whatever date is the latest)
  • It is an audiovisual work, and 50 years have passed since the date of its publication (or creation, whatever date is the latest)
  • It is a work of applied art and 25 years have passed since the date of its creation
  • It is another kind of work, and 50 years have passed since the year of death of the author (or last-surviving author)
  • It is one of "laws and decisions of courts and administrative bodies as well as to official translations therefore"

For all post 1999 cases {{PD-Tanzania}} would apply.

Freedom of panorama

  • Outside of Zanzibar:    for photographs ("still images"),   for audio-visual works ("moving images or videos", use {{FoP-Tanzania}} only for the latter purposes)
  • In Zanzibar:    except for photographs of public "folklore"

According to article 12 (6) of the "Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Act" (1999), reproduction of works of art and works of architecture is permitted in audio-visual and video recordings, if the work is permanently located in a place where it can be viewed by the public.

Per Part I, Preliminary provisions, ""audiovisual work" means a work that consists of a series of related images which impart the impression of motion, with or without accompanying sounds, susceptible of being made visible, and where accompanied by sounds, susceptible of being made audible."

Zanzibar, which is part of Tanzania, has a separate copyright law, the Zanzibar Copyright Act, 2003. It does not allow for a free reproduction of works in public premises, except for the works of folklore that are permanently located in a place visible by the public (Article 29-II). In this case, it may be reproduced in the form of a photograph, a film or a television broadcasting.

The United Kingdom copyright act was introduced in Uganda in January 1953, and was not subsequently updated to reflect changes in UK law. The 1953 law formed the basis for the Copyright Act of 1964.[2] The 1964 act was replaced by the 2006 act, effective 4 August 2006.[3] As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed the The Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Act, 2006 as the main IP law enacted by the legislature of Uganda.[1] WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database.[3]

A lap összefoglalja a zambiai szerzői jogi szabályozásnak a Commons szempontjából releváns részét. A feltöltendő fájlnak mind Zambiában, mind az Egyesült Államokban közkincsnek vagy szabad licencűnek kell lennie. Kétség esetén a területi jogszabályok az irányadók.

Háttér

Zambia a 19. század végén Barotseföld–Észak–Nyugat-Rodézia, illetve Észak–Kelet Rodézia brit protektorátusai let, amelyek 1911-ben Észak-Rodézia néven egyesültek. Zambia 1964. október 24-én vált függetlenné.

Zamba 1992. január 2-a óta a Berni Egyezmény, 1995. január 1-je óta pedig a Kereskedelmi Világszervezet tagja.[1]

A 2018-as adatok szerint az ENSZ Szellemi Jogi Világszervezete (WIPO) a zambiai szerzői jog tekintetében a 2010-es Szerzői és kapcsolódó jogok törvényt tekinti irányadónak,[1] melynek szövege megtalálható a WIPO Lex adatbázisban.[2] A szabályzatot a 2010. évi 25-ös törvény módosította, azonban a változtatások inkább a jogsértésekre vonatkoznak.[3]

Általános szabályok

Az 1994-es Copyright and Performance Rights Act 2010-es módosításai szerint:

  • Ha a szabályok máshogy nem rendelkeznek, az irodalmi, zenei és művészeti alkotások szerzői jogi védelme az alkotó halálától számított 50. évig tart.[1994-2010 Section 12(1)]
  • Ha a művet egy kormányzati alkalmazott készítette munkavégzés közben, és az elsődleges jogtulajdonos a kormány, az alkotás jogvédelme a létrehozás évének végétől számított 50. esztendőig tart.[1994-2010 Section 12(2)]
  • Ismeretlen szerző műve a közzététel évének végétől számított 50. évig érvényes, kivéve ha ez idő alatt az alkotó kilétére fény derült.[1994-2010 Section 12(3)]
  • Közös munka eredményeképp létrejött alkotások védelmi ideje az utoljára elhunyt szerző halálától számítandó.[1994-2010 Section 12(4)]
  • Audiovizuális művek és hangfelvételek jogi védettsége a létrehozástól számított 50. évig tart; ha ez idő alatt publikálták, akkor a védettség a kiadástól számítandó.[1994-2010 Section 13]
  • Műsorok jogi védettsége az első adásba kerüléstől számított 50. évig áll fenn.[1994-2010 Section 14]

Pénz

   A bankjegyek és érmék jogvédettek, azokra a kormányzati alkalmazottak által létrehozott művekre vonatkozó szabályok érvényesek. Az 1994-es törvény szerint az ilyen alkotások tulajdonosa a kormány, a védelem pedig a létrehozástól számított 50. évig tart.[1994-2010 Section 12(2)]

Panorámaszabadság

   A szerzői jogi törvény 2., 8. és 17. számú szakaszai alapján az építészeti alkotások jogvédettek lehetnek; a 21-es szakasz rendelkezik a véletlen megjeleítésről, azonban a panorámaszabadságról nem.

Artistic works are objects of copyright according to section 8 of the Copyright and Performance Rights Act, 1994. An artistic work is defined under section 2, and includes paintings, drawings and engravings (a); works of sculpture (c); works of architecture (d); and photographs (e). Exclusive right of the copyright owner over these works is guaranteed at section 17.

Section 21(h) of the law provides an exception for "incidental inclusion of a work in an artistic work, audiovisual work, broadcast or cable program," but no freedom of panorama.

Háttér

The British South Africa Company demarcated the present territory during the 1890s. It became the self-governing British colony of Southern Rhodesia in 1923. In 1965 the white minority government unilaterally declared independence as Rhodesia. After a lengthy guerrilla war the state gained sovereignty as Zimbabwe in April 1980.

Zimbabwe 1980. április 18-a óta a Berni Egyezmény, 1995. március 5-e óta pedig a Kereskedelmi Világszervezet tagja.[1]

A 2018-as adatok szerint az ENSZ Szellemi Jogi Világszervezete (WIPO) Zimbabwe szerzői jogának tekintetében a 2004-es Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Act (Chapter 26:05) törvényt tekinti irányadónak,[2] melynek szövege megtalálható a WIPO Lex adatbázisban.[3]

  • With a work of joint authorship, references to the death of an author refer to the author who dies last.[Cap.26:05/2004 Section 15.4]
