MDR-Bilder

Hallo Theophilius,
könntest du deine Hintergrunderläuterung zu den MDR-RFDs auch auf die jeweilige RFD-Disku kopieren, also z.B. hierhin: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Mbr-titelbildbuch.jpg. --Túrelio (talk) 18:53, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

habe ich gemacht davon sind noch andere bilder betroffen, nun ist wohl mit dem bearbeitenden de.admin zu klären ob sich der ticker nur auf den text oder auch auf bilder bezieht.--Theophilius (talk) 22:26, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

bitte ein blick nach dort--Theophilius (talk) 10:39, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Bildbeschreibungen

Hallo Theophilius, ich habe gerade ein paar deiner Bildbeschreibungen überarbeitet. Hauptsächlich habe ich deinen Text "Eigenes Werk" durch die {{own}} ersetzt und das Datum in das ISO-Format JJJJ-MM-TT umgewandelt. Auf diese Art und Weise werden die Bildbeschreibungen für die Benutzer internationaler Benutzer automatisch in deren Sprache übersetzt, wenn sie dein Bild in "ihrer" Wikipedia anklicken. Ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn du dies zukünftig so beibehalten könntest. Zudem würde ich mich noch immer über einen Stammtischbesuch von dir freuen, z.B. am nächsten MIttwoch. Na, was meinst du? Gruß, --Flominator (talk) 08:50, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Hallo und Danke ! Öhm nur leider kam das etwas verspätet an.--Theophilius (talk) 14:58, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Notifying you of an image removal under the DMCA

Some images that you uploaded to http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Claes_Oldenburg_Wasserhahn_St%C3%BChlingerParkFr.jpg and http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WasserhahnSchlauchStuehlingerPark.jpg were removed based on the receipt of a takedown notice made pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. 512 (the “DMCA”). The Wikimedia Foundation (“WMF”) takes alleged copyright infringement very seriously and carefully examines each takedown notice received and the image in question for compliance with U.S. copyright law. This image was one of 59 photographs included in a DMCA takedown notice received by WMF of various publicly-installed sculptures around the world created by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen.

Some of these sculptures are located in countries that recognize “freedom of panorama” for sculptures, while others are not. Currently, U.S. copyright law does not recognize freedom of panorama for works of art, such as sculptures, and thus the copyright holder of a sculpture has the right to exclude others from publishing images of that sculpture, so long as it still enjoys copyright protection. While it is true that some of the sculptures in question here are located in countries whose copyright regime conflicts with the U.S’s regime, current U.S. conflict of law principles indicate that U.S. copyright law would apply in evaluating the scope of a copyright holder’s rights.

WMF strongly supports a change in U.S. copyright law that would extend freedom of panorama to artwork so that more people can experience beautiful and thought-provoking works of art that they would not otherwise be able to enjoy. However, WMF is a U.S.-based organization that must comply with U.S. laws as they presently exist, including U.S. copyright law, conflict of law principles, and the DMCA.

What can you do?

If you want to express your support for the extension of freedom of panorama to works of art (and you are a resident of the United States), you can write your U.S. senators and/or representative.

If you feel that this particular image does not infringe the alleged copyright holder’s rights, you can contest the takedown notice by submitting a “counter-notice” to us. Before doing so, you should understand your legal position and you may wish to consult with an attorney. If you submit a counter-notice, the alleged copyright holder can stop us from restoring the content by suing you. Please note that WMF will not be a party to any legal action that arises from you sending a counter-notice, and that WMF is unable to provide you with legal advice.

Filing a Counter-Notice

If you choose to submit a counter-notice, you must send a letter to legal@wikimedia.org asking WMF to restore this image. The letter must comply with DMCA standards and must contain the following:

• A link to where the content was before we took it down;
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe the content was taken down mistakenly;
• Your name, address, and phone number;
• If your address is in the United States, a statement that says “I consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court in the district where my address is located, and I will accept service of process from the person who complained about the content I posted”; or if your address is outside the United States, a statement that says “I agree to accept service of process in any jurisdiction where I can be found”; and finally,
• Your physical or electronic signature.

Pursuant to the DMCA, WMF must inform the alleged copyright holder that you sent us a counter-notice and give the alleged copyright holder a copy of the counter-notice. We will restore this image within ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days, provided that the alleged copyright holder does not give notice of suit to restrain re-posting of the material.
