Licences

Stop lying for your licences! You downloaded them from here and here   /FunkyFly.talk_  21:06, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

You are missing the point, these are ancient works, and therefore fall under the PD-Art license because their creators have died over 100 years ago! Please explain to me this image then Image:AlexanderAttackingDarius.jpg, it falls under the same license. Macedonia 21:11, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

No you are missing the point. You cannot steal copyrighted images. Coins are not works of art.   /FunkyFly.talk_  21:14, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

The image of Philip is from a shield, not a coin, and the second image is definately not from a coin. Macedonia 21:16, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Even so, you cannot prove that the author, the person taking the photograph, died more than 100 years ago, which is clearly not the case since the pictures are in color.   /FunkyFly.talk_  21:18, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Eh, Funky, cool it please, no use screaming about "lying". AGF still applies. Macedonia: You are right of course that the coins or whatever ancient objects are out of copyright and hence free in the sense of "PD-Art". But the photographs of the coins are not. The sculptor no longer has a copyright, but the photographer has. Therefore you need to tell us what object it is, where it is, and where and when and by whom the photograph was made.

Additional information: The special exception where you can discount the copyright of the photographer holds only for "slavish copies of 2-dimensional images", and even that only when they were made in the US and a few other countries. Fut.Perf. ☼ 21:21, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
