LA to FA 2022 edit

LA to FA 2022
 

Dear Triciaburmeister,

You're invited to a zoom call, taking place on February 11, with the goal of improving the article on Los Angeles to Featured article status! I often find it daunting to approach the Big Subjects on my own—so if you, like me, want a time to sit down with fellow dedicated editors and tackle something important and complex, this is the zoom for you! I, unfortunately, have no way to transmit snacks over zoom; but I trust you to exercise good judgement and discretion in selecting snacks of your own. Hope to see you there—if you're interested, add your name here!

East German copyright law edit

Hi! I ran into your user page and found the section about the copyright of East German works, and looked it up a bit, because why not. 🙂 What I’ve found:

  • The copyright law of the Federal Republic applies retrospectively to East German works, even if their copyright has already expired by that time in the GDR (Anlage I Kap III E II Nummer 2. § 1 Abs. (1) EinigVtr).
  • While the journals may be press releases according to § 87f Abs. (1) UrhG, as far as I understand these are additional protections, they don’t replace the usual copyright—this section always states rights of publishers (Rechte des Presseverlegers), not copyright (Urheberrecht).
  • The copyright is not transferable (except after death) (§ 29 Abs. (1) UrhG), only usage can be allowed. This means that an organization can never be the author/copyright owner, it’s always the natural person who created it. In case the work is anonymous or pseudonymous, the 70 years apply from the first publication (§ 66 Abs. (1) UrhG).

All in all, copyrights of a photograph taken in the 1960s are certainly not yet expired according to German law, since neither the first publication nor the death of the author could have happened in or before 1951. 🙁 —Tacsipacsi (talk) 14:15, 20 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thank you so much! It is indeed a fascinating topic, eh? I should've noted on my user page that I posted the question on Commons (I'll go add that now). Your conclusions align with what the people there advised (but you had better citations ;-)): https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump/Copyright/Archive/2022/04#Copyright_status_for_photos_of_East_German_periodical_cover Triciaburmeister (talk) 14:26, 20 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
