No FoP for "graphic works" in Canada A1Cafel (talk) 02:09, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
- It sounds like one needs a lawyer to post a picture. The violation seems to hang on the definition of "graphics". Depending on the definition, I fear a major purge. Could someone please clarify the law on this matter? How was this photo singled out? TheTrolleyPole (talk) 01:35, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
- @TheTrolleyPole: not actually singled out. You may want to look at Category:Canadian FOP cases/pending to have a glance at the 100+ case pages, as the Commons:FOP Canada only covers (for most) 3D works of art, like buildings and sculptures. For other works, you must have authorization from the painter or other artist to publish derivative works of their artwork (images are considered derivative works by the essence of the Berne Convention) under free licensing of Creative Commons or public domain.

- I have a hard time believing that publishing photos of murals in public spaces is a copyright violation. (Freedom of panorama) It seems that even if the mural is in the photo background, it's still a violation! And the distinction between 2D "works of artistic craftsmanship" and 2D "graphic works" seems rather blurry. I wonder if this is a law that's rarely, if ever, enforced outside of Wiki Commons.
