Image:Statue of Tripod.JPG[edit]
I don't think this statue, designed and built by Michael Condron in 1998, is in the public domain, so a photograph of it cannot be released into the public domain. --TomTheHand 17:51, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- According to COM:FOP#United Kingdom, it's legal in England to take photos of statues and publish it under a free license. --91.65.124.74 20:21, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- It is my understanding that there is no objection to publishing a photograph of a work of art. There is no breach of copyright. Gaius Cornelius 20:27, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- Gotcha. I apologize, guys; I'm an American and I wasn't aware that UK law was different in this respect. TomTheHand 13:51, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
- Surely any statue in a public place, is by nature "in the public domain". keep the photo and soneone in the area get another one or two please!
Kept. Per FOP in UK. Does not apply in the U.S., though. Lupo 08:18, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
