: About copyright restoration, I think the answer is that copyrights were still restored in [[w:EU-15|EU-15]] if the work was still protected in at least one EU-15 country on 1 July 1995. If a country joined after 1 July 1995, then I believe that you should use the date of accession to the European Union (that is, 1 May 2004, 1 January 2007 or 1 July 2013) instead of the date 1 July 1995 when determining if a work should have its copyright restored or not. On the day before Slovenia joined the European Union, all EU countries still used the rule of the shorter term for Slovenian works (due to it not yet being an EU country), so maybe those works weren't protected anywhere in the European Union at that time and thus didn't need to be restored. The same thing presumably happened with Romania almost three years later.

: About old photos, it seems tricky. The old law said that the building was protected and that you couldn't copy the building in an unrestricted way (for example by constructing an identical building elsewhere). On the other hand, the old law didn't protect the photographic reproduction of the building. This could mean three things: a) You can take and use photos of buildings constructed before the law was changed. b) You can't take any new photos but you can use all old photos. c) You can neither use new photos nor old photos. From a starting point, what exactly happened [http://www.sodisce.si/vislj/odlocitve/35579/ here]? Was the statue made before the law was changed? Was the photo taken before the change of the law? Do we need examples of case law before we will know what to do? --[[User:Stefan4|Stefan4]] ([[User talk:Stefan4|talk]]) 15:01, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

::Thanks for the opinion. This sculpture was made in 1997, after the new act was passed. --[[User:Eleassar|Eleassar]] [[User talk:Eleassar|(t/p)]] 15:54, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
