There's an overview article in the ''British Journal of Photography'' talking about Flickr Commons, which is of course a major sources of PD images: [http://www.bjp-online.com/british-journal-of-photography/report/2250132/shared-history-the-commons-initiative-celebrates-its-fifth-anniversary Shared history: The Commons initiative celebrates its fifth anniversary]. Perhaps of some interest! [[User:Andrew Gray|Andrew Gray]] ([[User talk:Andrew Gray|talk]]) 13:35, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

== Emmy award question ==

+

+
I started to process the permission statement for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Brian_Keane_With_Son_2005_Emmy_Awards.jpg Brian Keane], but I see Stefan is questioning the status, given the award in the photo.

+

+
However, I recall there being a debate about the copyright status of someone receiving the award. In the case of the Oscar award, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Oscar_statuette.jpg here] uploaded as a non-free image. That rationale includes language indicating that photos of the statue are limited with respect to licensing, but that language does not seem clear whether it refers to a stand alone picture of the statuette or of someone holding one.

+

+
The more relevant award [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:EmmyAward.png Emmy], is less clear.

+

+
I tried searching the Village pump, and found [[Commons:Village_pump/Archive/2010/11#Oscar_and_copyright|this]], but the implied restriction may apply to a photo of the statuette by itself.

+

+
I see [[:File:Ernest Borgnine-oscar.jpg]], [[:File:Dana Delany 1992 Emmys retouch.jpg]] and [[:File:Bruce Kennedy.jpg]] which do not constitute proof, but suggest that a photo of an award recipient and the award, as opposed to only the award, may be acceptable. Many others at [[:Category:Emmy Award statuettes]]

+

+
Are such photos acceptable?--[[User:Sphilbrick|Sphilbrick]] ([[User talk:Sphilbrick|talk]]) 18:53, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
