The copyright of this image has expired in the European Union because it was published more than 70 years ago without a public claim of authorship (anonymous or pseudonymous), and no subsequent claim of authorship was made in the 70 years following its first publication.
To use this template, the image must meet both of the following two conditions:
published over 70 years ago, and
the original author's actual identity was not publicly disclosed in connection with this image within 70 years following its publication.
Images that lack either of these two conditions should not use this template.
Reasonable evidence must be presented that the author's name (e.g., the original photographer, portrait painter) was not published with a claim of copyright in conjunction with the image within 70 years of its original publication. Works which had not entered Public Domain in their country in 1996 that were uploaded before 1 March 2012 should be marked additionally with {{Not-PD-US-URAA}}.
Note: In some countries anonymous works are copyrighted until 70 years after the death of the author if the author's identity became public in any way during the original term. In Germany this applies to certain works published before July 1, 1995; see Übergangsrecht.
According to the Decree no. 321/1956 of June 18, 1956 Chapter 1 Article 7, non-artistic photographs were not expressly protected by copyright. Artistic photographs taken between 1956 and 1996 are protected by copyright for a limited term, as follows:
(b) 10 years since issuance for the author of an artistic photographic series
(c) 5 years since issuance for the author of an isolated artistic photograph
Of the aforementioned photographs, those whose term hadn't expired before 1996 received a considerable prolongation, according to the Romanian Law on Copyright and Neighboring Rights Law no. 8/1996 of March 14, 1996 Article 149, Paragraph 3, modified by Law no. 285/2004 of June 23, 2004, Article 128:
The length of copyright over works that have been created before the enforcement of this law and whose protection terms had not expired according to the previous legislation are prolonged to the protection term provided by this law.
Therefore, Romanian artistic photographs whose protection term expired before 1996 are now in the public domain. These include photographic series published before 1986 and isolated photographs published before 1991. As a courtesy, please credit the author whenever using the photograph.
Esta fotografia está no domínio público em Itália porque foi criada lá e os seus direitos de autor expiraram. De acordo com a Lei de Proteção de Direitos de Autor e Direitos Relativos n.º 633, 22 de abril de 1941 e as suas revisões, imagens de pessoas ou aspetos, elementos e factos da vida natural ou social, obtidos através do processo fotográfico ou similar, incluindo reproduções de arte figurativa e fotogramas de filmes cinematográficos (Art. 87) são protegidas por um período de 20 anos a partir da sua data de criação (Art. 92). Esta cláusula não se aplica a fotografias de escritos, documentos, documentos de negócios, objetos físicos, desenhos técnicos e produtos similares (Art. 87). A lei italiana faz uma distinção importante entre "obras fotográficas" e "fotografias simples" (Art. 2, § 7). O período de proteção para as obras fotográficas é igual ou inferior à vida do autor mais 70 anos (Art. 32 bis), e as fotografias simples estão protegidas durante 20 anos a partir da criação.
Isto pode não se aplicar em países que não aplicam a regra do curto prazo a obras de Itália. Em particular, estes estão no domínio público nos Estados Unidos apenas se:
foi criada antes de 1976 e publicada antes de 1978 —então foi fora dos direitos de autor em Itália na data da restauração da URAA (1 de janeiro de 1996) (17 U.S.C.§ 104A)— (na maioria dos casos; para todos os casos, consulte Template:PD-Italy/US). Em caso afirmativo, adicione {{PD-1996}} além desta etiqueta de direitos de autor. Se a imagem foi criada após 1975 ou foi publicada após 1977, por favor adicione {{Not-PD-US-URAA}}.
