May 2024 law review publication for European Union

Just noting this recent publication.^[1] RobbieIanMorrison (talk) 06:15, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@RobbieIanMorrison this must also be shared at the c:COM:VPC of Commons. Some mentioned cases (notably Spanish ones) may affect some images currently hosted there. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 07:45, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FOP US section

Since there is now sufficient material for the U.S. section of Freedom of panorama article, is it feasible and logical to separate it into a standalone article (like, Freedom of panorama in the United States)? More things can be covered once it is separated into a standalone article, though I am not sure if it is within the bounds of enwiki article policy and if it can be sustained in the long term.

@JWilz12345: I don't see any problem in developing subsidiary articles as suggested. RobbieIanMorrison (talk) 10:52, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@RobbieIanMorrison I decided not to create a spin-off article of FoP US section. The current FoP article is stable and detailed enough. In fact, the German Wikipedia version (w:de:Panoramafreiheit) is more than 300K in page size, far larger than this enwiki version. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 12:06, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@JWilz12345. Noted. (And I'll point out that page length statistic to my German lawyer friends.) RobbieIanMorrison (talk) 12:33, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

East Side Gallery decision in favor of FoP

The following 2017 decision regarding photographic reproductions of murals displayed at the open air East Side Gallery in Berlin should probably be worked in. That decision found in favor of Freedom of Panorama and is given in this judgement:

Bundesgerichtshof 19 January 2017, case I ZR 242/15 East Side Gallery, (2017) 119 GRUR 390. Reference ECLI:DE:BGH:2017:190117UIZR242.15.0.
https://juris.bundesgerichtshof.de/cgi-bin/rechtsprechung/document.py?Gericht=bgh&Art=en&nr=77644

I am reluctant to write up legal decisions provided in German, but hopefully someone else can.

Best, RobbieIanMorrison (talk) 10:51, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'll ping Commons admin who is from a German-speaking country regarding this @Rosenzweig:. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 15:27, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I'm not comfortable editing en.wp articles about legal topics except for correcting typos etc. c:Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Germany mentions the decision in passing two times, perhaps that text is helpful. Regards --Rosenzweig (talk) 17:23, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
