Summary
[edit]
| Description | The Ambum Stone, an ancient carving from New Guinea |
|---|---|
| Author or copyright owner |
Original work: People in New Guinea about 1500 BC Depiction: A photographer (I don't know their name) surely working for the National Gallery of Australia |
| Source (WP:NFCC#4) | Website of the National Gallery of Australia, https://nga.gov.au/stories-ideas/analysing-the-ambum-stone/ |
| Date of publication | Original work: 1500 BC for the sculpture Depiction: Presumably after 1977 for the photo (as that is when the museum acquired the sculpture). |
| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | Ambum stone |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | For visual identification of the object of the article. The article as a whole is dedicated specifically to a discussion of this work. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
Any derivative work based upon the artwork would be a copyright violation, so creation of a free image is not possible. Or even if not, I'm sure the Gallery doesn't allow visitors to take pictures. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | Its the one picture used one time in the one file and minimized in size |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
The use of a low resolution image of the artwork will not impact the commercial viability of the art. Not of the subject anyway. The photo itself could be put in a book offered for sale I suppose. |
| Other information | The original creator of the sculpture is anonymous and has been dead for 3500 years. How the government of Australia can claim copyright on something they did not make but picked up off the ground so to speak, I don't know. I would like to be able to do that. I would think the rights would belong to the people of the world or something at this point. Maybe the government of New Guinea. But IANAL. It's copyright of the Australian government I believe, as the Australian National Gallery belongs to them. (There is no "Crown Copyright Australia" listed above.) The copyright info for the site says: "The contents of the National Gallery of Australia website are protected by copyright. The Gallery retains all rights, including copyright, in data, images, software, documentation, text, and other information contained in this website." and "Unauthorised commercial publication or reproduction of any part of this website is strictly prohibited." (Note that it says commercial.) Then goes on to say "The National Gallery of Australia seeks to maximise public access to its collection and exhibitions." Not sure exactly what they mean by that, but then they go on to say "Unless permitted under the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth), (eg. for the purposes of research and study) images and text on this website may not be reproduced, downloaded, copied, published, used on other websites or emailed without permission." (The Wikipedia article is not really 'for the purpose of research and study' I'd guess, but maybe you could say it is if you squint a little. IANAL.) Anyway, they can say what they want, this is fair use. They have a Rights & Permissions Officer. All this is from https://nga.gov.au/about-us/website-copyright/ |

 | Do not copy this file to Wikimedia Commons. Commons is in the habit of copying photos like this, after which it is deleted from here, and then Commons figures out its not free and so they delete it, and so then there's no copy anywhere. I would prefer not to get my work tangled up in that sort of thing. |
