According to section 15(1)(g) of the Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Act 2006 (Act 19 of 2006) of Uganda, a work of art or architecture may be used in a photograph, an audiovisual work or a television broadcast without infringing the author's copyright and without the author's consent where the work:
is permanently located in a public place; or
is included in the background or is otherwise incidental to the main object in the photograph, audiovisual work or television broadcast.
This media is in the public domain in the United States because it solely consists of material created and provided by Voice of America, the official external broadcasting service of the federal government of the United States.
Voice of America republishes reporting from the Associated Press, Agence France-Presse and others. Always check the credit; such content is not in the public domain. Occasionally, a wire photo will be originally published with Voice of America watermarks and later corrected updated with the correct attribution. Use caution when uploading recently-published images or when a specific Voice of America photographer is not identified.
