I just noticed an attempt going on to delete a freely licensed Kelly 
Clarkson concert picture:

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/Image:Kell
y-clarkson-live-in-geelong.JPG

The alleged grounds is "no permission from artist, label, or manager 
for use, picture was taken at a concert, which may not be used for 
such purposes without proper permission".

The deletion seems to be failing though.

Is this yet another hoop some want to toss up in front of image 
uploaders, that there not only be a free license on the image 
copyright itself, but that proper licenses be obtained from the venue 
at which the picture was taken, and all people depicted in the image, 
and the promoters of whatever event the picture was taken during?

Will it be necessary to include copies of the fine print in a concert 
or other event ticket or program to prove whether photography was 
allowed?
