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?
This is well beyond copyright. I have no problem with Wikipedians
sneaking cameras into concerts to take free pictures. The people who
are on stage are in a public performance. Nevertheless, I would
question using pictures of normally anonymous audience members.
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?
How could we do that without infringing the copyrights of the people who
design and produce the tickets? ;-)
