As if Spanish problem wasn't enough... The uploads to Swedish wiki should not be disabled until there is a workable solution to the existing problem. - Cool Cat

NB. This request is clearly for Swedish WIKTIONARY, which I imagine is a much smaller uploading community than Wikipedia.

Swedish copyright law is a little odd though. There was a chanage in what the early 90s I think but before that it was very very liberal.

It might as well be the "Pirate Party"'s personal Wiki: With no more than about 10 uploads per day we'd never probably notice the increase.
I'm generally agains forcing newbie uploads on Wikis with vibrant and active communities to upload on commons where we are less able to help them, but in cases of smaller and low activity Wikis we are possibly more able to deal with the situation.

But it is US copyright law that matters, or has Foundation policy changed during my slumber?

The complexity is due to the US's historic requirment of registration of copyright. So you get images that were never registered in the US (and were created before the chnage in the law) and were not covered by copyright in sweden at the time.
They only have 15 images in the wiktionary, so I think it wouldnt make such a great impact =P

Are the images considered protected by copyright in Sweden now?

As far as I understand (the relivant law is here: http://sv.wikisource.org/wiki/Upphovsr%C3%A4ttslagen#.C3.96verg.C3.A5ngsbest... ) that would depend on the artistic value of the work. No I don'tknow what that means either and since the law is in swedish I have no real way of finding out.
