There is a remarkable victory for the Copyfraud lobby at Commons: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/Images_from_Dar… The discussion was opened at February 2 and closed with the decision to delete on February 5. I think there is absolutely no reason for the Wikimedia Foundation not to accept Bridgeman v. Corel (an US decision which has diligently discussed UK law with the same result that mere reproductions are not copyrightable) for all projects. Scans from printed Public Domain books cannot be protected. Lord Oliver said "But copying, per se, however much skill and labour may be devoted to the process cannot make an original work". Typographical protection in the UK expires after 25 years. But much older reproductions can be protected for 70 years pma when some Indians do some Photoshop work on scans?
