Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Copyright of images on 'Britain from the Air' website

You may have seen a buzz on social media in the last couple of days, about a new website, 'Britain from the Air':    http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/ which features <http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/about-project>:    images from the Aerofilms collection... Dating from 1919 to 2006... purchased by Royal    Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland, English Heritage    and the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales... in 2007. The site-wide copyright statement, on <http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/legalities>, is somewhat ambiguous:    The images, information and data featured on this website are subject to Crown Copyright    and other Intellectual Property Rights held by the Partners and Individual Contributors as    indicated. There are also copyrights relating to the database itself and to the design, structure    and code employed in the website. Has anyone found an image on the site with a copyright notice excepting it from the default Crown Copyright? Presumably, the use of Crown Copyright means that we're at liberty to use images that are over 50 years old,  like this 1928 shot of Birmingham:  http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/image/epw022585?search=birmingham&re… on Commons and Wikipedia? -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediauk-l(a)wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
