Hi,
lets not jump to conclusions just yet :)
I don't read the template like you do, and understand the Estonian situation
quite differently. As I understand it, there are basically two exemptions
(The Fair Use-like exemption for buildings and the 70-year-after-death
exemption) which have overlap in old buildings. The fact that the
FU-exemption does not specify the 70 year one does not invalidate the
out-of-copyright situation. And then even this is all based on
Commons-templates, which are user generated, not necessarily by experts and
simplified to make it easier to understand.
Best regards,
Lodewijk

Hmm, then in that case, there is a problem with all of
those pictures. Of
course, in some countries, there is a gap between the law and enforcement. I
don''t know if Wikipedia Estonia needs to worry in the way the Italians do.
Having laws doesn't always imply enforcement. If the law is as the Commons
templates currently suggest, then I believe however that only Wikipedia
Estonia can host these pictures, since they are the only ones who can take
the no-enforcement risk.
That does mean however that they cannot take part in the
Europe-competition, because I really don't see how you can set up the
photo-upload tool to work for them.
How sad!

The way to technically get around this one is to
make sure that the
object
is NOT the main subject of the photo. Then all is
well.
hope it helps,
Yes and no - in
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Haapsalu_linnus10.jpg, the wall
ruin is the main subject of the photo, no matter what you claim.
