File:2006 night Maputo Mozambique 203789466.jpg

[edit]

No commercial freedom of panoroma in this country. See Commons:Freedom_of_panorama#Mozambique. Also, File:Portuguese embassy, Maputo.jpg and File:Aeroporto Maputo.jpg. Ramaksoud2000 (talk) 23:30, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dont agree about file File:2006 night Maputo Mozambique 203789466.jpg. The mz law says: "the image of the work is the principal subject". In this case the main subject is Maputo itself and none of the three or more buildins in it.
I have some doubts about File:Aeroporto Maputo.jpg. The main subject is the airport itself, with a plane, people, several buildings, towers and the tarmac.

In both of those, buildings fill up the majority of the photo. The principal subject in the airport photo is obviously the airport, a building, except some people were caught in the side and a plane can be seen in the corner of the photo. In the first photo, the principal subject might not be a single building, however, the principal subject is multiple buildings as a whole that take up the whole photo.

In direct response to your argument, all of the city is buildings, there aren't any vast forests that break up the city. The whole city is buildings. Ramaksoud2000 (talk) 22:21, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep Seems to satisfy COM:DM. This is not so much a photo of a building but a photo of an entire city. Photos of an entire city are typically assumed to be OK as no single building is the principal subject. See also the examples at COM:DM#Examples. --Stefan4 (talk) 00:51, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Since the Portuguese embassy may be sovereign property of Portugal then their FOP may apply, not that of Mozambique. Isn't it legally a territory of Portugal? If the others are de min then they should be  Keep--Canoe1967 (talk) 15:31, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep This image likely fulfils COM:DM. There are many buildings in the photo. The image isn't cropped to focus on one single building. --Leoboudv (talk) 05:01, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
What about the two other photos? Ramaksoud2000 (talk) 12:23, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The airport could probably be deleted, the embassy can stay as it should be covered by FOP Portugal. I agree that any 'cityscape' is just that and a group buildings would be de min with not one as the focus of the image. If Mozambique wishes to carry on with no FOP laws then their articles will just end up being more text than 'eye candy'.--Canoe1967 (talk) 15:05, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I believe that copyright rules are determined by the copyright law of Mozambique, not by the copyright law of Portugal. I think that there was some similar deletion request somewhere, although I don't remember where. I didn't realise that those other images were part of the discussion. I think that the other two images need to go away. --Stefan4 (talk) 15:09, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

After reading w:Extraterritoriality I am probably wrong about the embassy. The rules concerning w:Diplomatic missions are more about the people and not the property. Mozambique FOP would probably apply then.--Canoe1967 (talk) 16:08, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
