Template talk:PD-US-1996

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Can we assume that most images tagged with this image should not be moved to Commons because of existing copyrights in the country of publication? --Iamunknown 15:53, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Rather the opposite. Commons has many images which are PD in their home country but not in the US because of this rule. All attempts to delete those have been resisted. Haukur 16:03, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it would be the opposite ... somehow I missed the fourth criterion: "it was in the public domain in its home country on January 1, 1996." Does "home country" mean "country of original publication"? --Iamunknown 19:32, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
