Image:WiiRemoteController.png

Looks like a tracing of the official press release photo [1], compare the diagonal shadow across the face. We have free photos of this device.

Keep Against sweat of the brow arguments. Tracing in this case is perfectly okay, since the photo displays the controller in a standard position. --Rtc 15:01, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep nothing copyrighted. What's next? Prohibition of photographs of refrigerators and walls? --Wiggum 14:12, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- You are completely missing the point. The photograph was taken by Nintendo. ed g2s • talk 04:36, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - [2] is a photograph taken by Nintendo. Image:WiiRemoteController.png is not? It's even more different than it needs to be. --Rtc 06:09, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - I don't see the point with that photo. Image:WiiRemoteController.png is just a picture of that stupid remote. Why should it be prohibited to make a picture of a doohickey just because another one made a picture of the same doohickey before?--Wiggum 09:55, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - Because this picture is an near identical copy, hence a derivative work. If I take a photo of a car, I can copyright it. If you copy my photo with a few tweaks, my copyright still applies. ed g2s • talk 13:34, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      - Please stay resonable; this is not a photo of a car. The controller is in a standard position, thus there is basically not much variation possible. If you want to draw the controller in such a position, you will never come up with a many differces in the result. In fact anything that could be different for such a position is different in the drawing: Just take a close look at the buttons. Cleary not a copyvio. --Rtc 13:59, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, it even doesn't have any nintendo logo --Martin Rizzo 02:24, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- That is completely irrelevant. We can take our own photos of it, but Nintendo's publicity shots are copyrighted. ed g2s • talk 04:39, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Clearly a derivative work. Just take a picture of the actual remote control, which would be a perfectly suitable replacement. howcheng {chat} 23:44, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. Tracing others' illustrations is not permitted. There's no reason to keep this image. / Fred Chess 08:35, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
