Per Commons:Deletion requests/File:Minecraft 1.1 Title.png. File:Pioche okyn.png looks more complex than a Sundborn plate, and in a court ruling, the Supreme Court of Sweden ruled that it is likely that the plate is protected by copyright.

These images seem to be out of scope. The tables are better done as a wikitable and the logo seems to be a personal logo of no use for people other than the artist.

Screenshots of a non-free video game, thus making these images non-free deriative works.

Lewis Hulbert (talk) 00:05, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This doesn't make sense to me. I understand that Minecraft is closed source so a general screenshot of landscape that was generated by the program or programmers would not be my work. But there are a huge number of photos of real buildings in the Wikimedia Commons. The person who took that photo of a building probably didn't build the building, they only took the photo. Isn't that "derivative" work? I made that Bitcoin icon myself with several hours of labor, and then I took the photos/screenshots. Two parts of the creative process were my own and that creative work would not exist without my significant efforts. Can the brick maker sue the architect for his "derivative" work? And then the architect sue the photographer for using their building in the photographic "derivative" work? If what I posted is illegal to post, then it shouldn't be, and we should fight stupid laws like that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beatljuice (talk • contribs) 00:40, 1 October 2014‎ (UTC)[reply]

All real buildings have copyrights, until they expire. In many countries, Commons photographs are permitted by laws which specifically exempt the photographs from being derivative works, see COM:FOP. However, that is a bad analogy. Think, instead, of drawings of real buildings, including both the architectural drawings used to construct them, renderings used to show them before construction, and post construction drawings. All of them have copyrights and you will not see them on Commons without a specific license from the creator.
The brick maker cannot sue because bricks aren't copyrighted, but the architect can sue a photographer in many countries (those with no FOP law) and can sue someone who copies his drawings in every country.
Copyright law is not stupid. If it were not for copyright laws, few people would go to the effort of writing books or creating sculptures, because they could not earn money for doing it. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:37, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that my analogy isn't perfect, but I think it's closer to accurate than yours James. Copies, or photos of architectural drawings would be more like copies or photos of computer code. A more accurate analogy would be if I went to Disneyland and built a tower out of foam blocks that are supplied by Disney and then took a picture of my creation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.164.208.15 (talk • contribs) 18:13, 1 October 2014‎ (UTC)[reply]

No, sorry, you are wrong. As I noted above, there are explicit exemptions in some countries for photographs of actual buildings. Minecraft is not buildings. Your Disney block creation would be a sculpture. In any event, with limited exceptions which don't apply here, every created work has a copyright. While there are exceptions for actual buildings (and other things) in some countries, any other copy of such a work is a copyvio. Since no exception applies to computer generated works anywhere, this is a copyvio. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:24, 2 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you're saying I'm wrong about. I'm trying to come up with an analogy that we can agree on so that arguments can be made from some sort of common ground. I understand that legally there may be a problem. I don't claim to know international IP law (I live in the US). I do believe that if there are laws that restrict what I posted, then those laws should be changed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.164.208.15 (talk • contribs) 17:00, 2 October 2014‎ (UTC)[reply]


Let's start from scratch. There is nothing international about this -- it is all US law and Commons rules. One of two things is true. Either:
  • You drew these completely from your own mind with no reference to anything on Minecraft, or
  • These are derived from or use images or parts of images from Minecraft.
In the first case, they are your personal creations and we do not keep personal art from non-notable artists, see COM:SCOPE.
In the second case, your images are derivative works of the copyrighted work of other people and therefore must be deleted as copyvios.

What part of File:Discobeat Skin.png is Mojang's IP? Andy Dingley (talk) 12:16, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Good catch on that one, I would've said the background but it doesn't appear to be Mojang's textures. However, we still can't be sure whether the background is freely licensed. --Lewis Hulbert (talk) 16:47, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This seems to be the personal player model skin used by the uploader. From the publicly available logs at de.wp it appears that this may have been used for a self-promotional article that was deleted speedily – which raises the additional question of COM:SCOPE. --El Grafo (talk) 08:44, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment File:Skin de Diamantum576.jpg has a watermark from novaskin.me/wallpapers, a page that seems to provide a functionality where you can place your own player skin into a pre-made wallpaper. They use CC-BY-SA-NC as a license for their stuff, so even if the background image was their own (which I'm tempted to doubt based on the other clearly non-free stuff they use) we can't keep it. --El Grafo (talk) 14:48, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment File:The Feed The Beast Launcher.png seems to show a separate software called Feed The Beast Launcher, which is licensed {{Apache}}. The screenshot shows logos for different Minecraft modpacks which might not be part of that license, however. Don't know if these might qualify for COM:De minimis/{{De minimis}}? --El Grafo (talk) 15:03, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I've updated the page to show the Apache license, rather than the CC-own work claim. Checking the Feed the Beast modpack list the modpacks included in the screenshot are All Rights Reserved, which I would assume includes the logo too. I'm not too sure about de minimis either, especially since one of the logos cover a decent amount of the image, but in the worst case the logos could be edited out in order to keep the image. --Lewis Hulbert (talk) 15:46, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment I'd like to point out that the three which are struck out and stated to be "in use" are likely all COM:COPYVIOs as they are COM:DW of copyrighted game "Minecraft". A copyvio "in use" does not become ineligible to delete. Ellin Beltz (talk) 15:40, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment The last one (File:Tinkers Construct smeltery.png) is fine, I think: It doesn't contain anything from the original game, everything displayed comes from the Tinkers Construct mod which has a free license. --El Grafo (talk) 16:22, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Voglio farti notare che la dichiarazione sulla immagine File:Herobrine skin ver. mod.png, non è esatta, non risulta nessuna copyright della Mojang su questo personaggi perché il personaggio è stato creato dalla comunità di Minecraft, inoltre l’immagine non deriva dal videogioco e stata realizzata dall’autore che la pubblicata, soprattutto il personaggio è una creepy-pasta ispirato a Minecraft. Inoltre Notch ha più volte dichiarato che il personaggio non esiste nel videogioco. Per tanto Mojang non ha mai avuto copyright sul questo personaggio immaginario. Qualsiasi riferimento della Mojang su Herobrine e solamente uno scherzò che fa alla comunità. Inoltre dire che l’immagine e derivato della skin del giocatore predefinito di Minecraft, ti poso dire che è deriva solo dalle abilità del autore della immagine che la realizzato in SVG e poi la salvato su http://minecraft.gamepedia.com in formato PNG.--0 Noctis 0 (talk) 08:17, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It does not matter whether Mojang claim ownership or acknowledge the character, as this representation of it was made by modifying Minecraft textres. The Herobrine skin is clearly a derivative work of the Steve skin. Making minor modifications by colouring the eyes white and adding a smile does not mean that the editor now owns rights to the skin, thus they are not able to release the image under a free license. --Lewis Hulbert (talk) 18:00, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Additonally, even if it were the sole authorship of the uploader on Gamepedia, the image is only licensed CC-BY-NC, which is not allowed on Wikimedia Commons. The source has no mention of the GDFL license that you claimed when uploading the file. --Lewis Hulbert (talk) 18:04, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Su questo ti posso dare una spiegazione, essendo che non esiste il Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported (CC BY-NC 3.0) o perché non sono riuscito a trovarlo (probabilmente e stato nominato sotto un altro nome). Ho caricato immagine sotto la licenza che l’autore mia detto che era adeguata. Se mi stai dicendo che l’immagine come il colore della pelle e legata al copyright, l’immagine e composta da geometria semplice e colori che formano l’immagine non possono essere considerati come materiale protetto da copyright perché comuni a tutti, Non supera quindi la soglia di originalità. Inoltre cito il trademark.--0 Noctis 0 (talk) 20:10, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

File:Herobrine.png

Previously {{copyvio|1=© Mojang Studios. The fact that they state that they are "quite relaxed about non-commercial things" is not enough per COM:Licensing – commercial reuse MUST be allowed for all files at Commons.}}, see User_talk:Herobrine303. The uploader removed the copyvio tag without starting a regular deletion request, so here we go.

This is a derivative work of the original default Minecraft Steve player skin (the old one, before he got a shave, low-res version of the original image here). Similar or identical files have been deleted repeatedly in the past (CTRL+F Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Minecraft for "herobrine.png"), so I don't think {{PD-ineligible}} applies. --El Grafo (talk) 13:28, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

These photos are of a Minecraft Papercraft Chess board. The artwork on all the pieces is from the game Minecraft (by Mojang AB) and Pixel Papercraft may also arguably hold some copyright in the chess designs. These photos seem to exceed COM:DM, as the only purpose/value in the photos is to showcase the copyrighted artwork (i.e. blacking out the copyrighted parts would mean blocking out basically the entire photo). COM:DM Sweden would apply since Mojang AB is a Swedish company, and from the few examples listed on that page, it seems Sweden may have even stricter laws than the U.S., making it more likely these are not de minimis.
