Merlion

Reproduction of the subject(s) of this photograph or other type of file made on or after 10 April 1987 is permitted under Singapore law (Copyright Act 2021 (Act 22 of 2021)). Section 265 of the Copyright Act states that it is permitted to make or publish a painting, drawing, engraving, or photograph of the following: building, model of building; sculpture situated "other than temporarily in a public place or premises open to the public," or work of artistic craftsmanship. The section also allows the inclusion of the said works in a film, television broadcast, or cable programme. The definition of a work of artistic craftsmanship in Section 20(1) means it does not include a painting, drawing, engraving, or photograph. Therefore, the Singaporean freedom of panorama does not apply to, among other things, two-dimensional works such as billboards, murals, paintings in art galleries and museums, posters, and signs. For more information, see COM:CRT/Singapore#Freedom of panorama.

This work might not be available under a free license in the United States because it is based on an artwork or sculpture that may be protected by copyright under U.S. law. (Commons is hosted in the United States and as such, U.S. law is applicable.) In the source country of the artwork or sculpture, taking photographs of such works permanently located in a public place does not generally infringe on their copyright, under a principle known as "freedom of panorama". In U.S. law, there is no freedom of panorama for artwork or sculptures, and under the choice-of-law principle lex loci protectionis, U.S. courts might apply U.S. freedom of panorama standards to this work, rather than the standards of the source country. However, in practice, it is unsettled whether and how this approach would be applied in real-world U.S. legal cases involving freedom of panorama elements. The current policy on Commons is to accept photos of artwork and sculptures that are covered by freedom of panorama in their source country. This policy may change in the future, depending on the outcome of community discussions and new case law. This is not a valid license tag on Commons; this file must be usable under freedom of panorama in its source country or it will be deleted.
