•  Question - How sure are we that the painting of Shiva is de minimis? Looks borderline at best to me. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:48, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

• They are reproductions of ancient arts/concepts; so no one can claim copyright for them, I think. We made such a conclusion for similar works, earlier. Jee 05:23, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

• That's not the gist of the discussion from what I've read. Lets say I take Vishnu, and depict him in a new way, perhaps inspired by public domain works and in a similar style. The new poses, backgrounds, etc. would still draw a new copyright. Otherwise every depiction ever published of any public domain figure would also be public domain, which is certainly not recognised. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:49, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

• Agree; but most of the "components" I'm seeing on those pictures (including two small pictures on the stick) are very common in India. They are heavily re-printed and sell on roadside for a price of their printing cost. The watermark we are seeing there is that of the re-publisher. Here, in India, we use everything for free, including Microsoft Windows. :) Jee 06:16, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

• LOL, it's very similar in Indonesia ;-). However, as the servers are in the US, and US copyright law is a bit stricter, I'd want proof that this print is already public domain before supporting (unless, of course, we determine that it is de minimis). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:04, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
