Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Advertisement printed in the San Francisco Examiner promoting early screenings of the film Pornography in Denmark: A New Approach in San Francisco. The advertisement reads as follows:
We took our cameras to Copenhagen and meticulously filmed an incredible documentary. But don't plan to see it unless you can sign this statement:

   I have read the advertisement for this film and I know the nature of the subject matter.
   I have come to this theatre of my own choice, and not by coercion nor by accident.
   I am over 21 years of age and can present valid identification to prove it.
 

   In October of 1969, Copenhagen became the first city in the world to present an exposition of pornography. It was called Sex '69, and it attracted tens of thousands of tourists. More than 400 newsmen were there. And we were there.
   “We flew to Copenhagen with our cameras and a crew of professional filmmakers. For seven long days and nights we shot film.
   “We spent manny hours at the exposition. We visited bookstores, theatres and private sex clubs. We saw the making of pornography, the sale, distribution and the exhibition of it. We interviewed people, and we observed a free society. We meticulously recorded everything on film.

   “Now, after several months of painstaking editing, our film is completed. It is the first film of its kind, and we are proud of it. Every incredible scene is authentic. Nothing is faked, and nothing is concealed.
   “We have presented social conditions in Denmark as they really are—without compromise, without fiction. We have been honest.
   “We invite you to see our film if the subject matter is of interest to you. However, if you have any reservations about seeing it, then don't. Now it's your turn to be honest.”

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain This advertisement (or image from an advertisement) is in the public domain because it was published in a collective work (such as a periodical issue) in the United States between 1929 and 1977 and without a copyright notice specific to the advertisement. Unless its author has been dead for several years, it is copyrighted in jurisdictions that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works, such as Canada (50 p.m.a.), Mainland China (50 p.m.a., not Hong Kong or Macao), Germany (70 p.m.a.), Mexico (100 p.m.a.), Switzerland (70 p.m.a.), and other countries with individual treaties. See this page for further explanation.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
