Explanation of derivatives[edit]

You've been citing this paper as the reasoning why you own the copyright to the images you've been uploading. I am not a copyright lawyer by any means, but I will try to explain to you why your interpretation is incorrect, and why that paper actually supports the Commons' deletion of your images.

Regarding derivatives, it states on page 2 that "The copyright in a derivative work covers only the additions, changes, or other new material appearing for the first time in the work. Protection does not extend to any preexisting material..." Regarding collective works, "In the case of a collective work containing preexisting work...the registration will only extend to the selection, coordination or arrangement of those works, not to the preexisting works themselves." In other words, what this means is that you don't get to compile together multiple copyrighted works that you don't own, and then release that work under whatever license you choose. You may own the copyright to whatever new materials you add to the work, or the compilation of the work, but you don't own the work in its entirety. The works you uploaded were mostly (if not entirely) combining multiple copyrighted works into one image, which is why your images have been deleted.

This situation is not at all like "a drawing based on a photograph". In the case of a drawing, the artist is creating his own work based on his visual interpretation of another. In the case of your images, you're taking exact copies of copyrighted works and placing them together. There is no "creation" of your own work, simply the compilation of others'. Does that makes sense?

Please stop uploading images that constitute copyright violations to the Commons, or you will eventually be blocked. ~Kevin Payravi (talk) 19:51, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I recognize that the commons policy is as you state. I think it's wrong but I will abide by the rules. If you'd like to join in the conversation (please do and bring all your text) we are over here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Files_for_discussion/2016_March_4#File:Twitterdrumpf.jpg discussing this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Twitterdrumpf.jpg. I *think* I can make my case that my derivative work is allowed on wikipedia per the sites policies. Clearly I cannot and, will stop trying to, make the case here. I would have known none of this if an editor, like yourself, didn't take the time to speak to me. So, thank you. --Potguru (talk) 20:18, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
