The request attachment is missing. --Fæ (talk) 16:07, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

I know and I apologise for this. Trying to figure out how to make it available as the request did not come electronically.Kalliope (WMF) (talk) 17:06, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

I've uploaded it and added it to the DMCA page (you can also see it directly here on wmfWiki. Jalexander-WMF (talk) 00:21, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

@Jalexander-WMF: Are we to assume the WMF is not paying them $1000? (amused) - Revent^talk 00:30, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

@Jalexander-WMF and Kalliope (WMF): Is it possible for legal to provide the response which was sent back to them? I'm curious about this case --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 14:21, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

• After further conversation Legal has decided to undo this DMCA because of some additional issues that came up. I will be undeleting the image and while we may come back to do so again after further conversation with the requester the community can obviously review it on their own as always. @Josve05a: I can ask :).

The PDF sort of links to this Getty page. I'm skeptical about a lot of US photo copyrights of this age--it would have been real nice to get the renewal number--but it seems to be big enough and notable enough that it wasn't something that just got swept into Getty.--Prosfilaes (talk) 00:39, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

This would have not been controversial as a DR, as though Getty is synonymous with unabashed copyfraud of PD photos, the photographer died in 2006. --Fæ (talk) 06:00, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

It's an American photo by an American photographer; when he died is irrelevant.--Prosfilaes (talk) 06:58, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

True, so I work this out as to be undeleted in 2042. --Fæ (talk) 08:35, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

The license of that photo was all wrong. Uploaded to flickr under CC license while stating it is a photo taken by someone else. Uploded by User:Ikfedorova who had only a single contribution. --Jarekt (talk) 12:17, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

I've added the Flickr user in this case to our blacklist. That account appears to be a collection of copyvios. --AFBorchert (talk) 13:25, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

 Comment This is indeed an obvious copyvio which is identical to File:Kamera-film.jpg which was deleted on 16 March 2016 along with other copyvios by the same user. Unfortunately, nobody noticed that the photo was re-uploaded on the following day despite being caught by Steinsplitter's tool for the detection of re-uploads of previously deleted files. --AFBorchert (talk) 23:46, 18 November 2017 (UTC)
