Tabelle zur Gemeinfreiheit

Anhand dieser Tabelle lässt sich feststellen, ob ein Werk zum Hochladen geeignet ist. Gemäß Commons:Lizenzen können Werke nur dann hochgeladen werden, wenn sie sowohl in ihrem Herkunftsland als auch in den Vereinigten Staaten gemeinfrei sind. In der nachstehenden Tabelle sind die Bedingungen aufgeführt, unter denen die meisten Werke in beiden Ländern gemeinfrei sind, sortiert nach dem Land der Erstveröffentlichung (die Bedingungen „Autor gestorben in“ und „veröffentlicht in“ müssen gleichzeitig erfüllt sein). In einigen Ländern gibt es mehrere Zeilen, die mehrere Möglichkeiten bieten, wie Werke gemeinfrei sein können. Beachte, dass es eine Reihe von Ausnahmen gibt, z. B. die gleichzeitige Veröffentlichung im Herkunftsland und in den USA sowie die posthume Veröffentlichung. Mit Vorsicht verwenden. Dies basiert auf und ist eine Vereinfachung von en:Wikipedia:Non-U.S. copyrights und dem Text verschiedener Lizenzvorlagen.

Hinweis: Wenn das Todesjahr des Autors bekannt ist, ist es besser, {{PD-old-auto-expired}} oder {{PD-old-auto-1996}} zu verwenden als {{PD-old-70-expired}}, {{PD-old-70-1996}}, {{PD-old-50-expired}}, {{PD-old-50-1996}}. usw. Die Auto-Lizenzvorlagen werden automatisch aktualisiert, wenn die Zeit vergeht.

• Abkürzungen:
  • pma: post mortem auctoris, (Jahre) nach dem Tod des Autors
  • pd: post divulgationem, (Jahre) nach der Veröffentlichung
  • pr: post realization, (Jahre) nach der Erstellung
  • PD: (gemeinfrei)
  • PD-US-expired: Die meisten Werke, die vor mindestens 95 Jahren (1928 oder früher) veröffentlicht wurden, sind in den USA gemeinfrei. Diese Werke werden als PD-US-expired bezeichnet, basierend auf dem Vorlagennamen {{PD-US-expired}}.
  • URAA: Der Uruguay Round Agreement Act. Um in den USA gemeinfrei zu sein, muss ein Werk im Allgemeinen entweder in den USA abgelaufen sein oder in seinem Herkunftsland zum Zeitpunkt des URAA-Datums, das in der Regel der 1. Januar 1996 ist, gemeinfrei gewesen sein.

Copyrighted table

This table is the inverse of the first table, and summarizes which works are still under copyright, listed by the nation of first publication. It helps identify when and why an existing work may need to be deleted. Both the "author died in" and "published in" conditions must be satisfied simultaneously. Some countries list multiple rows, providing multiple ways works can be still under copyright. Again, these are broad guidelines and there are some exceptions (e.g. architectural works from before 1987).

Footnotes

• ^(a) A "simple photograph" must not have artistic merit or reflections of photographer creativity or personality. Some simple photos are not copyrightable in the US (see Commons:Threshold of originality#United_States).
• ^(b) If a film is published or photo taken in Italy between 16 August 1945 and 31 December 1945, or an author published a work and then died during that period, these works are PD in the US, and will become PD in Italy 70 years after the death of the author(s). (Explanation: Italy wartime extensions applied only to works published before 16 August 1945. The above-listed works all expired precisely on Italy's URAA date, and so do not have a US copyright. Italy retroactively extended copyright on all works except simple photos to 70 pma.)
