* For a picture of '''a building''' or '''a public art''' (like a sculptural monument or a mural), note that the architect or the artist may hold some rights if distinct architectural or artistic features are shown, but see also {{pg|<tvar name="fop">Commons:Freedom of panorama</tvar>|Commons:Freedom of panorama}}.

Also note that most ''reproductions'' do not allow the person doing the reproduction to claim a new copyright; the creator of a digital ''image'' / ''reproduction'' of a picture owns no ''new'' copyright to the resulting digital image. The only relevant copyright is that of the original picture. This also applies to {{pg|<tvar name="screenshots">Commons:Screenshots</tvar>|Screenshots}}.

--><p>The large majority of works published before 1964 have passed into the public domain, but '''it is imperative to determine''' that copyright was not renewed. (The [<tvar name="url">https://cocatalog.loc.gov/</tvar> US Copyright Office online catalog] can be used to search for renewals in 1978 or later—useful for works published in 1951 through 1963; Google has scans of the paper catalog including [<tvar name="url2">https://books.google.com/googlebooks/copyrightsearch.html</tvar> works registered from 1923 up to 1978]).</p>
* For works first published before 1978: until '''95 years after the first publication'''.
* For works first published 1978 or later: until '''70 years after the author's death'''. Anonymous works or {{Work for hire|work made for hire}}: until the shorter of '''95 years since the first publication''' or '''120 years since the creation''' of the work.
For works created before 1978 but only published 1978 or later, there are some [[:en:WP:PD#Unpublished works|special rules]]. These terms apply in the U.S. also for foreign works.

=== Uruguay Round Agreements Act === <!--T:57-->

<!--T:59-->
Because the constitutionality of this law was challenged in court, Commons initially permitted users to upload images that would have been public domain in the U.S. without the URAA. However, the constitutionality of the URAA was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in ''{{Golan v. Holder|Golan v. Holder}}''. After {{pg|<tvar name="uraa-discussion">Commons:Deletion requests/All files copyrighted in the US under the URAA</tvar>|discussion}}, it was determined that the affected files would not be deleted en masse but reviewed individually. There was {{pg|<tvar name="pd-review-discussion">Commons:Requests for comment/PD review</tvar>|further discussion}} about the best method for review of affected files, resulting in the creation of {{pg|<tvar name="wikiproject">Commons:WikiProject Public Domain</tvar>|Commons:WikiProject Public Domain}} (not active anymore).

Old [[:en:Orphan work|orphan works]] are [<tvar name="1">https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Village_pump/Proposals&oldid=795076950#Allow_old_orphan_works</tvar> accepted], provided that at least one of the following two conditions applies:
* the works were created before <tvar name="2">{{#expr:{{CURRENTYEAR}}-95}}</tvar>;
* the works were created before the ''pma'' duration (required years after the author's death) in the country of origin, which would satisfy {{tl|PD-1996}} if published at the time of creation (e.g. works created before 1946 for 50 years ''pma'' countries, where the URAA date for that country is 1996).
When uploading such works, please add {{tl|Orphan works}} to the file page to explain the situation.

The [<tvar name="url">https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/mark/1.0/</tvar> Creative Commons Public Domain 1.0] mark (PDM) is often applied to images on photography websites such as Flickr.com, and is not a license. Despite this, the community found that when a user applies PDM to their own work, they are releasing their work to be in the public domain, and these works are believed to be freely licensed. For further information, see [[<tvar name="diff">Special:Diff/443799320#Accept files published by the copyright holder with a Public Domain Mark</tvar>|Accept files published by the copyright holder with a Public Domain Mark]].

YouImagine you want to upload a picture of MickeyBart MouseSimpson, but of course you can't just scan it in. Why not take a picture of a little action figure and then upload it? Don't. The reason why you can't upload photographs of such figures is that they are considered as {{wp-Derivative work|derivative works}}. Such works can't be published without permission of the original creator.
