* 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}}.

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).

<!--T:141-->
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.

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.
