Image:Hashmonea155.jpg

The date of death of the aritst ("Câmpineanu") of this painting is not stated. So it might be that it is still protected by copyright law. ALE! ¿…? 09:40, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

This is the Romanian law - in Art. 7 it was stated that the rights for photografs stand for 10 years only from the date of the creation of the photo` this is true for photoes that were created before the year of the law, 1956. Thank you! Arie Inbar 19:28, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

P. S. Hashmonea was a newspaper and "Câmpineanu 15" was the adress of the newspaper. Arie Inbar 20:08, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that when Romania joined the EU it had to retroactively impose the life+70 laws of the EU. 84.108.245.222 23:21, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

The law can't be imposed retroactively. Any work that was released into the public domain, cannot be returned to copyrighted status. Arie Inbar 17:02, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes, unfortunately that is possible. --ALE! ¿…? 09:15, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

That seems highly unlikely, and in fact contradicts the way laws are carried out. If that would be so, someone who used public domain photos (for instance) in a book, would suddenly be guilty of a civil offense.

Such a claim requires evidence, both for the general claim (that it can be done), and for the specific claim (what Romania did or didn't do). Okedem 17:20, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
