Re: [Wikimediaau-l] The A E Bert Roberts photograph collection
Interesting. FWIW: - 'copyfraud' is a word that has been used in the academic literature to label overly broad or ambitious assertions of copyright (asserting copyright that doesn't or is unlikely to exist). See Jason Mazzone, Copyfraud (http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=787244rec=1srcabs=319321). - An assertion based on 'sweat of the brow' is much more questionable following the IceTV decision by the High Court. If it's just work/running the photo through the processor, then it's questionable whether such digitised photo is copyright-protected even in Australia. However, when such cases have been raised in the UK they have been based on 'extensive work' getting the photograph to faithfully reflect the original. We haven't had that case come to court in Australia; reasoning in IceTV suggests it may not hold up here (anymore).

Re: [Wikimediaau-l] The A E Bert Roberts photograph collection
The copyfraud argument is basically - in their view, the item is under PD already so it is unethical for museums etc to licence it under any terms at all as they don't own them. However what that argument doesnt acknowledge is that the material may be PD but the hosting and preservation of it is the key element (as we discussed at GLAM) and the museum are providing us with freely available *digital copies* which are, within the terms of the licence, freely available and reusable worldwide. 2009/11/7 Craig Franklin cr...@halo-17.net Hi Peter, Unfortunately the physical objects that the collection is based upon (the glass plate negatives) are in a locked cupboard somewhere in the QM warehouse, so the possibility of getting our hands on them and making our own copies are fairly remote.

I don't quite understand the technicalities involved, but they are licensing it under CC-BY-SA so the outcome of the license is definitely not a deletion candidate. In my naive opinion I might think the word copyfraud relates to the use of a more limited license on a copy of a completely freely available image. It does seem arbitrary to put on the extra attribution/share alike clause just so the museum can be recognised as the digitiser given that the museum doesn't technically have any copyright/legal rights over the use of the original image unless they do that. If an external institution wants to digitise PD images with strings attached then people will wikilawyer about it. If the original image is PD, could someone else get access to the PD image and provide a PD digitised copy or would museums use their powers to restrict access to an image just to keep the attribution aspect?
