I have tons of references about the Swiss law. Creating an article on
this topic in en: is on my todo list. Give me a reference of the
relevant page on fr: (and maybe some precise questions) and I'll try
to add pointers to what I know as well.
The question about armoiries raised up in the bistro, section
poulpisme
(http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Le_Bistro/31_mars_2006)
I actually gave references to 232.21
On Commons, these pictures are marked as CC-BY-SA-2.0. I am wondering
if this license conflicts with law 232.21
You could probably enhance or integrate the following article :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_protection_of_photographs_in_Switzerland
There are not *so* many questions about pictures in Switzerland (the
swiss community on :fr is still small, most questions came out of my
mind) but we can make a parallel with the questions that are often
raised for France. Those are usually :
* photographies of recent monuments, buildings, architectural work, etc.
* copyright of agencies related to goverment
* copyright and rules when one takes a picture of a known person (there
were some discussions about a picture of Zidane in an airport, one could
consider this as private life.
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Zidane_Paris_CdG.png)
* screenshots of softwares
* pictures of military buildings (eg for Switzerland :
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Bunker-suisse-aviation-p1010146.jpg)
* pictures taken during major events (for Switzerland, a good example
could be pictures taken during Eurocup 08)
Last week, someone asked me by mail about this case :
http://bpun.unine.ch/IconoNeuch/Portraits/Portraits.htm
The pictures should be in public domain, but a copyright has been added
by the Bpun. I asked the SSA about this issue (for me, this content
should be marked as PD) and they were surprised, they have forwarded my
question to another society (Pro Litteris), I am waiting for a clear answer.
Nous avons bien reçu votre courriel et nous nous sommes en effet
interrogés sur le © que la Bibliothèque a inséré sur l’oeuvre non
protégée. Il couvre éventuellement les droits du photographe qui a
reproduit l’oeuvre afin qu’elle soit numérisée.Mais nous avons constaté
en général que les bibliothèques souhaitent être indiquées en tant que
source, et que, si elles facturent quelque chose aux utilisateurs, ce
sont leurs frais de recherche.
Voilà ;)
