File:Capt. Queeg takes command of the USS Caine.jpg[edit]
No URL for trailer is given; the only trailer I find does not contain this image. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MeErathhsg Image appears to be a screenshot from this copyrighted film. Coretheapple (talk) 20:10, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
- If it is a screenshot from the film, I have to agree. Commons (obviously) doesn't host copyrgithed images except with the express consent of the copyright holder. The uploader needs to provide the URL for the trailer and show that the trailer is not copyrighted (most trailers are). Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:54, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
- High resolution screenshot is from an off-line DVD copy of the trailer a low resolution version of which is on-line at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MeErathhsg. The trailer itself contains no copyright notice as is common in movie trailers. Centpacrr (talk) 14:03, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
- It doesn't need to if it's included on a DVD the entirety of which is copyrighted. Just as each chapter of a copyrighted book does not have to carry a separate copyright notice, each part of a copyrighted DVD does not need to be labelled as copyrighted - also note that under current copyright law, there is no neccessity for anything to carry an actual copyright notice - the fact of creation creates the copyright. Public domain material can be re-copyrighted if enough significant change is made to it to qualify it as a new work. If, for instance, the trailer was digitally enhanced, the enhancement may well qualify as sufficient to make it, essentially, a new work for the purposes of copyright. If this is the case, then the only thing that is in the PD is the un0enhanced copy of the trailer such as is found on YouTube. Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:28, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
- I agree. However, it is plain from examination of the trailer at the link I provided that this could not have been captured from the trailer. The shot of Bogart is either covered with lettering or part of a "dissolve" from the previous scene. Given his uploading of this photograph of the "yellow stain incident" on Wikipedia, which is indisputably not a "trailer screen shot" as he claims, for no "yellow stain" shot appears in the trailer, it is safe to assume that this shot we are discussing is also a screen shot from the copyrighted film itself and not from the trailer.

- Comment This user uploaded the identical photograph to Wikipedia after commencement of this deletion discussion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Queeg_A.jpg This user needs to stop gaming the system and wasting editors time like this. Coretheapple (talk) 12:39, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
