Files in Category:Andrea Voß-Acker
[edit]Per Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Germany German stamps are copyrighted until at least 70+ years after the designer's death. In this case it's pretty clear that the designer, Andrea Voß-Acker, hasn't been dead for that long since these stamps were published in the early 2000s. So they are copyrighted until an undetermined date unless someone can find out if Andrea Voß-Acker is dead and when exactly they died.

- (about the Chess Olympiad 2008 stamp) Thanks for bringing this to my attention. In 2008 when I uploaded it, postal stamps were generally viewed as being in the public domain in Germany. This changed only with the Loriot case, decided on 27 March 2012. So while the deletion request is legally correct, I am at no personal fault here, as at the time of uploading I was neither aware nor could foresee that a court might decide against the public domain status. I agree with the deletion. --Conspiration 13:18, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
- Totally. I don't think anyone is the wrong for uploading images of German stamps before the court case. I see at as just a weird quirk of how the legal system in Germany works that we unfortunately have to deal with by deleting the images. It's totally not on the users who originally uploaded the images though. --Adamant1 (talk) 13:35, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Deleted: most, per nomination, except one that has a VRT permission. I inquired about that one at COM:VRTN. The files can be restored 70 years pma of the artist. --Rosenzweig τ 17:57, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
- Deleted File:Chess olympiad 2008 stamp.jpg as well because per COM:VRTN we don't have a proper permission in the ticket. --Rosenzweig τ 20:23, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, as far as I remember I had asked for clarification from the Federal Postal Office to make sure stamps are in the public domain, and submitted that as a ticket with the upload. This was overturned by the 2012 court decision. --Conspiration 21:23, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
