Der_Panther_Pfrimer_Putsch.jpg

Description
English: Frontpage of the Styrian Heimwehr newspaper Der Panther issue of 12 September 1931, the day of Walter Pfrimer's putsch. The headline reads "Something must and will happen" [Titelseite der Zeitung des Steirischen Heimatschutzes "Der Panther" vom 12. 09. 1931, dem Tag des Pfrimer-Putsches. Die Schlagzeile lautet "Es muss und - wird was g'schehn!"] - Der Panther was published by the Styrian Heimwehr, which was dissolved by decree of the Austrian Government on 10 October 1936. Any works of that organisation therefore came into the public domain 70 years after its dissolution, 10 October 2006. The photograph shown in the newspaper is PD-Austria because it is a lichtbild (simple photograph, not taken in a studio or involving lighting and poses) and was published in 1931, so copyright on it expired in 1981, and therefore before the URAA date.

Licensing

A natural person was not the copyright holder, and under Austrian law only ancillary rights (Leistungsschutzrechte, vested in the later outlawed Austrian-Styrian Heimwehr) existed. Under Austrian law the work was therefore only protected for 50 years from the publication of the work. Given a publication date of 1931, this edition of Der Panther became PD in Austria in 1981 and is therefore also PD-1996.

Public domain The copyright to this Austrian simple photographic picture ("Lichtbild") has expired and it is currently in the public domain in Austria pursuant to the provisions of Article 74(6) of Federal Law BGBI No. 111 of 1936 in the Version of 2003-07-01 ( details ).

For a simple photograph ("Lichtbild"), such as simple passport photos from Photo booths , photos from satellites, pictures from radiography, it was either published more than 50 years ago or it was taken more than 50 years ago and never published within 50 years of its creation.

Photographs that involve artistic interpretations, such as studio shots and those that involve lighting and poses, qualify as photographic works ("Lichtbildwerke") or "works of literature, music and art" ( Eurobike: OGH, Beschluss vom 12.9.2001, 4 Ob 179/01d and Article 60 ). As such, a 70-year p.m.a. term of protection is applied (see this discussion ).

In order to be acceptable on Commons, works must be in the public domain in the United States as well as in their source country. Austrian works are currently in the public domain in the United States if their copyright had expired in Austria on the U.S. date of restoration (January 1, 1996). However, some works might have a subsisting U.S. copyright resulting from the long-standing copyright relations between Austria and the United States.

Unpublished simple photographs created prior to 1974 and never published within 50 years of creation created prior to 1946 and never published within 50 years of creation
Published simple photographs published prior to 1974 published prior to 1946
