Files in Category:Palace of the Soviets

There is no freedom of panorama in Russia. I assume that this also means that you can't make computer art of buildings which were never constructed, such as w:Palace of the Soviets. Maybe buildings which haven't been constructed aren't even covered by the regular non-commercial FOP provision. Several countries, such as Sweden and the United States, require buildings to be constructed, or else FOP doesn't apply at all.

 Keep - at least the 1941 postcard. Since FOP does not apply to the banknote w:File:PHP 20 Ang Bagong Lipunan series (Reverse).jpg, we will have to assume that FOP does not apply to postcards. There is no FOP in Philippines either. - JohnnyWiki (talk) 16:17, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
File:PHP 20 Ang Bagong Lipunan series (Reverse).jpg is only on Commons because the building on the banknote (w:Malacañang Palace) is several hundred years old.
The postcard can't be kept since lack of FOP doesn't allow you to make drawings of copyrighted buildings. --Stefan4 (talk) 23:09, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
But then, we must be sure that there was no FOP at the time the postcard was published. If there was FOP, the postcard publication did not violate copyright laws. -- On the other hand, do you mean FOP does not apply to old objects? How old they should be (Malacañang Palace was "drastically remodeled and extensively rebuilt" about 40 years ago, so not very long ago)? - JohnnyWiki (talk) 20:03, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
