Copyright Information
Jonah Blank, privately contacted at an earthlink email address (his name with no spaces @) said:
- It's fine with me to use the photos for a wikipedia article about waterboarding-- I am the photographer, so I give whatever permission is necessary to have them distributed as widely as possible.
He likely will consent to a formal release if asked.
- Actually please note that Jonah Blank does not own the copyright to this image as photographer, as it is a photograph accurately (other than some glare and a bit of framing) representing 2-dimensional work of art. The original illustrator has the copyright on the depicted work, so this is of unknown provenance and copyright. The museum itself may not have rights to the image beyond displaying it. At best this is fair use now. NTK 19:45, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
- As far as I can tell, this painting would not qualify for international copyright protection. The Khmer Rouge were not signatories to the Berne convention or any international copyright treaties. No subsequent government signed up to the Berne convention or anything similar; In 1996 Cambodia signed an agreement with the U.S. to bring some element of IPR rights into it's law, but it was 2003 before the Law on Copyrights and Related Rights was actually passed. Hence this painting predates copyright law in Cambodia, and any copyright claims under international treaty or convention in other countries.[1][2][3][4] Chris Bainbridge (talk) 11:36, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
