Don't think that the original cc-by licensing is correct. Sure, the flickr-author took the photo, but the design of the phone is copyrighted. It's a pity. Saibo (Δ) 02:33, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Then we'd have to delete every product photo on Commons... ed g2stalk 11:35, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Please read the paragraph "If I take a picture of an object with my own camera, I hold the copyright to the picture. Can't I license it anyway I choose? Why do I have to take care of other copyright holders?" in COM:DW. I think that this applies here, too. But if the phone doesn't reach the "w:threshold of originality" this doesn't apply. I think that the design has "threshold of orig.". --Saibo (Δ) 15:57, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Rubbish - if we start to act like that we could delete most of the product pics here. Please remove the Deletion request ASAP. Quote from the Wikimedia:
The design of your alarm clock or your dinner plate is probably not copyrighted in the same way Mickey Mouse is. Please keep apart works of art (the Pokemon) and objects of daily use (gaming consoles, dinner plates), the latter of which generally are not works in the sense of copyright, or, depending on jurisdiction, do not show enough originality for the vastly increased prerequisites for copyright protection of such objects. They are generally protected by design patents, which may or may not (depending on jurisdiction again) hinder commercial use of pictures for anything but quotation-like contexts, but that's not our problem, since it's entirely independent of copyright and thus not something that we should care about.--NSX-Racer 16:30, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
 Delete Derivative work, contains not free software screenshot. --EugeneZelenko 16:40, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well, then we may also delete pics like that: Image:Itunesquellen.png or Image:Itunesfilm.png (also iTunes).--NSX-Racer 16:55, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sure. These images too. --EugeneZelenko 16:58, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Blank the screen, reupload, and delete this revision. -- Bryan (talk to me) 15:05, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
?? Neither the phone nor the screen isn't copyrighted? That means both is copyrighted? Confused...--NSX-Racer 08:48, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think Historiograf meant, "Neither the phone nor the screen is copyrighted." While the UI design is somewhat simple, I'm not sure that's enough to say there's nothing copyrighted about it. The icons at the bottom of the screen in particular concern me, even more than the tiny album cover images, which are pretty unusable. Dancter 20:23, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. Regardless of whether there can be copyright in the shape of the phone itself (I tend to think not as it's so simple) this is at the very least a clear copyvio of the logos on the screen. There is an interesting article which supports this on Wikinews, though interestingly this image is even used there. See [1]. I think it would be ok if the image were to be re-uploaded with the screen blanked. --MichaelMaggs 07:42, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
