Photos by Ernő Kovács Márton

Like the Hunyady-case there is an another problem with photos of Fortepan. These pictures’ author is Ernő Kovács Márton, a Hungarian photographer. We know almost nothing about his life (unknown birth and death date). However, the last photos were taken in 1950 which means he was then still alive. Therefor the pictures cannot be under public domain and CC 3.0 (because probably he didn’t donate the photos to Fortepan). The Fortepan’s blog says that "the last pieces of the borrowed 2000 photo negatives were taken in April of 1950." Bencemac (talk) 08:58, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

 Support, Fortepan is unreliable source. --Pallerti (talk) 09:18, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

 Support per above. Mass uploads from Fortepan should be forbidden on Commons. With Fortepan, each and every photo has to be judged separately, beause in a lot of cases people simply donate photos they found in the attic, or even photos they found on the internet, and there is no guarantee that the donor is actually the copyright owner...

The list was made by AWB therefor there can be false hits.
