El zar Iván el terrible expone sus tesoros al embajador de Isabel I


La foto del día en Wikimedia De

Dice Wiki: Ivan the Terrible Showing His Treasury to Jerome Horsey by Alexander Litovchenko. Jerome Horsey was the ambassador of Queen Elizabeth I of Great Britain, and got to know Tsar Ivan IV fairly well during his time there. Behind Ivan can be seen Fyodor, his heir.

heir = heredero.

Claro que el cuadro es posterior, de 1875, dice la misma Wikimedia. Y continúa, explicando que el cuadro está en el Russian Museum, de St. Petersburg

Acerca de los derechos sobre la obra, Wikimedia nos explica que "This image (or other media file) is in the public domain because its copyright has expired.

"This applies to the United States, Canada, the European Union and those countries with a copyright term of life of the author plus 70 years".

Pero, explica que "Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Côte d'Ivoire has a general copyright term of 99 years and Honduras has 75 years, but they do implement that rule of the shorter term".

Y advierte que "This work was in the public domain in Russia according to Law No. 5351-I of Russia of July 9, 1993 (with revisions) on Copyrights and Neighbouring Rights. But the current status of this work is unknown because of the entering in force of Book IV of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation on January 1, 2008. If it's possible, replace this license tag by {{PD-old}}, {{PD-Russia-2008}} or {{PD-RusEmpire}}."

Como yo vivo en la UE, se me aplica el primero de los casos y puedo reproducir, la pintura, sin problemas en este blog. Pero no olviden, los mexicanos, colombianos, samoanos y habitantes de la Costa de Marfil, que no lo pueden hacer... Salvo que cambien las leyes, que sería lo más saludable.
