ਕਿਵੇਂ ਪਤਾ ਕਰੀਏ ਕੇ ਕੋਈ ਕੰਮ ਕਾਪੀਰਾਈਟ ਮੁਕਤ ਹੈ।

ਭਾਰਤ ਦੇ ਕਾਪੀਰਾਈਟ ਕਾਨੂੰਨਾਂ ਦੇ ਅਧੀਨ ਵਿਕੀਸਰੋਤ ਦੇ ਕੰਮ। ਇਹ ਸਫ਼ਾ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਇਹਨਾਂ ਕਾਨੂੰਨਾਂ ਦੇ ਤਹਿਤ ਕਾਪੀਰਾਈਟ ਬਾਰੇ ਬੁਨਿਆਦੀ ਜਾਣਕਾਰੀ ਦੇਵੇਗਾ। ਸਿਰਫ ਪਬਲਿਕ ਡੋਮੇਨ ਜਾਂ ਬੇ-ਲਸਨਸੀ ਕੰਮ ਹੀ ਵਿਕੀਸਰੋਤ ਉਪਰ ਪਾਏ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਹਨ।

ਇਹ ਸਫ਼ਾ ਕਾਪੀਰਾਈਟ ਕਾਨੂੰਨਾਂ ਦੀ ਸੰਖੇਪ ਜਾਣਕਾਰੀ ਹੈ। ਕਾਪੀਰਾਈਟ ਦਾ ਵਿਸ਼ਾ ਥੋੜਾ ਮੁਸ਼ਕਲ ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ; ਇਸ ਲਈ ਅੱਗੇ ਜੋੜੇ ਸਫ਼ੇਆਂ ਰਾਹੀਂ ਵਧੇਰੀ ਜਾਣਕਾਰੀ ਵੀ ਪਾ ਸਕਦੇ ਹੋਂ।

ਇਹ ਟੇਬਲ ਹੁਣ ਦੇ ਕਾਪੀਰਾਈਟ ਬਾਰੇ ਮੋਟੀ ਜਾਣਕਾਰੀ ਦਿੰਦਾ ਹੈ। ਇਹ ਉਸ ਮਿਤੀ ਤੇ ਅਧਾਰਤ ਹੈ ਜਦੋਂ ਕੰਮ ਪਹਿਲੀ ਵਾਰ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਸ਼ਿਤ ਕੀਤਾ ਗਿਆ ਸੀ। ਵਧੇਰੀ ਜਾਣਕਾਰੀ ਲਈ, ਹੇਂਠ ਦਿੱਤੇ ਭਾਗ ਜ਼ਰੂਰ ਪੜ੍ਹੋ।

ਬਹੁਤ ਸਾਰੇ ਕਾਪੀਰਾਈਟ ਛਪਣ ਦੇ ਸਾਲ ਉੱਪਰ ਅਧਾਰਿਤ ਹਨ। ਇਹ ਟੇਬਲ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਸਮਝਣ ਵਿਚ ਮਦਦ ਕਰੇਗਾ:

Before 1923

ਸੋਧੋ

Almost all works published before 1923 are in the public domain in the United States of America.

(Unauthorised publications do not count, so if the first authorised publication was after 1922, the copyright of that edition should be used instead.)

Example licence templates
Case Template
If the author died more than 100 years ago. {{PD-old}}
If the author died in or after 1923 but the work was published before 1923. {{pd/1923|Year the author died}}

1923 to 1963

ਸੋਧੋ

Works published during this period needed their copyrights to be renewed 27–28 years after publication. The renewal had to be registered in the 28th year, not before or after. Renewal in the 27th is very close and may be approved by courts, so this year counts as well on Wikisource.

If the author of a work died before the renewal years, the rights revert to their heirs and estate. In this case, the heirs must have renewed the copyright in the 27th or 28th year. This overrode any commitments or contracts the author may have made in life. If the work was a contribution to a periodical then the publisher no longer had any right to the work and cannot have renewed the copyright.

Example licence templates
Case Template
If the copyright was not renewed. {{PD-US-no-renewal|year the author died|year the work was published}}
If the work was published outside the US, did not comply with US law and it was public domain in its home country on . {{pd/1996|year the author died}}

After 1963

ਸੋਧੋ

From renewal was no longer necessary and the period of copyright is now 95 years after publication.

Before 1978, a work published without a correct copyright notice automatically entered the public domain. Works published between and had to have either a copyright notice on publication or have their copyright registered within five years of publication; if neither happened then the work automatically entered the public domain.

The author of a work published after 1963 may have voluntarily placed the work in the public domain or published it under a free licence such as Creative Commons. In these cases, Wikisource is free to host copies of the work.

Anything else is almost certainly still under copyright and cannot be hosted on Wikisource.

Ashburn, Virginia

The computer on which Wikisource, and all the other Wikimedia projects, runs is located in Ashburn, Virginia in the United States. The charity that runs Wikimedia, the Wikimedia Foundation, is also based on the United States, in San Francisco, California. This means the the website as a whole, and all the texts it hosts, must obey the law of the United States. Even if you live outside the United States, it does not change the law that affects Wikisource and all of the works hosted by Wikisource.

Some other Wikisources and some other Wikimedia projects choose to respect non-United States copyright law. English Wikisource does not. Respecting just one set of copyright laws is the simplest system possible and even this can be very complicated at times.

Non-United States publications

ਸੋਧੋ

The rules about non-United States publications can get complicated.

Some works may be in the public domain in the United States even if they are still under copyright in their home countries. Other works may be in the public domain in their home countries but still under copyright in the United States.

For example, the last collection of Sherlock Holmes stories, The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, was published in 1927 (collecting stories published from 1921 to 1927). The author, Arthur Conan Doyle, was a British citizen, living in the United Kingdom. Under British law copyright expires 70 years after the death of the author, so this collection entered the public domain in the United Kingdom in 2001. However, it was registered in the United States and the copyright was renewed in the United States. Under United States law (for this period) copyright expires 95 years after publication, so this collection will not enter the public domain in the United States until 2023.

To make this even more complicated, the United States changed some of its laws to bring it in line with other countries. Works still in copyright outside the United States after 1996 may be under copyright in the United States regardless of any of the other copyright laws mentioned above. In 1994 the United States enacted the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA). This changed the copyright laws; bringing some non-American works out of the public domain and extending the copyright of other works. Under the URAA, if a non-United States work was still under copyright in its home country as of , its copyright status and period in the United States was changed to that of the home country. This only applies to works both published outside the United States and created by a non-United States citizen, as long as it had never been published in the United States before 1996. The URAA also means that if such a work is in the public domain in its home country, it is also in the public domain in the United States.

Some other cases

ਸੋਧੋ

Not all copyrights are based on the year of publication or the year of the author's death. For example:

  • Works of the United States Federal Government are considered to be in the public domain. Use the licence template {{PD-USGov}}.

Special notes

ਸੋਧੋ
  • Periodicals: When dealing with a periodical (such as a magazine or newspaper) the periodical and each article in the periodical all have separate copyrights. See Wikisource:Periodicals. If the issue of the periodical as a whole is still under copyright this usually applied a "blanket" copyright to everything in that issue as well.
  • Posthumous works: If the author died before publication and publication occurred after 2002, the work entered the public domain 70 years after the author's death. This applies to works first published in or after 2003 by authors who died in or before 1953.
  • Translations: A translation has a copyright separate to that of the original work. Both the original and the translation must be in the public domain for Wikisource to accept the translation.
