Hello everyone I'm Joyce I'm from Taiwan from this region my username is Joyce wiki wiki so simple to remember I'm your next host for the session of the technology advocacy and ECF region for the lightning talk and no more talking from me let's welcome our next speaker over there give an applause hello I'm supposed to speak to you about freedom of panorama so I guess I should start with defining what it is freedom of panorama is considered something of a confusing item there is a confusion between public spaces and public domain we're in public domain which is the status after the expiration of copyright signifies that a work can be freely reused Germany is considered as the birthplace of freedom of panorama having existed there since the 1870s it is interesting to note the partial freedom of panorama in Japan Taiwan and even the United States we're in their respective copyright laws laws only impose non-commercial restrictions for images of public art similarly in Europe Denmark Finland and Norway we have partial freedom of panorama whereas in Albania Armenia Austria Belgium Croatia Cyprus the Czech Republic Germany of course Hungary Ireland Liechtenstein Malta Moldova the Netherlands North Macedonia Poland Portugal Serbia Slovakia Spain Sweden Switzerland Turkey and Great Britain and Northern Ireland all have freedom of panorama in my country the Philippines our national congress is in the midst of pending legislative bills in both its lower and upper chambers respectively to institute freedom of panorama my thematic Wikimedia organization the Philippines panorama community is actively monitoring developments and updating our meta page to contain all the legislative information as they develop as their outcome shall affect what images we need to share in Wikipedia projects you may find out more about the information that we share in meta we have bills in the Philippine Senate and the Philippine Congress we have actually more than one bill spending in both houses I would also like to point out that further research can be done about fair use which can be found in meta we have an exemption doctrine policy which is required by Wikimedia licensing policies for any Wikimedia project that hosts non-free content some edps are listed at the wikipedia item wiki data item wikipedia non-free content criteria which has a number of zero four three nine one zero eight nine note that regardless of policy some Wikimedia projects have zero local media files and therefore since there are no non-free content if the situation is permanent the policy may actually be superseded we're almost done thank you journey this is such an important topic within the ECI region i'm actually very happy that taiwan is part of the presentation so um we can scroll up a bit i still have a minute i believe freedom of panorama is the legal right in some countries to publish pictures of artworks sculptures paintings buildings or monuments that are in public spaces even if they are 30 seconds under copyright thank you very much thank you johnny
