| Permission (Reusing this file) |
The photo was published simultaneously in many newspapers, some of which had no copyright notice at all (neither for the photo in particular, nor for the newspaper as a whole). For example:
Copyright was therefore forfeited per section 9 of the Copyright Act of 1909, which required that notice of copyright be affixed to every published copy. Also published without copyright notice in The Instant It Happened. New York: H.N. Abrams & The Associated Press. 1976. p. 201.. (The book contained only an "All Rights Reserved" notice, which is not a valid copyright notice under US law.) The photo's country of origin is unclear, as it was distributed by the Associated Press and may have been published simultaneously in any number of countries. Per the Berne Convention's definition of "country of origin", the country with the shortest copyright term out of those where the photo was published would be the country of origin. Thus it is likely that the photo will be eligible for transfer to Wikimedia Commons on January 1, 2055, 50 years after the photographer's death, the shortest copyright term allowed among Berne Convention countries.
