  • URAA problems: Pakistan was founded in 1947. Pakistan copyright law says photographs keep copyright 50 years past publication. This means that nothing went out of copyright in Pakistan before the U.S. implemented the URAA, giving it a U.S. Copyright, and making it ineligible for Wikipedia. This is an awful situation, but not one that we can do anything about. Adam Cuerden (talk) 12:22, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hmm... I have some questions regarding this: When does that US copyright expire? And if this copyright is assumed, are no images created in Pakistan (after 1947) eligible to be used on Commons? (I was planning of uploading a dozen or so images of really historic events) —ШαмıQ @ 14:37, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
