File:Rolling Stone issue 915 3 February 2003 reimagined 1.jpg

[edit]

Derivative of a copyrighted work (a Rolling Stone cover), where most of the content has been blurred except a small bit of text (which seems akin to a fair use image). Additionally, I think that the separation of the text and the rest of the cover (especially in more distorted images of the cover uploaded by the same user) misrepresents the headline.

Keep I made the image. Yes, it is a derivative of a copyrighted magazine cover. There is a line where a derivative work becomes its own work, and I feel that the distortion passes that standard. I asked for comments on that at Commons:Village_pump/Copyright/Archive/2022/03#Reimagining_into_the_public_domain. I would appreciate further comments here.
I feel that the file is in Commons:Project scope even if it misrepresents the headline. I made the image, and I do not feel that it misrepresents the headline, but if anyone wants to discuss then I think the place for that is at en:Bug Chasers: The men who long to be HIV+, not here, unless there is something to say about the image being outside of Commons' scope.
I appreciate this discussion because I recognize the weirdness of editing a copyrighted work to preserve uncopyrightable elements while cutting out copyrighted elements.

Deleted: per nomination. The uploader's intentions are appreciated, but there are situations when removing or blurring DW material to the extent that any copyright problem will be avoided will not leave anything realistically useful. --Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 18:09, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
