The fact that you are an illegal organization in the US doesn't mean that you lose the right to copyright your works. Lokal _Profil 20:35, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The organization couldn't even legally own the copyright in their home country. Actually, if you look at the FARC's thinking, they are a separatist organization. The territory they own is sovereign unto them. And they have no copyright law. Ergo, this is copyright free in its home country. Although I do not believe anyone on Commons would accept this legal fiction and therefore I do not actually vote keep. -Nard 02:25, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DeleteAll new art works are copyrighted by someone. The FARC may be an illegal organisation now, but so were the current rulers of South Africa and Israel. The FARC and its members may be in no position to enforce copyright now, but they may well be in the future. --Simonxag 00:53, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So is the FARC a member of a copyright treaty? Do they have a copyright law? For that matter do they even have a civil code? -Nard 02:13, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Is that relevant? From Colombias point of view FARC members are Colombian citizens and I'm sure Colombia has signed a copyright treaty. Unless colombian copyright law has a clause about terrorists (in the eyes of colombian law) not having the right to copyright protect their works we must assume that copyright protection applies. /Lokal _Profil 08:34, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is ridculous. Keep the picture and declare it for fairuse. Amonixinator 05:27, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's no fair use on the Commons.--Simonxag 00:34, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We do not know who actually took the photo, nor may anyone else for that matter.I am sure copy right is the last thing on their mind from a practical point of view. They also are a bunch of outlaws by everyone —the preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.176.159.13 (talk • contribs)

If the owner can actually prove copyright, then simply send a Cease and Desist letter from their attorney. —the preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.242.239.249 (talk • contribs) 05:17, January 15, 2008

Or why don't they wait until there's money to be made from a lawsuit like smart people do?!!!!!!!! Old music industry proverb:- Where there's a hit, there's a writ. --Simonxag 01:07, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copy right or not the world need to realise the FARC are not more than mercenaries with no-political objectives different than kidnapping, murdering and drug-trafic.—the preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.171.129.70 (talk • contribs)

Keep the picture and declare it for information use!! Internet it is about info and as far FARC does not have a legal form or any representation to bring the site down, as of being persecute by any lawyer, and more important, as long as they keep them selfs abstract, there will not be any copyright for them.

I think that copyright matters little to a Marxist organisation.--76.238.153.237 03:35, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
