Reason for the nomination:
This photo was taken in the United States in May 1997 by Troy Kimmel, KimCo Meteorological Services, Austin, TX. There is no claim or suggestion that he was working as an employee of the US federal government or that this image was ineligible for copyright for any other reason. Therefore, as an image created in the US after 1989, copyright came into being as soon as the image was made.

We request our subscribers or other interested persons to mail such items to: [address] Any such items received by the editor will be for use in STORM DATA only. Any other use will be with the permission of the owner of said items." (emphasis mine).
We have no evidence that the copyright holder permitted any further use beyond publication in Storm Data, let alone surrendered their rights into the public domain.In other languages |
