These photographs are derivative works of copyrighted sculptures located in the USA where freedom of panorama law does not apply to such objects (see Commons:Derivative works) --JeremyA 22:55, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

 Delete. Unfortunately, this is the case. --Delirium 00:04, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
But this is not a US artist! He is French! Does this mean I can purchase something in one country, take it somewhere else where different copyright law holds, and now make different laws valid for this? I find this absurd. --WiseWoman 06:44, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
These sculptures are located in the United States and these reproductions were made in the United States (unless you have a very long camera lens). The Wikimedia servers are also located in the United States so publishing a photo on the Commons is publishing it in the United States. The United States is a signatory to the Berne Convention, as such it is required to recognise the copyright of works of authors from other signatory countries (including France) in the same way it recognises the copyright of its own nationals. With sculptures of this nature it is also very likely that a copyright has been registered in the US. Unfortunately freedom of panorama in the US does not apply to sculptures. —JeremyA 22:50, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
There is an alternate free image of just the building at w:Image:Kentucky Centre.JPG. Please use this as a replacement where appropriate. Danged copyright laws. --W.marsh 21:08, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
