[edit]

This file was initially tagged by Urquhartnite as Speedy (speedydelete) and the most recent rationale was: (1.) Apparent copyright violation and (3.) derivative work of non-free content. (Copyright of the Governor and Company of the Bank of England.) Steinsplitter (talk) 13:06, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This discussion should be speedily closed. This is obviously a secondary copyright violation of an original copyright violation. According to the internal workings within Wikipedia, fair use of derivative works of banknotes of the English Pound, or Pound sterling, issued by the Governor and Company of the Bank of England (the Bank of England), is only permitted with a numbered individual licence, renewed annually.
This image depicts a British unit of currency. This work is protected by British Crown copyright, or in the case of banknotes is copyrighted by the issuing bank. The use of this image on Wikipedia is contended to be fair use when they are used for the purposes of commentary or criticism relating to the image of the currency itself. Any other usage, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.
Caution: Under the Forgery and Counterfeiting Act 1981 (section 18 (1)) it is an offence for any person, unless the relevant authority has previously consented in writing, to reproduce on any substance whatsoever, and whether or not on the correct scale, any British currency note or any part of a British currency note. Reproductions on Wikipedia of Bank of England currency notes are made by permission of the Bank of England, ref. FCA5132, which needs to be renewed annually. The next renewal of permission is due on 6 April 2016.
