Subject: Re: photos from unpublished private archives

"Article 63 of the ZASP stipulates that in anonymous and pseudonymous works, as well as in audiovisual and collective works that have not been lawfully published, protection shall expire within 70 years from the date of their creation (so such works have no protection if created before 1. 1. 1950). [...] It should be noted, however, that not all photographs are copyrighted work. In order to be recognized as a work of authorship, they must fulfill the conditions of Article 5 of the ZASP: that they are individual intellectual creations in the field of literature, science and art, which are expressed in any way. They are not copyrighted works, for example: routine photojournalism, average amateur photographs (family, holiday, occasional shots), routine portraits for documents, etc. However, it is necessary to evaluate individually for each photographic work whether the conditions laid down in the first paragraph are fulfilled."
