Value of public domain photos
samedi 25 avril 2015 à 14:00A study estimates the value of public domain photos in Wikipedia as around $250 million dollars per year.
In other words, this is the value of just part of the benefit that we get from the fact that the copyrights on photos thru 1923 have expired in the US.
If we wipe out the copyrights on more recent photos, the additional benefit will probably be substantial too.
