Invitation to discussion about FoP In Bangladesh
[edit]Dear @A1Cafel: ,
I hope you are well. While addressing some recent copyright questions, I read the entire Copyright Act, 2023 of Bangladesh. During this review, I noticed that COM:FOP Bangladesh was removed following the discussion at Commons:Village_pump/Copyright/Archive/2024/09#Bangladesh without full analysis of the law.
After conducting a detailed review of the full statute, I have become reasonably confident that architectural works are not protected by copyright in Bangladesh under the current act. Based on this interpretation, images of architecture and sculptures that are not created by carving or molding should be eligible for upload as free works on Commons.
I have outlined the relevant legal reasoning and citations in a discussion at Commons:Village_pump/Copyright#FoP in Bangladesh. I realize the post is quite long, but I attempted to address the issue as comprehensively as possible.
I would greatly appreciate your thoughts and feedback there.Tausheef Hassan Auntu ✉Talk? 19:21, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
