I before uncarefully marked the image as "missing a license" - the license removal was fixed (thx Nard). However, the video is not covered by the license, it is produced in 1956, that's after 1953 and so the license not fits the video. Per COM:L#Japan "cinematographic works are exceptionally protected for 70 years'", this screenshot is not public domain. Martin H. (talk) 03:00, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
Also File:Hayato Ikeda 1956.jpg which is from the same video. --Martin H. (talk) 03:07, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
- I wonder if wee could consider a film still as a photograph. The cut-off date for those is December 31, 1956. -Nard the Bard 13:16, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
- Read carefully. That 70-year protection clause is effective June 18, 2003, and that means the law is good on the films made on that day or after. WTCA (talk) 04:58, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
- It seems like the law works retroactively, not very special in copyright laws. The Template:PD-Japan-film even says, that prior 1953 were exempt from a change of copyright... please employ the rules of simple logic: copyright changed + prior 1953 works where exempt = post 1953 works are changed. --Martin H.

- I just had an evil thought. Read the license again. Who produced this film? If the Japanese courts have ruled that pma+38 applies for some older films, and this is an anonymous/government work, it may have fallen into the public domain as soon as 1995. ;) -Nard the Bard 03:04, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
