Licensing[edit]

English: This image was created by an official Japanese photographer who was either part of the Imperial Japanese Army or attached to the army in 1942. The image was taken in the Straits Settlements at the ceremony that marked the transition from British colonial control to Japanese control. As such, it could be intrepreted that British colonial law applied as being in force prior to the ceremony, Japanese law applied as being in force after the ceremony or subsequent Singaporean law applies following the independence of the territory from colonial rule. The following sections set out the licensing applicable in all three scenarios, and indicate that the image is in the public domain regardless of jurisdiction.

British colonial law[edit]

English: Under the terms of the w:Treaty of San Francisco, Allied forces confiscated all overseas assets owned by the Japanese government, firms, organization and private citizens, in all colonized or occupied countries. The photographic assets (including copyright) related to the surrender ceremony were likely seized by the Allied forces and ownership of the copyright transfered to the British colonial authorities.
Public domain
This work created by the United Kingdom Government is in the public domain.

This is because it is one of the following:

  1. It is a photograph taken prior to 1 June 1957; or
  2. It was published prior to 1974; or
  3. It is an artistic work other than a photograph or engraving (e.g. a painting) which was created prior to 1974.

HMSO has declared that the expiry of Crown Copyrights applies worldwide (ref: HMSO Email Reply)

Japanese law[edit]

  1. It was published before 1 January 1957.
