No! This is utterly wrong. We had that problem with the German copyright law already. German and Austrian copyright law ("Urheberrechtsgesetz") makes a distinction between "Lichtbild" and "Lichtbildwerk". A "Lichtbildwerk" ia a work, and as such subject to the usual 70 years p.m.a. copyright term. Any photograph that shows even the slightest creativity is in general considered a "Lichtbildwerk". (See this case: Eurobike: OGH, Beschluss vom 12.9.2001, 4 Ob 179/01d.) A "Lichtbild" must be really simple - a frontal portrait photograph (head shot, passport photo) falls into this category. A "Lichtbild" is protected for 50 years after creation, or, if published within that term, for 50 years after the first publication. See §74(6) of the Austrian copyright law. See also [1].

I would suggest removing this template from all six images and redirecting it to {{ PD-old-70}}, or rewording it similar to {{ PD-Germany}} (where we went through all these issues already, see the talk). Lupo 09:26, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
I fully agree with Lupo -- Historiograf 00:00, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
