Clarification on photograph copyright term

Regarding the copyright term of photographs, this page says 20 years after publication while {{PD-AR-Photo}} also adds 25 years after creation. As far as I can tell, the mismatch is because Argentinian law specifies the 20 year term (11.723/2009 Article 34, while the Berne Convention says:

It shall be a matter for legislation in the countries of the Union to determine the term of protection of photographic works and that of works of applied art in so far as they are protected as artistic works; however, this term shall last at least until the end of a period of twenty-five years from the making of such a work. (Article 7, Section 4)

That condition should be clarified on this page since it's not clear from reading it why the conditions should be 25 years after creation AND 20 years after publication unless you go digging into the laws, as above. clpo13_(talk) 20:48, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

• I have made that clarification. The Berne convention implies that the photo must pass the threshold of originality, but Argentine law does not seem to discuss that, so it is safest to assume all photos are covered. Aymatth2 (talk) 21:13, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

Clarification on government emblems

According to PD-AR-Gov "works created and regulated by National or Provincial Governments of Argentina, such as official symbols or emblems" are PD. But then the article also says "The ownership of anonymous intellectual works belonging to institutions, corporations or legal persons shall last for 50 years from the date of publication of those works." The government of Argentina is an institution." Which, I assume, means that copyright for works created by the government lasts for 50 years after the date of publication. Does anyone know which one is "correct"? --Adamant1 (talk) 17:23, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
