<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cesariojpn, post: 483809, member: 11408&quot;]So exactly how does a photographer gain copyright over something that isn&#039;t copyrighted to begin with? It&#039;s like me saying that any images of the US Constitution that I make is copyrighted, even thought the Constitution itself is a public domain document!! Same with Coins and Paper Money, as works of the US government, they are public domain items; ergo, if I make a straight on photo or scan, and compliance with the counterfeiting laws, I can&#039;t claim that I made the note or image (lest I wanna run afoul of the US Secret Service)</p><p><br /></p><p>Likewise, I can&#039;t take a picture of Kermit the Frog and use that in a project unless I get permission from whomever holds that green things copyright.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
