[QUOTE="ycon, post: 2973608, member: 91771"][USER=39084]@IdesOfMarch01[/USER] Respectfully, I think it is you who is misunderstanding the issues at hand. As you would have seen had to followed the links provided "“exact reproductions of public domain artworks are not protected by copyright.” This certainly covers both photographs of the coins I used in my post. (It is not at all parallel to your example of a Mozart recording, which constitutes a new artistic act.) This would not cover the page from the CNI, however that is a moot point as that is an out of copyright work (it would be like claiming who ever photocopied the book now has copyright over it). One could argue that the photograph of Perseus is not a "slavish copy" but that is also a moot point since it is an out of copyright photograph from wikipedia where it is posted by its original author under a creative commons copyright free notice. That leaves only the picture of the Saliera, which is from the Kunsthistoriches museum website, and which does not, I believe, satisfy the need from Bridgeman v. Corel to be original. The Kunsthistoriches museum, additionally, allows the use of its images for non-commercial purposes. I advice you to research more about Bridgeman, rather than cite your previous job experience. Wikipedia is a good place to start: "Even though accurate reproductions might require a great deal of skill, experience and effort, the key element to determine whether a work is [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_copyright_law']copyrightable under US law[/URL] is originality." [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridgeman_Art_Library_v._Corel_Corp[/url]. I'm sorry that this thread has become about copyright issues, rather than the coins and history I posted.[/QUOTE]
