Here is an actual example.
Last week, I visited the Cincinnati Museum Center (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cincinnati_Museum_Center_at_Union_Terminal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cincinnati_Museum_Center_at_Uni...) and saw the traveling exhibit, "America I Am", presented by Tavis Smiley.
As I entered the exhibition, a museum attendant informed me I was not allowed to take any videos or pictures of anything within the exhibit (with or without flash).
As I walked through the exhibit, I noticed a copy of the Declaration of Independence. For those of you unaware, this document was created in approximately 1776. The copy on exhibit is one of 25 remaining copies of approx. 200.
If I were to take a picture of the Declaration of Independece, would that be theft? Would it be copyright infringement?
Ironically, at the end of the exhibit, visitors have an opportunity to record a video of themselves, which is then uploaded and distributed to the "America I Am" website (http://www.americaiam.org http://www.americaiam.org).
