I don’t know for the UK, but under the US and French law this has nothing to do with creativity, and 2D reproduction don’t grant you any new right.

Yes the idea that 2D reproductions don't grant new rights is indeed a Europeism, presumably from the French tradition and adopted into the US. The UK was sort of starting to adopt it as well before we left the EU. But the traditional view in the UK is that a photograph is a new copyrightable work. https://www.blakemorgan.co.uk/photographing-the-public-domain-eu-to-remove-copyright-protection-from-public-domain-art-images/ https://www.blakemorgan.co.uk/photographing-the-public-domai...
- kragen 7y agoUS copyright law derives from UK jurisprudence, not French, but US precedent has added a much greater requirement for originality, arguably starting with Feist.
