We need to get away from the idea that taking a picture of something is reproducing it.
Or that having a trademark in the background of something is implying an endorsement and necessitates payment.
- asalahli 6y ago> We need to get away from the idea that taking a picture of something is reproducing it. What about taking a picture of a copyrighted text?
- mantap 6y agoThe photo contains everything needed to reproduce the text. Whereas for a building a photo just captures one tiny perspective of it.
- LanceH 6y agoIf you take a picture of enough of the text, you've actually reproduced the work under copyright. No amount of pictures of a building will reproduce it. Also, if they want to claim ownership of the recording of something clearly visible in public, they should take responsibility and make payment for everyone that views it against their will. Yea, that latter half of that sounds ridiculous. The first half should as well.
