This is somewhat demonstrative of how thin-on-the-ground copyright protection is relative to where creators want it to be (especially when considering what AI-generated art does to the industry). Many artists seem to think the protection is thicker, but here we see an example of doing a painting based on a photograph being sufficiently transformative.

It's not the the painting was found to be sufficiently transformative, but rather that the photograph was ruled to be ineligible for copyright protection in the first place. I'm not familiar with Belgian copyright law so I can't really comment on how reasonable that ruling is. Under American copyright law it would be absurd.

    Oops, my mistake. Not sure where I got Belgium from.
