What happens when you photograph something that someone else owns the copyright to? Eg: If I photographed a piece of artwork, do I own the copyright of that image? A good enough camera and some editing afterwards could produce a pretty excellent digital copy of said piece of art, even though it's technically a photo.
What about video? If I record a movie with a cam corder do I now own the copyright to the video I made and can distribute it legally?
- grabeh 14y agoA creation can simultaneously attract its own copyright protection (if sufficient labour/skill has been expended in its creation) whilst at the same time infringe a third party copyright. In the above examples, if there is a substantial reproduction of the original artwork notwithstanding the subsequent manipulation, there would be a prima facie case of copyright infringement.
