Nothing new here. Its always been understood that in theory if you see a photo and take another photo that is similar enough to it to be considered a derivative work that that is a copyright violation. However in most cases it would be extremely hard to prove and people don't care enough to try. -- geni _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
