[DeTomaso] P-car shirts

[Larry-Ohio Time Corp]

Interesting. Now what about the monkey who picked up a camera and took a selfie. Who owns the rights to that photo?

Aside from the fact the slogan is backstreet thuggish, what is the issue anyway?


Posting photos on Facebook etc. you knowingly accept they are in the public domain and rescind any copyright unless expressly stated.


"Remember, only original works are eligible for copyright protection. To be original enough for copyright protection, a work needs to be created by the author themselves, and must have some minimal amount of creativity."  That is debatable in this case 😉 ; you lift someone else's photo ignoring their copyright, add a slogan and it's a copyright work of art?

"Generally, things like names, titles, slogans or short phrases aren't considered to be original enough for copyright protection."


Just saying...


Julian

Curiosity is killing this cat.  I wonder who it was and how they got the
picture.
