While mostly we stand by the old assumptions, it is questionable that the claim-stakers will abandon their proprietary claims for the good of society as a whole. When we look at how these populations have been mistreated and misunderstood by society, it is difficult not to want to award them reparations in the form of their own property. But this is a landscape filled with greys. We don't reproduce copyrighted novels for use by a class, because to do so would be to take the work in its entirety. These ideas are not part of any copyright code with which I am familiar.
Images are more complex than text.
The ephemerally viewed image is quite distinct and smaller than the original. As photographers of the fine arts, in spite of the ultimate impossibility of the task, we attempt to impose as little of our own aesthetic into the final image and to render an image that shows the subject as clearly and unencumbered as possible. Is it the artist's or the photographer's. In some studies we focus on the art, in other studies we try to resolve questions concerning the photography of the art. Consider the world of party jokes.
