I just read with a great deal of interest an article about a recent U.S. District Court case (2nd Circuit Court of NY) wherein it was decided that owners of photos or transparencies of artwork in the public domain can no longer claim copyright to the photos and transparencies. The article entitled "Photos Lose Copyright Rights" by Joshua Kaufman, Esq. appeared in Art Business News, January 1999. Since the article is six months old, I wondered if anything has changed about this ruling since then? Will it go to the Supreme Court?
