Funny, I thought I had copyright in those photos that I took of Stonehenge 12-1/2 years ago. 35mm film in a panoramic point and shoot camera. I’ll have to dig out the prints and scan them so I can post them to flickr. With my copyright on them.
“LOOSE THE KRAKEN!”
Oh, sorry – wrong antiquities.
Pssst… Buddy… wanna score some bootleg pictures of Stonehenge? They’re the real deal, no Photoshopping [TM].
