This poses an interesting question on what happens when we are genetically engineering :) Because then in fact it *is* a work made by humans (or at least adapted, just like a cut wooden tree, a carved stone tablet etc), and in some cases even artictic somehow (think of the glowing fish). Anyway, not that it is very relevant, but an intriguing mindgame :)

While on holiday in Italy i took some pix of plants in a botanical garden. There was no admittance fee, it was publicly accessible.
Can i upload the pix of the plants I took there, or does the owner of the botanical garden has some form of ownership?
Plants are not covered by copyright, as they are not "works" created by human originality. You can upload them without any problems.
