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.
Ciao Henning
