OK, so the moderation of this mailing list appears to be broken (surely such emails should at least be held for approval by a moderator?). But please see my previous email (which I sent after hitting the 'reply' button)…
Thanks, Mike

This sounds like a question to ask on Wikimedia Commons, rather than on this mailing list - particularly since the Commons community is the one that needs to monitor and maintain such a legal position! Also asking the question at the talk page of http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Legal_and_Community_Advocacy might be a good idea.
Thanks, Mike

A question about copyright, who owns the copyright on Xrays and are they even copyrightable? I have uploaded a few of them and no one seems to know the answer. I guess the options would be:
- They are in the public domain
https://open.umich.edu/wiki/Casebook#Radiograph_.28X-Ray.29 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_the_United_Kingdom#Works_eligi...
- The X ray tech who took the image
- The person / institution who paid to have the image taken
a) The HMO or patient if in the USA b) The government if in many parts of the world 4) The doctor who ordered the image 5) The doctor who read the image 6) The hospital / shareholders of the hospital who owns the equipment 7) All of the above / some of the above / none of the above
Would be good to have a legal position on this.

It seems like a perfectly valid topic for this list.

Hi, all.
I believe Mike was commenting on the fact that his message was bounced back (because of an email funky) and not the topic itself. In fact, I've been caught by that exact same filter myself.
Sorry if I've read your message wrong.
