Hmm....I guess the choice is personal here - "copyrightable" captures that well.
And if a copyright is chosen, perhaps "sweat of the brow" reasoning applies?

is not restrictive.

We have many people who scan images from books,

copyright as applicable, as public domain if they are old. Is the case
different in case we take photos from art?
Very much! A picture of the Mona Lisa is copyrightable. Even if the
painting of the Mona Lisa is out of copyright.
