I was looking for supplementary material regarding the [[Quetzal]]
article, and ended up with a copyright question.
An organization maintains a web-cam in front of a hummingbird feeder in
Costa Rica. Most of the time there are no visitors to the feeder. On
one occasion I find a great specimen has come to feed, and I save the
picture. Although the owner of the web-cam maintains an archive, I have
made a point not to use an archived picture.
The question: Does the owner of the web cam have any copyright claim on
the picture that I have downloaded? I suspect not, because he made no
creative effort to shoot that particular picture. I would be interested
in other opinions.
