Bridgeman vs. Corel only applies to reproductions made in the US of 2D 
works. For example, if someone takes a photograph in a State Museum in 
Italy, the copyright on that photograph belong to the photographer and 
to the museum (that's an Italian peculiarity) and by no means it can be 
uploaded as PD-art.
