If I take a picture of the Declaration of Independence
under glass at the
National Archives, I gain a copyright to my image. That does NOT give me a
copyright to the actual underlying document that I've imaged. If I take a
picture of the Lincoln Memorial, I gain a copyright to my image. Not to the item
imaged.
Quite possibly false - see Bridgeman v. Corel.
