This is a Seventh Circuit case decided earlier this month dealing with the
copyright status of photographs under U.S. law, and may be of interest to
those following developments in this area.  In this case, the court finds
that photographs of three-dimensional objects displayed sufficient
originality to be independently copyrightable, because they were not
"slavish copies" of the originals (the standard from the familiar Corel v.
Bridgeman decision).
