[Foundation-l] Dead Sea Scrolls

[Billinghurst]

Is the copyright claim on the scroll or the image.  I would expect the latter and they are 
perfectly entitled to claim copyright on the image, the issue is that in various countries 
it could be held true by the courts that it is in copyright, and in others it isn't.  
Truth in copyright claims is like truth in advertising. ;-)
