The most recent Supermoon and the inevitable pictures got me thinking.
If I take a picture of the full moon, a basic full moon on a black background, I hold the copyright on that picture, right?
If you do it, you have the copyright on yours.
As with any photograph, fairly extensive changes can be made to my picture without me losing the copyright on it. Including changes that make it pixel identical to yours, since the pictures are very very close to start with.
Am I missing something? I'm sure I've seen this line of thought before, and I don't remember where, if anywhere, it went.
