Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (383 words) |
 | The case itself was the result of Bridgeman Art Library suing Corel Corporation for making reproductions of high-quality photographic slides that the Library had made from original paintings in the public domain. |
| The Library emphasized the effort which went into the production of their slides, though this seems to have in fact hurt their case: the effort expended was to make sure the slides reproduced the originals as exactly as possible (something of value to art scholars and historians), and thus were purposefully devoid of originality. |
| The Library also emphasized that under United Kingdom law, such reproductions seemed to be protected by copyright; the Court rejected this as applying to cases under U.S. jurisdictions, and raised doubts as to whether the U.K. attitude towards these reproductions was as legally decisive as was claimed. |
