@Hoeg Law But if you take a photo of my baby, do you own the photo? But it is my baby. Imagine that I shared the photo. But imagine that you copyrighted the photo. But imagine that it is my baby. Then imagine that I edited the photo to comply with Fair Use, to transform the photo. Then imagine that the photo was taken on public property. Imagine if the baby just so happened to be in the background of the photo.

Better yet, imagine that 300 photographers took photos of President Trump during a public speech and then imagine that each photographer copyrighted their photos even as all the different photos are nearly identical to each other.

If somebody infringed upon the rights of one of the copyrights, how is that not like an infringement upon all of the copyrights on the grounds that they are all basically photos of the same person during the same hour or the same exact minute in the same exact place?
