So, if I a built a miniature castle inside a random house I broke into while the owners were away, and took photos of my creativity...assuming the actual trespassing is not at issue, the photographs would probably be entitled to copyright protection, and maybe registered design protection in the 3D shape of the miniature castle. What I couldn't possibly do by law, is to prevent the owner of the property (once he returns) from destroying my handicraft, if he so finds it objectionable - which I'm certain he most probably would. So maybe the only way to save Banksy is by making derivative works, on his behalf, and displaying these in a Museum.<br />Oh, btw, the last paragraph has a wrong misspell "Bansky's" instead of Banksy's, :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2941976044448685733.post-68811104696621574702011-07-19T13:21:38.339+01:002011-07-19T13:21:38.339+01:00My understanding is that Copyright in artistic wor...My understanding is that Copyright in artistic works/ literary works protects not the structure on which the work has been fixed (i.e the physical structure of the painting) but the embodiment of the work.
