Okay okay I get it Google Copy Bot, Magnum Photo owns the copyright to Philippe Halsman's portraits . Oh and ALSO THE POSES?!?! WTF
A few weeks ago I posted a recreation of a famous portrait taken in 1951 by Philippe Halsman of Anna Magnani. I also attempted to upload a 400x300 pixel scan of the original. Googles uploading software accepted my photo but rejected the original. Okay fair enough. I would argue that I'm using the image for critical purposes and therefore not infringing on Magnum's copyright. But I didn't think the bot would go as far as to remove my own image as well. What a slight impediment to my self-expression!
