Hello MCN, This may be a rather dense question regarding copyright law...but as it's outside my area of expertise I figured this community could provide a great reference point. My own research is not turning up an good answers/examples either!
Do any institutions assign different copyright statements to derivatives of the same image, depending on that image's resolution? Take for example, a photo of a Greek urn in a museum collection. Would it be common practice for a high-resolution TIFF of this photo to bear a "(c)Museum Institution, 2014" statement, while a medium-resolution JPG of the same photo would bear a "(c) Creative Commons License"? Does this scenario fit within basic copyright law or guidelines? If anyone is differentiating copyright statements based on image resolution, do you have this policy written/documented in a shareable way? Thanks for any feedback you might have!
