Bob, just to clarify the point at the end of the debate let me ask you a fair question. I see also a certain connection to the copyright question as it's known in chess games collections. First of all I want to state that I do NOT want to re-open the question if the actual war is illegal or wrong or such. We have our opinions and this is ok. But since I was the one who made the input with the "art" let me ask you the following. The author of the - what I called - "postcards" published the following: A) Photos as they were published in the internet, original copies, not changed by any kind of fake or additions or deletions. B) A famous wording out of political propaganda. With a single change here for the nationality of the soldiers. So from say the old Russian he set it to American. Of course the combination of A) and B) is a very ugly and aggressive message. But that is typical for political propaganda. Otherwise we wouldn't call it propaganda! Political art propaganda is a term well known and surely NOT sort of private opinion of an individual who uses the term. That being said, I would ask you why (in your view) the author (I read here that it was Dr. Donninger) got so many flame attacks. Next question: Since Chrilly changed the original wording into the new sense by adding "American" [NB that I have no informations about the content of the alleged emails!], isn't the postcard per se copyrighted? With the same idea like the collections in chess. A gamescore alone has no copyright but a photo with a new underline certainly is. Yes? What do you think about the two questions? Best, Rolf
