Sorry,

But current copyright law applies to ALL photographs, and to all other
copyright material, regardless of when produced.

I'm not disputing that. I just think that in cases like the one I
posted, that law is ridiculous.

And again I ask, aren't "ex post facto" laws unconstitutional?

But of course this isn't a homegrown law, from what I read it's an
intenational treaty. It's almost enough to make me an isolationist :-).
