images and heart of the work

← Return to forum

  • Someone asked me a question that has puzzled me. Would an image in and of itself be considered the heart of the work? If it were a part of an article, for instance, and was not central to the article topic, would it still be judged on its own?

  • No, a photograph would not necessarily be the heart of a work. More likely, it is a separate work worthy of its own copyright protection.
