43. Mona Lisa - Copyrightable
From the The Copyright Litigation Blog:
A basic tenet of copyright law is that once a copyright has expired, it
enters the public domain, for all to use. But when someone adds a
copyrightable contribution to a public domain work, that contribution
is copyrightable.

47. Fair Use or Copyright Infringement?
Instragrams says, “People in the Instagram community own their photos,
period. On the platform, if someone feels that their copyright has been
violated, they can report it to us and we will take appropriate action. Off the
platform, content owners can enforce their legal rights.”
washingtonpost.com
In its most general sense, a fair use is any copying of copyrighted material
done for a limited and “transformative” purpose, such as to comment upon,
criticize, or parody a copyrighted work. Such uses can be done without
permission from the copyright owner. In other words, fair use is a defense
against a claim of copyright infringement. If your use qualifies as a fair use,
then it would not be considered an illegal infringement. -
