Summary
Does copyright prevent two photographers from taking pictures of the same subject? The notion that such 'motifs' are not protectible is a well-established principle under copyright law. A rule regularly applied only to photographic works thus far, this concept expresses a fundamental idea that extends to all other forms of art and their motifs as well.
