Tim -  

I got the information at the ALI ABA course Legal Issues of Museum Administration,  Portland Oregon or possibly from something via AAM.  

I have no doubts about my information. As I clearly stated, I do not have the citation. Those that doubt it can research it further wading through various web sites or contact with a copyright attorney. It was a case within the last 10 probably last 5 years. It involved a photographer and a museum. It received quite a bit of attention.

As far as I am aware, that's incorrect. Please cite the cases.
