Hello--
        I believe that the decision under discussion was Bridgeman Art
Library v. Corel Corporation. "A Federal district court in New York in
November held that photographic reproductions of two-dimensional works,
which themselves are in the public domain, do not have the requisite
amount of originality to be protected by copyright."
        For more on this, see (http://www.panix.com/~squigle/rarin/corel2.html)
