I wish I knew the answer to this one. I always thought that if you own the
ORIGINAL of a slide, then that technically is your slide to do whatever you
want with. But now I hear that doesn't necessarily have to be the case
anymore on this. As I understand it, a copyright is implicitly created
whenever an individual creates a work, whether that's taking a photo,
writing a book, or developing a piece of computers software. They can sell
that "work", but it is still copyrighted by THEM.

Anyone know for sure?
