I have no horse in this race, but this seems pretty silly, if you accept the premise of copyright law to begin with^.

I mean, who owns the copyright on a major motion picture? It's usually not the people holding the camera...

There's more to photography than pressing the button on the camera.

^ - As someone who never expects to make money from photography, I can appreciate Wikimedia trying to make information more free though.
