Has anyone come across this situation?  If so, would you share the outcome.
Thank you.

Were working with a faculty member who recently went to Paris and took
pictures of famous works at the Louvre, Picassos work to be specific. (She
was allowed to take pictures at them museum.)  She wants to know if there are
any copyright issues with her posting those works onto our Blackboard course
server.  Typically if the instructor owns the work, theres no problem
uploading it to a server.  However, if someone else owns the work, permission
must be granted. So the question is:  who owns the pictureor better, image?
The instructor?  Picasso?
