An interesting question seems to be if pointing a camera against some existing object that you neither own nor controle should actually be considered art-work or intellectual property. To me, claiming ownership to a picture of others art-work (an ancient temple, an haute couture dress or a couple of boobs owing their 'grandeur' to a skilled surgeon) is also copy-right infringement - maybe not in legal western sense but morally and ethical.
