Seems ridiculous.

If you have a one cent coin in your pocket it belongs to you ... no?

It is your property.

Therefore you can freely take and sell a photograph of it.

"Weve told the federal government very, very clearly that we do not agree with this, Mr. Sack said."

That'll probably take care of it.

The penny is public domain, Mr. Wanagas said. This is a coin that many people, if they see one on the ground, they wont even bend over to pick it up. So lets be real here.


Priceless.....

Just because it is your property doesn't mean you have the right to use a photo of it in advertising, that's copyright. I don't mind them asserting their copyright over image of the penny (Canada follows UK law closely and the Bank of England does it). I very much object to them trying to assert a copyright on the term "one cent" since it was around before Canada even existed.
