   Right.   
      
   So if a scan is published or otherwise legally accessable,   
   the Berner Convention applies internationally [meaning: in most countries],   
   so only "creative" changes are copyrightable.   
      
   Copyright does not have to be stated, it is implicit.   
      
   While copyright has to be claimed to be exercisable, that does not mean that   
   claim to be exercisable outside the constraints of the law.   
      
   Methinks, in the realm of genealogy, most claims are just false and   
   misleading.
