:::: I think the photo is probably OK. There are bits of copyrightable stuff on the carton but the photograph is not particularly focusing on any of them. This is what the Ets-Hokins decision was about, mostly -- only photos primarily of the label would be copyrightable. I could see some dissension on the carton, as it is there to show what the carton looks like, but the focus is on the whole carton and most of the elements are not really copyrightable, and the photo does not seem to be focusing on the ones that are.
