The designer of the Statue of Liberty, Frédéric Bartholdi, died in 1904. The copyright has long since expired. It's public domain.
Walt Disney also died a long time ago. Yet the mouse is still under copyright. [1] [1] https://mag.orangenius.com/how-mickey-mouse-keeps-changing-c...

NYC owns the Statue of Liberty - maybe they should sue the sculptor for copyright claims... a virtuous circle.
It's governed by the US National Park Service, and it's a derivative work.

Yeah, how cheesy that the US (the US!) post office used a Vegas statue instead of the one on Ellis Island. What were they thinking!?
The statue is on Liberty Island, not Ellis Island.
So what do you exactly pay for when you license an image from Getty?
You get permission from Getty to use the image. Copyright of derivative works is additive: If you want to use an interesting photo of a sculpture, you need permission from both the photographer and from the sculptor. In this case, Getty represents the photographer, but you still need permission from the sculptor. Getty's license claims "Who owns the content? All of the licensed content is owned by either Getty Images…
Seems like Getty caused damages to the scultpor. Why wasn’t getty sued for profiting off the scultor’s work?

What about “work for hire”?
From the link: > Work made for hire and commissioned work are different from one another because work made for hire involves an employee and commissioned work is executed by an independent contractor.
