Something else that has come up here, for example in the Maersk case,
is purely digital pictures. If I, for example, create a digital model
of some creation using Lego elements, then make a digital picture of
that which I put on the web, would that be 'fixed in a tangible
medium'? Let's assume that I never actually build the creation with
physical Lego elements. Would the floppy disk that I could copy my
digital picture onto count as a tangible medium? It seems likely that
it would count as such, but perhaps this is a good thing to state
explicitly.

Johannes.
