A lot of problems around copyright is a self-inflicted mess caused by (IMO) wrong abstractions, not reflecting the nature of the works and the media. For instance, photography has an issue of copyrights on buildings, which is prima facie a ridiculous concept, but it is recognized to some extent around the world, including in the US.

Completely, if I’m a photographer in Texas I would be worried about the effect of this ruling on my work. It’s hard for people to understand when they hire a photographer that even though they paid for images and prints they might not even have the right to modify and/or print more. But this sidesteps that completely.
