Shaunie Begley and Christine Bottross stood Tuesday on the steps outside the Vessel, the sprawling, ovalish 150-foot-high steel structure connected to the recently opened Hudson Yards on Manhattan’s West Side. Ms. Begley posed for a picture as Ms. Bottross snapped away on her camera. Another picture. Both called themselves “Instagrammers,” and their carefully curated photos were destined to be consumed by the nearly 90,000 followers they have between them. Questions over who controls a person’s social-media content soaked the Vessel in an internet rainstorm this week after the website Gothamist reported on a curious and, some legal experts said, aggressive assertion of copyright by Hudson Yards, the Vessel’s owner.
