Is possession of a paper print or transparency counted as "simple"
possession or "making"? It is now, and has been possible for some
years, to produce further paper copies from prints as well as
negatives? 

So if you take the potential to create copies as the criteria to
distinguish between "simple" possession and making, then it would
always be "making".
