Thats a question regarding when a combined work is created (not about code communicating over a network...).

Its not that difficult question to look into. Imagine that I would "convey" a photo by using img tags and "link" proprietary photos inside advertisement banners. Would the banner count as a combined work, or as two separate and disconnected works?

I would lean towards the single combined work, because thats how I think a non-technical judge would look at it.
