RE: Apparently It's Illegal to Publish Pictures of the Atomium

in #blog6 years ago

If they don't want the building to be seen then they need to put a tarp over it or plant a bunch of trees to hide it. It is cow crap that they can build in plain view and then try and tell people that they can share what they can legally view in an open space in the form of a photograph.
That is just how absurd this world has become, someone needs to file suit against them for building the building and blocking their line of sight to what ever is behind the building on the next block or piece of property.
Make the suit where you want no monetary damages, just to have the building torn down for obstructing the view.
Then they might reconsider their position on photos.

Sort:  

Yeah it's just plain ridiculous and completely violates any rights we have as citizens. I'd post the picture, if I had the money to fight those charges/fines, just to make a point.

This isn't the only building that's "copyrighted" btw, while doing some research, I've found numerous examples. The EU is soon going to have one of the strictest copyright laws in the world. I wouldn't be surprised if someone eventually copyrights the sound of a fart, just to charge anyone who lets one go :P

Total bullcrap!

Hell, if you can't beat them, join them, go get that fart sound copyrighted and then start collecting. People will literally crap their pants to keep from paying you.
