Save the Freedom of Panorama [EU]

[.spider.]

The EU plans to abolish the freedom of panorama in the whole EU, which means that you'll see more photographs like this this.

 

The current situation around the world ,in future the EU could be entirely red.

 

What you can do is to write your MEP an e-mail a letter or at least tweet them if they are having Twitter.

Because Australia?

Even though Romania is in the EU apparently freedom of panorama isn't a thing here, even though I never noticed it.

How would they enforce this? DRM built into cameras and phones?

Sue people for showing pictures online or in public.

I haven't heard of this ever before, but it sounds pretty stupid to get rid of it... 

What are their reasons for abolishing it? 

 

Do countries that don't have this law really regulate it and enforce it? Like France for example, they don't seem to have it according to that map. 

 

We should have just left the EU already  <_<

Actually the EU isn't really planning on anything yet.

 

One MEP drafted a report on the issue, and suggested that the freedom of panorama should be extended to the entire EU (whereas today, it's left to member states, some of which do NOT have this freedom). Then some committee members proposed the exact opposite.

 

They're still early in the process, but of course it's always a good idea to give them a nudge in the right direction, even while they're still figuring things out.

I just noticed Julia Reda, who made the original report with its proposal to extend the freedom of panorama to the entire EU, is a member of the German pirate party. Maybe that's why the counter-proposal is so extreme.
