Paris is also one of the city is busy in addition to several other important cities in America and Europe. Look at this town became a favorite place of visit in addition to other major cities in Europe and America.
Coupled with the iconic Eiffel Tower of Paris and the French state, this city has become a tourist attraction for the tourists. Moreover, the views of the Eiffel Tower is truly captivating look oada night to make this city a favorite.
But, you know that the Eiffel tower has been granted copyright?
In 2003, the SNTE (Société nouvelle d'exploitation de la tour Eiffel) installed a new lighting at the Eiffel Tower. This effect is aimed at making the picture other night illumination and viewing tower under copyright. As a result, no longer allowed to disseminate images of the tower at night without permission in some countries.
Granting copyright is controversial. Director of Documentation for SNTE, Stéphane Dieu, commented in January 2005, "It is only intended to maintain the commercial use of images, so it is not used in ways that we do not approve of." But, also may have the effect of prohibiting tourist photographs of the tower at night day spread also spread the image that does not aim for profit and semi-commercial to the tower.
In the latest decision, the Court of Cassation stated that copyright can not be claimed against the image that includes copyrighted building if the photograph covers a larger area. This indicates that SNTE can not claim copyright on photographs of Paris that includes the appearance of the tower.
In some jurisdictions, this copyright claim is not allowed. On the copyright laws of the Republic of Ireland, the work "permanently committed in public places or places open to the public" can be freely included in visual reproduction.
