Hm, maybe you can find some more details about that case? As I understood it, the EU copyright directive does not say anything about freedom of panorama either way (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_panorama#European_Union https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_panorama#European_U...), but maybe there are some subtleties.
- Freak_NL 11y agoFrom what I can tell without any legal expertise, the EU Copyright Directive provides a way for countries to make certain exceptions (article 5(3)), which literally includes the case of architecture and sculptures in a public setting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_Directive https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_Directive So whereas the Netherlands sensibly chose to enact this exception, other countries selectively allowed certain situations, such as the lights of the Eiffel Tower and possibly Belgium's Atomium landmark. This blog post (in Dutch) contains a good summary of the Dutch bridge case: http://www.nandoonline.com/?p=4543 http://www.nandoonline.com/?p=4543
- vilhelm_s 11y agoThat makes sense, but it would mean that the EU directive does not override national law, right? So it would not be helpful in Sweden.
