Appears to be the same in Germany where there's freedom of panorama: art and architecture that is permanently in public space might be photographed and the pictures published without the artist's consent. It gets complicated when people are photographed. You're allowed to take pictures of crowds at events, but you are not allowed to take pictures of individuals. I could never have imagined that calling the police to protect yourself from being recorded could ruin your whole life (you know what I am talking about, ofcourse that's just one part of the fiasco that's been overlooked).
