I might understand the point if what you were trying to sell was a picture of the tower- that is, if the image of tower itself were the reason people are paying for something. If it's just part of a crowded the background, though, as in this case, it doesn't make sense. You can't put in the sky an object visible from everywhere and then ask people to pay (or even just ask permission) to use pictures that include it.

It becomes more complex if you are an Instagram influencer and share yourself with Eiffel tower on the background - do you need to share loyalties and how much of it?

  I wonder- if I need to pay royalties to share a picture including a building, can I sue the owners of the building for popping up in my pictures? If I am an instagram influencer, can I ask owners of buildings to pay me for the space they occupy in my pictures?

    not unless they see you getting ready to take the picture and they jump in and build it in the background just as you snap your selfie.

    The thing is, yes you can try to ask the owners. But what do you do, when they refuse? Because it is not in the owners interest, it is in yours interest. The thing with the influencer is, that s/he does that for commercial purposes. The list published by Adobe give you a hint what is allowed and what not. I don't know if the list is a complete list and I didn't verified the details. But it gives you something.

      > yes you can try to ask the owners. But what do you do, when they refuse? The same thing they would do if you didn't want to pay them: you sue them. For abusive occupation of your pictures. I am being paradoxical, but the point I want to make is that if you want to make profits or claim any rights on the image you project in a public space (admitted that it should even be allowed, since you didn't pay for said space) then you must also accept the liabilities deriving by the same. You should not be allowed to claim the rights and disown the liabilities.
