> This is not true. European copyright law would not allow individual member states to introduce exceptions beyond what it explicitly permits. Maybe I did not make myself clear: a country that does not have a restriction on freedom of panorama will not have a restriction after those rules. This only tries to harmonize the restrictions between the countries that have such restrictions already.

No, existing member states will have a restriction. It will only have Freedom of Panorama for non-commercial use. Member states are NOT allowed to have freedoms beyond those in the directive: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_Panorama_2015_EVA_GESAC#Will_the_provision_adopted_by_the_JURI_Committee_rule_out_the_exceptions_that_are_in_place_in_some_Member_States.3F https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_Panorama_2015_EVA...

That’s wrong! The new law would add those restrictions for ALL the countries. That’s why everyone is in such an uproar. The changed proposal would make it illegal for a nation to allow the freedom of panorama. Read the blog of the MEP who wrote the original proposal (which had a clause saying that the Freedom of panorama should apply everywhere): https://juliareda.eu/2015/06/fop-under-threat/ https://juliareda.eu/2015/06/fop-under-threat/

    Read the blogpost I linked? It’s from the MEP who wrote the original proposal, and explains why it would add those restrictions for all the countries in the first few paragraphs already.
