MattH Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Thanks for the links. I'm sure most people here have heard about this already. Pretty rediculous.A copyright on a buiding should be to stop people copying the bulding. That is: building a building that is identical. To say that no-one is alowed to own artistic depictions of your design that you have plonked in a public space is an afront to freedom and common sense. Surely this would apply to painting as well. Can you imagine that? an artist isn't allowed to paint buildings anymore? Of. course it is just as rediculous for photography, but the painting example really drives home just how ludicrous this is. Thankfully, a lot of uk MEPs are ukip who will have a pretty good notion of concepts of freedom when it comes to things like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahlfors Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Yes. I signed that change.org petition. I don't feel like we need more limitations on what we're allowed to do in public space without applying for permit for everything...

Cinegain Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Hallelujah! That would've been insane. These politicians must be so damn bored that apparently they really don't have anything better to do than to come up with shit like this. I guess as long as they find ways to keep themselves preoccupied they're gonna keep their jobs and with that those ridiculous salaries and benefits.
