Panorama freedom in danger

order conceptual errors: It is in this post not to admit eights together panoramas of landscapes, but the Panorama freedom in the legal sense.

Taking pictures of roads, buildings or works of art in public spaces, so in places that are accessible to everyone, such as pedestrian zones or places is now allowed by law. The Law on Copyright and Related Rights regulated in § 59, that there is a so-called panorama or streets of freedom, for the protected subject matter such as art objects or buildings that are visible from public roads from may be reproduced image. It may therefore be taking pictures and especially public.

In the case

Panorama of freedom you have to wonder, what criteria have led to this rather strange proposal. The suspicion is that it opens a mixture of desire, another source of revenue for compensation instances of every color and a lack of understanding (not to speak of distrust) may have been for photographers.

I fully support the elimination or limiting freedom of panorama meets every freelance photographers, the photo agencies and many publishers into Mark It creates only" work "for lawyers, but unfortunately fits in with the general trend and control everything everyone to want to monitor and is ultimately nothing more than censorship.
