Architectural Image Copyright - Europe
wow, just read this about architectural copyrights in France, Belgium and Italy. Unlike the US, images of built architectural works (even publicly visible) remain under the copyright of the architect. Anyone here ever do any buildings there - have you figured out a way to get any royalties off that? I can't imagine how you'd enforce that really, so it seems a moot point. And I don't at all agree with it as a matter of policy. But if anyone can figure out how to make money designing a landmark and selling rights to its image, call me up - I'm in!

Hmm I guess it was a naive question. Obviously just need to remember to make the gift shop big enough for everything you'll want to sell!

Do you think it is possible this people will pay any royalties for the inspiration of their product? If not, can they turn around and claim royalties for their product? Is the latter more deserving at this time? "What is a myth, today?"
