Save the Freedom of Photography
Not to pass the proposed legislation to require photographers to obtain permission from the Copyright owners of buildings or public works of art when taking photographs, but to extent the rights to photograph that we in UK currently enjoy to those countries of the EU such as France.
Why is this important?
This proposal does not have the support of the British Institute of Architects and would ciminalize tourists and visitors taking photographs in public with a copyrighted building or work of art such as the Angel of The North in the background.
