Here's a new twist — in 2003 SNTE (Societé National du Tour Eiffel, if recollection serves) revamped the lights on the Eiffel Tower, changing the pattern of light, and then — copyrighted the pattern. So since that time, a night shot of the Eiffel Tower is a copyright violation. Say what?
I used to live on rue Chevert around the corner from the Eiffel Tower. It's astounding to me to think that shooting photos of my own former neighborhood is now illegal. C'est la guerre, mes garçons
