To clarify, just because you can find an image on Google doesn't mean it's legal. This law is very loosly enforced but still is a law.

Half as Interesting That's not necessarily the reason. In copyright there are two kinds of rights when it comes to a creation: commercial and moral (names in English may vary, since it's not my first language). The commercial right is the one you use to earn money out of your creation (you can allow people to use it with your permission) and the moral, is to give you credit (you can't give it to someone else). Therefore I think the people who has the commercial right of the design gave the photographer permission to take the picture of the tower at night.

@@ace74909 I don’t think they meant it this way. If it’s a public building we should be able to take pictures of it day or night and even if the lights were installed recently those laws should apply since it’s on a public building. Building the same architecture should be where the copyright starts and ends.
The law, as a universal rule, does not follow reason.
Reason makes the law, then the law is immediately twisted and abused to the exact letter.

It's not "illegal". It's legal to take pictures or videos. But it's ILLEGAL to sell them to a third party. GET IT?
"It's illegal to create a replica of the Eiffel tower at night"
Have you ever watched Ratatouille? You know, that scene where Remi goes up?
Maybe Pixar got the necessary authorization from the Eiffel Tower lights creators.
It wasn't real it was animated so I'm sure it had something to do with that
It's the lights that are copyrighted, not the structure itself. As long as they can't verifiably prove those are the same lights, that's all clear.
@@jacobsmith4428 I dunno, sounds unrealistic saying:"not the same lights" cause they clearly specify that's Paris, what else could that be? On the other hand, I find extremely illegal what they did(IF they didn't pay to make the scene), cause they used Eiffel tower image to specificaly COMERCIAL USES, wich is explained in the video that THAT is, indeed, against copyright
It's quite prominently featured in Disney's Soarin' ride, as well (at least in Shanghai and Orlando, not sure about the other parks.) Disney presumably got a license for it.

Long story short, the tower itself's copyright has expired, but the lights that turn on at night were only installed in 1985, so their copyright is still active
Thank you for saving me some time
Thanks for the direct explanation. I don't have to waste my time watching.
If three and a half minutes is a "long story" you must have a rough time making it through the day.
@@Wintersmith12 lad I watched the video
Also, night isn't the restriction, it's whether the lights are on. Sell as many photos as you want of it at night during a power failure.
It isn't taking a pic of the tower at night that's illegal. It's taking a pic of the lights working and using that pic for commercial use, without compensating the artist, that's illegal.
Photographing the Eiffel Tower at night is not illegal at all. Any individual can take photos and share them on social networks.
But the situation is different for professionals. The Eiffel Tower’s lighting and sparkling lights are protected by copyright, so professional use of images of the Eiffel Tower at night require prior authorization and may be subject to a fee. Professionals should therefore contact the Eiffel Tower's management company to learn about conditions for using the images depending on the case. - From the official website of eiffel tower.

This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Well, close.
When someone contracts to have a building built, or lights added, they should have a clause in the contract that it can't be copyrighted. A copyright on a building, bite me.
The way copyright is handled is absolutely ridiculous no matter the country. This is one of the more egregious examples.

It's absurd to copyright buildings. Not because they are not artistic works, but because it's impossible to stop people making picutres of them and uploading them, especially in the era when everyone is carrying a camera in their pocket.
basically the government want you to be their slaves,the whole modern copyright needs to be changed for the digital age but you people for some reason don't mind it.
It’s not about taking photos, it’s about if you make money off it. If you took professional photos of the Eiffel Tower to sell them, that’s when it’s an issue. I have photos of the Eiffel Tower at night. As mentioned in the video, it’s okay if it’s for PERSONAL use. So if you’re taking photos because you’re travelling, that’s totally fine!
.
It's absolutely idiotic. Something placed in the public space that is impossible to NOT look at it should not be copyrightable.
For commercial purpose. You can take the pictures, you can show them, you just can't sell them or generate revenue from them.
I'm french and never heard of this. Eiffel tower is filmed and photographed every day and every night by thousands of ppl/tourists. Plus with all the crime, the terrorism, and considering how full prisons are and how busy cops are.... there are approximately 0.00000001 chance to get in trouble for that. Only thing you risk doing that at night is being attacked by thugs for your camera.
Alltimeboxing enfin quelqu'un avec un cerveau ptn mercii 😂😂

Alltimeboxing you didn’t know lol? But yeah your right the chance is low that you’ll get in trouble for that but most people who take pics are mostly for private use. I’m sure it would be different if a Huge company took a photo without a license

Eiffel tower: wanna bet?
So actually, with these landmarks, it isn't that the pictures themselves are illegal to take. Technically they only become illegal if you're gaining financially from sharing them. So, for instance, tourists can legally take all kinds of pictures of them as long as they know this, but a tour company technically can advertise the trip to those landmark with photos of them. Maybe the best solution for the tour companies is an artist sketch of them. I can't immagine that the ability to sketch Paris building would be illegal, since there's a long art history of doing it. Although the possibility for that extrapolation of these laws is frankly hilarious.

So every time a copyright runs out, a new artist can go and draw a single new line on a painting and that will extend the copyright in their name until 70 years after their death.
I think it is incredibly silly because the lights do exactly follow the lines of the tower. It needed no creativity and just a bunch of electricians who aren't afraid of heights
Technicallly yes
@@patrikjansen7831 Does that mean the copyright is extended because a light requires replacement as it may no longer functions? 🤔
I know...sounds absurd, but I wouldn't put anything past the French government.
This is exactly why Disney keep pumping out remakes of their classic movies, gotta keep the paperwork up to date
@LOLWHATBRO and to add on to that most if not all of their old classics are based on public domain stories anyway. The only think slightly original from Disney was Mickey mouse. They want to extend copyright so nobody can "steal" their work yet that's hownthey made their money in the first place.
Watched this video after watching a very recent one... I had to watch the newer one at 75% speed just to understand. Its crazy how this is common among several RUclipsrs I follow.
Comparable with a song, that is free as long nobody sings "Happy Birthday"
Hey, I love what you do and have watched all your videos.
However as a french lawyer, I have to tell it is incorrect.
You mentioned that the French copyright law has never been enforced with regard to the Eiffel tower. There is a reason for that.
Basically what you explained is correct. French law prohibits commercial use of a copyrighted work without the author's authorisation. Therefore it is illegal to sell pictures of copyrighted material but there is a massive querk.
Indeed the French cour de cassation (France hightest court) made it pretty clear that there are some exceptions.
First, this law only applies when the copyrighted work is on the foreground. Thus, the photo of an aerial view of Paris is always perfectly fine since non of the work included are the center of the photo. You could open a shop selling photos of an aerial view of Paris and you'd be fine.
The second exception, and the most relevant here is that in order for the law to apply, the copyrighted material has to be the topic of the support it is included in. Therefore a video including a picture of the pyramid of the louvre is fine when if are making a point about copyright law in France because the topic of the video is copyright law and the pyramid is just an illustration.
However if your job is to sell photos of the Eiffel tower at night or any other copyrighted work without making any other point than "here is a photo of the monument" you will need the author's authorisation. That's why Shutterstock can't have a photo of the Eiffel tower at night.
In fact case law on this topic is almost exclusively about postal cards. One easy test you can use to identify whether or not it is legal to show a monument is to imagine that you have photoshopped it out of your work. Then try to see whether or not your work has lost the essential of its value.
In the case of a postal card featuring the Eiffel Tower at night, once you've taken away the monument, the card become worthless. Thus it is illegal. Same goes for stock photos, without the tower, it's just an empty night sky.
However, this video is essentially the same with or without the Eiffel tower. It's still a video about copyright law in France. Therefore it is legal.
You're not the only one to have made this mistake and last time I checked it was still on Wikipedia.
In fact this is quite a fascinating story. I have ( or think I still have ) proofs that the Wikipedia article on this topic was used to write articles on other sites that were later added as sources to original Wikipedia article. This is a mechanism that has been studied or at least I have heard of that. I think you should make a video about it.
Merci!
Great, insightful comment. To the top!
merci!
But then you can claim that the Eiffel Tower appears in the title of the video and thus it is the focus of this video and therefore illegal to show it.
danytnt you can claim it, but it won't work since the video is clearly about copyright law.
60 years are up: yay now I can take photos of the Eiffel Tower at night! (light breaks and has to be fixed) Oh well now we have to wait another 60 years
Teemo best comment out here!
Unless they completely redesign it, the copyright wouldn't reset.
Copyright doesn't reset just because someone touched up a painting.
What do you mean we can take pictures of it at night? If you watched the video COMPLETELY, we still have 55 years left till the Copyright claim ceases
70 years* =)
LMAO
I think an argument could be made that just because you’ve put lights on the Eiffel Tower doesn’t mean it has new or renewed copyright. You could argue any change to a building as small as lighting still makes it the original building. This shouldn’t be copyrighted.
I like how when i googled eiffel tower literally the 4th photo was at night

_"...you ARE allowed to take images and videos of copyrighted buildings for personal use..."_
So, photos of the Eiffel Tower at night are NOT illegal per se, it all depends on the use of the photos. Therefore a tourist taking a video or photo of the tower at night (or any of the other buildings featured in this video) are perfectly _legal_ as long as you use them only as "mementos" or any other non-commercial use.

Copyright laws are sometimes some of the dumbest things in the world, a building IS public domain, copyrighting it should be limited to replicating the building by constructing an identical design, not to use its picture or video, that's insane, just like how insane it is to limit using music in a movie to copyright, a musical copyright should only apply to replicating it within the same medium, once it's become a cultural piece it's public domain and no one should have the right to stop people being influenced by it.
This sounds good, but isn't really true. Imagine you made a piece of music and someone used it in an insulting way in their movie without paying you for your work. Copyright protect for music is about 2 things: the melody and the sound recording. You can't use some else's sound recording in your work, unless its a derivative work (which legally is essentially a new work).
Imagine you create a symbol of peace, balance and harmony, then some crazy dictator decides to use it for his party without asking your permission, he commits one of the big mass murder in history, he brings the whole world into a global conflict to which he loses, and in the end the symbol you created becomes the emblem of evil and people forget its original purpose, and while there are still samples of the original symbol unrelated to said ductator, people can't dissociate them from him.
Why can't we charge the owners or creators of these buildings a fee if we don't like their buildings? They're cramming my Right to Panorama with unwanted results.
@@HypercatZ and how does a copyright law stop that from happening?
Copyright law is flawed, but not insane because it doesn't limit you until you try to make money off of the copyrighted work. That's the whole point of copyright: making sure the creator has the opportunity to profit from their own work. It's not about stopping the public from enjoying that work.
Limiting copyright to only the medium of the work doesn't make sense either... Imagine if you wrote an amazing piece of music but nobody really gave it any recognition. Then, without your consent, it was used as the main theme in a multi million dollar Hollywood blockbuster and contributed to its huge success. Don't you think you should have a say in your piece's use? And shouldn't you see some return from its use?

Taking a photo is *not* illegal. Using it commercially is.

Half as Interesting: “So it’s illegal to take pictures of the Eiffel Tower at night.”
Google: *I’m going to ruin this mans whole career*
Simple solution to getting nice night shots of the Eiffel Tower: replace the real one with CGI (should be easy to find a 3D model), add your own lights, and you can create as many night shots of it with lights as you like, and if anyone shouts copyright infringement, you could point out that you own the copyright to the lights since you placed them there yourself.

Because God is dead and we killed him.
Oooohhh!
Becuz ali a
BC the person who invented it is dead.
murdered by angry nighttime youtube browsers
I'm copyrighting the sun
georgyorgy2 sorry I beat you. My agent handled that in 1981.
georgyorgy2 Are you the architect of the sun?
ManiacNine6 then retards will get sued
georgyorgy2 cough cough, solar eclipse...
Cough cough i copyrighted the mün and the sky
Machinen Kanone Srry but I beat YOU to it. I copyrighted the sun and all other celestial bodies about 13 billion years ago.
...But the light projectors are still there during the day though, they're just not turned on?
If a photo was taken of the tower during the day, with a high-resolution camera (or zoomed in) that clearly captured one of the light projectors, why wouldn't that be illegal?
And if the answer, for some some reason, is a no - What would happed if you just happened to take a photo at night while one on the lights was broken? Is each light copyrighted on its own, or is it the entire light rig as a whole that is copyrighted, thereby making the photo legal since the light fixture as a whole isn't working the same way as it was when if was first installed and copyrighted?
This is getting silly, but so is the law, so I don't care. Sue me.
From what I read, regular people can take photos and share them on social network, it's professionals that can't do it without permissions.
What they mean by that is that u can’t use it for commercial use. Such as sell the photos, use it in an ad, have it in a video.
* Goes to france to film the effifel tower at night *
"I only date bad boys"
Well I travel to France to make a picture of the eifel tower at night
"Master"? More like, idk. I don't even know anymore anyway, bye. Have a nice day.
FBI OPEN UP
I went there at night and took a selfie. I didn’t take a picture of it. I took a picture of myself. (Jk I will never go to France)
Meme Master I just went to France and did that exact
My current wallpaper is Eiffel Tower at night,THUG LIFE. B|
Javed Ali lol
Javed Ali using it commercially? No? Thug life popatate! 😂
FBI: stay right where you are
+Jappie1112 XD
the police are on their way
But if I'm not in France, and publish pictures in, say, Britain, and not France, how is this breaking copyright? British copyright laws apply in Britain.
“Squarespace, you’ve probably heard their pitch before…“ Perhaps the understatement of the century!
I hate it, when you are not allowed to do something, because of something ridiculous
Cyber One i don't think it's ridiculous.
True but it's the Law even if it's Unfair
It involves tourism (💰) and novelty. It's not ridiculous.
100 percent agree. It should follow the same laws as photographing/videoing people which is that if it’s in a public place where there is no expectation of privacy then you should be allowed to do it. The Eiffel Tower is a massive building that you can see across Paris, there’s no expectation of privacy and therefore should be allowed to be photographed no matter what. Such a stupid law
Law is the law we can’t change it
