Here you can find first-hand information on the subject from Ms Reda, the rapporteur for copyright reform in the European Parliament. On the freedom of panorama in particular : https://juliareda.eu/2015/06/panoramafreiheit-in-gefahr/ The site contains further information on copyright reform, should anyone be interested.

(I’ve just updated this) For now, the freedom to take panoramic photos remains as it is. However, this isn’t actually a law yet – it was merely a resolution passed by the Parliament! It’s now back to the European Commission to draft a law.

The ‘clear-out crew’ hadn’t anticipated the last-minute backlash over the items that nobody at home needs or wants. Their plan to quietly slip them through during the summer lull didn’t work.

Hello, It seems that over 500,000 angry signatures have given the boot-lickers a real scare: ? https://www.change.org/p/europäisches-parlament-retten-sie-die-panoramafreiheit/u/11358375?tk=uorqvIsKvLwAhh_8adVlozqzs_FfO__DvqfbxhV9VG4&utm_source=petition_update&utm_medium=email ? Regards, Wolfgang
