So, am I wrong to think that anyone who's out photographing anything should be well aware of laws or restrictions on the things that they happen to be photographing? Such as.. the Eiffel Tower, for instance. Apparently, people aren't aware that it's against French Law to photograph the Eiffel Tower at night while it's lit. There's a restriction against it and you can get into a lot of trouble.

My point, though, is that every photographer or sight-seeing individual should be well aware of any rules, regulations, and laws regarding the photographing of statues, monuments or any other such buildings, people, plants or animals(even other works of art in a gallery) ESPECIALLY if it's in your own country and ESPECIALLY if it's regarding a national monument. and if you don't know, do some research. It's better to be safe than sorry.

That's my view on photography as far as regulations go.

Whether or not you think it's fair, the law is the law. If you want it to change, do something about it.

peace.
