Je fais suivre cet email publié sur la liste de la Wikimedia Foundation et ayant trait à un procès (perdu) par Wikimedia Sverige sur la question de la liberté de panorama. Je n'en sais pas plus (que ce qu'ils disent).

Today we received some bad news in Sweden. The Swedish Patent and Market Court ruled against Wikimedia Sverige in a lawsuit filed byVisual Copyright Society in Sweden http://bus.se/en(BUS). The case concerns images of public art online, more specifically in the case of our websiteOffentligkonst.se http://offentligkonst.se/, a service created by Wikimedia Sverige using images from Wikimedia Commons.

The ruling means that Freedom of Panorama is eroded and the public space is diminished. It is a detrimental loss for our projects. Next we will talk to our lawyers and WMF legal team to see what our remaining legal options are. Our lawyers however believe that success is not very likely if we would decide to move forward.

Intensive efforts to advocate for our elected officials to change the outdated and problematic clauses in Swedish copyright law will be initiated during the year.

We have also started a crowdfunding campaign to cover some of the cost of the legal expenses and fines of about 750,000 SEK stated in the verdict (around 89,000 USD) and for future national and international lobbying efforts.

Simply add “BUS” in the comment, and all the money will be used for these costs.
