<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Samito,<br>
<br>
It's really great that you want to cover the FoP debate. I have
put the latest version of the press release on the meta site,
where it is freely accessible:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/EU_policy/media/PR_FoP_common_sense">https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/EU_policy/media/PR_FoP_common_sense</a><br>
<br>
There have been real legal consequences as the result of photos of
buildings taken in public places. None of the cases, as far as I
know, have dealt with regular tourists uploading photos on
social-media sites. However, if you offer the photos to the public
in a systematic manner or commercially, legal action from the
building's copyright holder is more likely.<br>
<br>
I would not view this as a part of the larger discussion on the
proper balance of power between the EU and the member countries.
That issue would fall quite far outside the scope of the
Wikimedian effort in Brussels.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Karl<br>

<p dir="ltr">Hi, all, esp. to Stevie and Karl.<br>
My name is Samito Jalbuena, a member of media in the Far East. I
would like to assess the FOP issue (and what Europe may hope to
desire) in my coverage. I shall do so from an Asian POV, an
outsider or a stranger. However, my opinion will only relate
back to the agenda. Control should be realized sooner if Europe
becomes a state by normalizing one law, thus FOP can be
normatized across the board, along with other issues. (The
nation-state is outdated, or am I wrong? Is the explosion of an
infinity of laws that have no hope to be enforced only another
statement that this is lawlessness?) As for the text or
template, I will be most honored if I may be given permission to
read it. Thank you, Stevie and Karl.</p>
<p dir="ltr">And by the way, my coverage shall be in the subtext
of an art review. I have yet to ask your opinion on what kind of
art should be illegal in all of Europe. If a vacation picture
with certain monuments is a crime according to a few outdated
nation-states, I need your inputs on a work of art that will get
the artist crucified on a much wider scale. (He can rise again
on the third day because of the power of collectors, or we can
use electricity.) In other words, if thousands of Asians took
pictures of the new LV art center in Paris while knowing it was
a crime is negligible because law is empty and unenforced, then
I have to ask what kind of picture will actually ignite forces
to action.</p>
<p dir="ltr">One artist has recently made a portrait of yours
truly but I have told him to wait for these important edits.
Hope we can collaborate.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Sincerely yours,<br>
Samito Jalbuena</p>

Hi Karl,<br>
<br>
Thanks for all of your work on this, I'm pleased I was able to
help. It<br>
will be really interesting to see if this angle gets picked up
in the<br>
press.<br>
<br>
If the story gets coverage anywhere it would be great to see
any links.<br>
<br>
Thanks and regards,<br>
<br>
Stevie<br>
