I wonder why we should consider the French law regarding American 
buildings. The American law allows freedom of panorama for buildings, so 
that should be enough for us.

What bother me most is the de facto tolerance for pictures of fairly 
recent French buildings, for which the French law has no similar 
exception. See for instance pictures of buidings by Jean Nouvel 
(Institut du Monde arabe and so on). It's true we also have loads of 
pictures of copyrighted outdoor artworks taken in countries where 
freedom of panorama does not apply.
