The insatiable greed everywhere is stifling creativity and opportunity

But not for intellectual right's holders. So, if you shoot a city-scape and
publish it, do you have to black out buildings or go to every
property-holding to ask permission to publish?

This might be problematic for commercial photographers and publication
without a release. However, they don’t address amateur, or tourist
photography.

There is a fear mongering statement by a German MEP who says the following;
“...the rule change could have a far wider impact, by affecting people
sharing images of iconic buildings on Facebook and those posted on
Wikipedia.�
This is unlikely to happen as the bulk of images on Wikipedia are not
commercial, but Creative Commons, or Public domain. As for Facebook, that is
the domain of the smartphonesnapshot who is invariably an amateur.

This is a very FUDDish article.
