This was the case when a bonkers plan emerged to change European copyright law, requiring photographers to obtain permission from architects \u2013 and possibly pay them royalties \u2013 before publishing pictures of tourist attractions.<\/p>\n\n<p>Similar curbs on the use of commercial images of buildings in public spaces are already in force in some European countries but, thus far, not in the UK. Luckily, the plan to abolish Freedom of Panorama did not pass, thanks to a vigorous campaign led by organisations including AP and a petition that attracted more than 500,000 signatures. AP contacted every UK MEP and, in the end, an overwhelming majority of MEPs voted against the move.<\/p>\n<p>On a lighter but no less bizarre note, The Guardian\u2019s then-editor Alan Rusbridger was stopped over the use of a tripod on London\u2019s Hampstead Heath, under an 83-year-old by-law.
