Freedom of panorama means that you can take and distribute photographs of copyrighted 3D works (e.g. sculptures and buildings) which are permanently located in a public place without the permission of the rightholders.
In two cases, you still have to ask the rightholders for permission in advance:
- If you want to use the photographs for commercial or advertising purposes.
- If you make a drawing, painting or other graphic adaptation of the original work (because there is no reproduction or communication to the public in that case).
