From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Atomium is a building whose image is copyrighted by its designer. Since a special permission is not mentioned, I believe that this image is not allowed.
- L'image de l'Atomium étant protégée depuis sa construction, il est obligatoire d'obtenir au préalable de toute reproduction et diffusion de cette image l'autorisation de l'asbl Atomium et de la SABAM, ainsi que de mentionner le "copyright asbl Atomium".

- In Belgium and in France, unfortunately, you cannot take a photo of certain buildings without violating the copyright of the architect. Stupid law, but it's the law. In the U.S., however, copyright does not extend to architects when their buildings are photographed. In the U.S., this image would be copyright its photographer, who has released the photo under the GFDL. In Belgium and in France, it would be a copyvio. Since Wikipedia's servers are in the U.S., U.S. law applies. I wouldn't put this image on the Commons or on the French Wikipedia, however. – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 14:07, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- The location of the servers has nothing to do with the jurisdiction. --131.234.243.104 09:13, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
