Why Is 1 World Trade Center Missing from Spider-Man?
It seems absurd to me that buildings and things you can photograph in public are copyrightable/trademarkable.You can't remove a building from your daily experience. Buildings have permanence. They seem cultural at a more fundamental level than movies or music.How is this going to work with all the photogrammetry developments for games? I guess we're forbidden from the wholesale reuse of anything in public eye?Has this been tested in court?At some point the tech will mature to a point where it's more work to remove things than to scan them and leave then as is. Can we argue that these laws are an unjust burden?
