Save the Freedom of Photography! #saveFoP

*UPDATE* Good News! It looks like the European Parliament voted down this proposal and Freedom Of Panorama will continue (for now) Click The link HERE for more info.
Important message, you guys - please take the time to read, thanks! Tomorrow (July 9, 2015) street photography could be illegal in ALL of Europe
The Freedom of taking photos in public places is in danger. Until now, in most European countries, you were able to shoot/publish photographs taken in public – This is called Freedom of Panorama. While on vacation, you could share images with your friends on social media but this may unfortunately change.
The new law would make it illegal to also take selfies in European cities EVEN just for personal use without having to share it anywhere. It would also be illegal to draw and film/record big movies without prior consent from the owner of the statues/buildings.
The timing of this couldn’t have fallen at a more pivotal time. As most of you know, I’ll be in Germany from the 21st to the 1st to shoot a project raising awareness of how strict the law of public privacy is in place over there and coincidentally this restriction could now very well be an issue in other countries as well.
Please stand up and save the freedom of photography. The link in my bio will take you to my blog which will link to the petition and more details of my upcoming project. Feel free to tag your friends, repost, and spread the word - thanks everyone! #.SaveFOP

Angriff auf unsere Panoramafreiheit!
Am 9. Juli 2015 könnte das Europäische Parlament die Fotografie zerstören.
Die Freiheit des Fotografierens in und an öffentlichen Plätzen steht auf dem Spiel. Bisher war es in den meisten europäischen Ländern erlaubt, Fotos im öffentlichen Raum zu schießen und anschließend zu veröffentlichen - das nennt man Panoramafreiheit. Wenn man im Urlaub war, konnte man ein Bild vom London Eye machen und mit seinen Freunden auf Facebook teilen. Und wenn dich jemand dafür bezahlen wollte, dieses Bild zu verwenden, dann war das auch in Ordnung. Beides soll sich nun ändern und das könnte die Fotografie, so wie wir sie kennen, zerstören.

Das würde das Ende der freien Fotografie bedeuten!
Wenn ihr damit auch nicht einverstanden seid, bitte ich euch, folgende Online-Petition auf change.org zu unterstützen!
