Apparently night photos of the Eiffel Tower are now copyrighted.

…the company charged with maintaining the tower, adorned it with a distinctive lighting display, copyrighted the design, and in one feel swoop, reclaimed the nighttime image and likeness of the most popular monument on earth. In short: they changed the actual likeness of the tower, and then copyrighted that.

Just another example of The Man keeping us down.
