Notes
  1. a b c d Limited to locais/lugares públicos (public locations)
  2. a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v "Works of artistic craftsmanship" are OK, "graphic works" are not – see United Kingdom section for commentary.
  3. Except for works, which themselves are components of the structure, including windows in churches and such.
  4. Limited to verejná prostranství (public spaces), the listed examples do not include interiors but they are not excluded explicitly.
  5. Applies only to fine arts, architecture, and applied arts. Does not apply to photographs and maps.
  6. The Mexican law doesn't have a position on this use.
  7. Due to the Mexican law not mentioning what public means, it's supposed that it's also possible.
  8. a b Dutch freedom of panorama doesn't extend to public photographs, maps, applied art, industrial design, and models.
  9. According to existing jurisprudence and legal literature on Dutch FOP, interiors of transportation facilities like railway stations, airports, and covered parking lots are covered by the exception, as well as shopping mall indoors (but not shops within the shopping malls). The exception does not apply to the interiors of schools, operas, entrance halls of businesses, museums, hotels, cafés, and shops.
  10. The new Copyright Act, 2022 of Nigeria, effective 17 March 2023, restricted freedom of panorama to audio-visual and broadcasting media only. Only affects uploads starting on that date. Uploaded photos prior to that date are still under the effect of the old, superseded law and can still be hosted.
  11. The Peruvian law indicates for "work of art" and may include text that does not pass the threshold of a literary work. However, the right of quotation of texts exposed to the public applies.
  12. In architectural works of public areas is permitted regardless of whether they are in external or internal locations with exceptions. In other works are limited in "public places".
  13. Museum indoors only.
  14. a b 2022 revision of Vietnamese copyright law restricted freedom of panorama to non-commercial use, effective 1 January 2023. Only affects uploads from 2023 onwards. Pre-2023 uploads are still under the effect of the old, superseded law and can still be hosted.
