There is no freedom of panorama in UAE. 211.41.133.68 16:07, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]


When I purchased my very-expensive Burj Khalifa skydeck ticket, they told me that I was most welcome to take and post photos. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PLBechly (talk • contribs) 16:48, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@PLBechly: yes you are free to take images of this famous landmark. But you are not free in publishing your images of this copyrighted architecture under commercial CC licensing here. COM:OTRS permission from the author of this building, Architect Adrian Smith, is still required. Note that permission must come from him and not the management who only holds physical ownership which is irrelevant at this point. See also COM:CRT/United Arab Emirates#Freedom of panorama.

OK I see, but here is my question. As management has license for imaging, did they not create a sub-license for me through the sale of the ticket and verbal permissions? I am not trying to be difficult, but just trying to understand.PLBechly (talk) 01:55, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
