70 years is the limit to wait until an art become from the public domain. Not 80. And it's when the author die, or (if it's anonymous) when the art is published (the year of inauguration).
+ nobody can attack somebody in justice for a picture of a crowd (inviquing his image right), it's an exception. Unless he's clairly identifiable by close persons.
The picture is great but be careful, some companies are realy anoying with this kind of legal issues (like the SABAM for the audio).

Well the latest news then:
From the Atomium's website, the current copyright restrictions exempt private individuals under the following conditions.
There are some cases however where use of the image of the Atomium is not restricted by any rights. This is the case where photographs are taken by private individuals and shown on private websites for no commercial purpose (the current trend for photo albums), as long as these pictures are displayed at a low resolution to avoid abusive usage and downloads. However, the words "Β© www.atomium.be - SABAM 2010 - photographers name" must be included next to the image.
As long as noone tried to use it as a stock photo on some commercial cases and I dont anyone to photoshop it or download it too so only missing thing that I have to write Sabam under description :')

Did you know you aren't even allowed to photograpg the Atomium without the permission of Atomium vzw? The are holders of the picture rights, just thought I'd mention it

That's like saying you can't take street shots because of the passerbyβs who didn't give you permission, i.e., stupid. If the "Atomium vzw" decides to sue, I hope they also decide to perform a great many expletives on themselves. Just thought I'd mention it

True, you can use it as background image when you take a portrait but not as the main focus of a photograph. There are thousands of pictures of the Atomium on the net (not as good as this one obviously) so they would have their work with that. Laws are stupif id you can't enforce them, and this one is just stupid plain and simple.

I agree. I mean yes, if the thing had been built yesterday, I would understand if the creator didn't want people profiting from his design, but it was built over 50 years ago, and at some point things like this are just part of the world, especially when the architect is dead.

If he's been dead for 80 years, it becomes public domain unless otherwise arranged (in Belgium where the Atomium is anyway), but that's a bit long isn't it.
