Re: OT: Why It's Illegal to Take Photos of the Eiffel Tower at Night

Whether you said it in jest or not, the attitude behind the words is very
common among your people when they travel.
Now you are saying ignorance of the law is an acceptable reason to break
the law and that because you follow the rules sometimes its all good to
break them at other times.
I think that as an officer of the court you know better than that.

Way things are going around here I don't think it's going to be a 
problem. Copyright will have expired before I can afford a trip to Paris.
