I remember ActionQuake 2 (AQ2) had to change logos like Coca Cola. I forgot what they changed it to. That's in no way related. What you're talking about is the same reason why almost every company in the entertainment industry is a fake/parody company. It costs money to use trademarked images and names.
You can't hold a trademark on a public place. |

I prefer satire over the real thing anyway, if I were to make a map parody of Burger King I would call it Horse King with posters claiming burgers made with 100% Horse Beef. I remember ActionQuake 2 (AQ2) had to change logos like Coca Cola. I forgot what they changed it to. |

They can't be. Not 100% on Canada, but in Europe or the US there's no way they can sue you for depicting a public place in any way, shape or form.
Creston Anyone can sue for anything. Its can they win thats the question. Plus, that statement isn't quite correct in a few ways.
For instance, if they make an artistic interpretation of a public place and sell it, and then someone else comes and copies that interpretation and tries to pass it off as their own and sell it, then that could be violating.
Also, if there's art or sculptures in those public places, getting permission for that may be required.
It also depends if stuff is permanent or temporary.
For instance, here's a case in europe (which you seem to be claiming is 100% allowed) in which Germany's Reichstag building was temporarily changed and the change was allowed to be copyrighted. So anyone trying to sell pictures of it in that form has to get permission from that one person.
Pretty sure that's a public place, and is depiction of a particular way, shape and form.

We don't live in fear either, well maybe the liberals do since everything tends to offend them in one way or another.
This is almost as ridiculous as the City of Montreal doing a criminal investigation over a Zdneno Chara check during the NHL playoffs a couple years ago trying to prosecute a player because one of their guys got hurt. |

| As Techdirt correctly puts it, we are living in the "ownership" society, where corporations and idiots will do everything they can to abuse the copyright, trademark and patent systems to benefit them. It doesn't help that those 3 systems are all broken as hell. |

| BTW, this is not a unique canadian craziness, a lot of places and buildings in the US, someone claims to own the copyright/trademark on. There was a change in law about 20 years ago that has given rise to a lot of claims and lawsuits similar to this situation. |

| This reminds me of my first quake map being based around my school. I wonder how copyright works with buildings vs recreations online/in games. I'd think any open space falls under free use. |

It's a public space paid for by the Canadian taxpayers so unless they intend on having a referendum they haven't got a leg to stand on. But seriously, is this how a handful of assholes justifies their salary? Cereal?
