To clarify, just because you can find an image on Google doesn't mean it's legal. This law is very loosly enforced but still is a law.

I feel like a cybercriminal now after Googling photos of The Eiffel Tower at night.

This is why people hate copyrights. They started out as a very useful measure for intangible assets but then people abused them and have made a complete mockery out of them.

"It's illegal to create a replica of the Eiffel tower at night"
obuma6459 (1 hour ago)
Long story short, the tower itself's copyright has expired, but the lights that turn on at night were only installed in 1985, so their copyright is still active

“Photos of the Eiffel Tower at night are illegal”
robertmoore6149 (7 hours ago)
It isn't taking a pic of the tower at night that's illegal. It's taking a pic of the lights working and using that pic for commercial use, without compensating the artist, that's illegal.

The way copyright is handled is absolutely ridiculous no matter the country. This is one of the more egregious examples.

Photographing the Eiffel Tower at night is not illegal at all. Any individual can take photos and share them on social networks.
