| text = This image is a two-dimensional representation of a '''building or architectural work''' in a country in which the copyright law deems that such an image is a derivative work of art, and that who holds copyright of the original has exclusive rights over such derivative works. This is in contrast to the legal situation regarding [[Copyright in architecture in the United States]] (where Wikipedia's servers are located) where [http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#120 USC 17 § 120] states:

{{quote|(a) Pictorial Representations Permitted. — The copyright in an architectural work that has been constructed does not include the right to prevent the making, distributing, or public display of pictures, paintings, photographs, or other pictorial representations of the work, if the building in which the work is embodied is located in or ordinarily visible from a public place.}}

Although this image can be freely copied in the United States, and countries with similar laws (generally referred to as [[Freedom of panorama]]), it can not be freely copied in the country in which it was made and is therefore not classified as [[free content]] under the [http://freedomdefined.org/Definition definition] used by the Wikimedia Foundation. In this case Wikipedia policy requires a [[fair use]] rationale for each use in exactly the same way as for an image which ''is'' copyright in the United States. See [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]] for more information.<br />
