•  Support - But might need a crop, the tower itself seems too small. Husky 21:17, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

•  Neutral if I remember correctly the light-design of the Eiffel tower is protected by french copyright law and thus every picture of the tower at night being used for commercial purpose needs permission (and they charge you money for that). So this picture might have to be removed from commons. Also see Commons:Deletion_requests/Archives04#Image:Tour_Eiffel_nuit_Concorde.jpg Very nice picture though :) -- Gorgo 21:44, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

•  Oppose - ditto to Petrus. Don't see how they can enforce on the points Gorgo makes, if true it is an absurd law and I can't see a court upholding it - MPF 16:14, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
•  Strong support - excellent image. —Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 08:02, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
•  Oppose I agree it's an absurd law, but it has been discussed in the Village Pump and it does seem to exist. So my advice would be to delete this picture. If this is law, a court will have to uphold it. A judge is not allowed to set laws aside merely because he thinks they are ridiculous... But otherwise, I would support this picture.

I am french and I think this law only applies to the pictures where the eiffel tower is alone : here, there is Seine river, the bridge and some other buildings. --Fabien1309 20:07, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
