Freedom of panorama, an exception to copyright law, is the legal right, in some countries, to publish pictures of artworks which are in public space. A controversy emerged at the time of the discussions towards the revision of the 2001 European Copyright Directive, opposing free knowledge communities as advocates of the public domain, and authors' collecting societies aiming at preserving their constituents' income. The article decrypts the legal framework and political implications of a topic which has been polarising copyright reform lobbyists, and analyses its development within the public debate since the XIXth century. Articulating legal analysis with text mining, this article aims at contributing to the policy debate.

公共艺术品和全景图争议的自由：以Wikimedia影响为例

全景自由是版权法的一个例外，在某些国家/地区是在公共场所发布艺术品图片的合法权利。在讨论修订2001年《欧洲版权指令》的时候出现了一个争论，反对自由知识社区作为公共领域的拥护者，以及旨在维护其选民收入的作者收集协会。本文解密了一个一直困扰着版权改革游说者的话题的法律框架和政治含义，并分析了自十九世纪以来在公众辩论中的话题发展。本文将文本分析与法律分析结合起来，旨在为政策辩论做出贡献。
