They actually tried to sue anyone who published photographs of the Atomium, either on their personal blog or on album accounts. Probably through some kind of automated crawler script which was programmed to send angry letters to anyone who posted a similar looking photograph. Needless to say, most of it is pure FUD, but unfortunately, civilians don't have the legal means to defend themselves against the enormous amounts of leverage big copyright holders can throw at it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
