- Abstract (Swedish)
- Till följd av högsta domstolens avgörande i Wikimedia-målet har farhågor uppkommit att avgörandet även kommer påverka privatpersoners publicerande av semesterbilder på sociala medier. Uppsatsen har därför undersökt panoramafriheten i svensk rätt och om den svenska lagstiftningen ger stöd för att på sociala medier publicera bilder av offentligt placerad konst och byggnader. Detta har gjorts i ljuset av avgörandet i Wikimedia-målet som i framställningen också analyseras.
Inom ramen för detta har först gjorts en genomgång av det upphovsrättsliga systemet i Sverige och dess anpassning till den digitala utvecklingen. De inskränkningar som finns i upphovsrättslagen undersöks för att se om de ger stöd för att publicera bilder av offentligt...

Detta har gjorts i ljuset av avgörandet i Wikimedia-målet som i framställningen också analyseras.
Inom ramen för detta har först gjorts en genomgång av det upphovsrättsliga systemet i Sverige och dess anpassning till den digitala utvecklingen. De inskränkningar som finns i upphovsrättslagen undersöks för att se om de ger stöd för att publicera bilder av offentligt placerad konst på sociala medier. Uppsatsen finner att undantaget i 24 § URL inte har följt med i den digitala utvecklingen och inte ger stöd för att på sociala medier publicera en bild av offentligt placerad konst och byggnader. Visst stöd för att i några undantagsfall kunna publicera bilder av konst som utgör en oväsentlig del av en bild finner framställningen istället i upphovsrättslagens 20 §.
Infosocdirektivet har gett EU:s medlemsländer en möjlighet att i nationell rätt införa ett undantag för panoramafrihet. Undantaget för panoramafrihet i Infosocdirektivet är frivilligt och medlemsländerna har valt att implementera det i nationell rätt på olika sätt. En europeisk utblick har därför gjorts i de tyska, franska och engelska rättssystemen för att undersöka vilka skillnader som har uppkommit i ländernas införande av ett undantag för panoramafrihet. Uppsatsen finner att skillnader uppkommit vad gäller vilka av upphovsmannens ensamrättigheter som inskränks, vilka verk som omfattas och i vilket syfte användningen får ske och att dessa skillnader behöver beaktas vid en harmonisering av lagstiftningen.

- Following the Swedish Supreme Court’s judgement in the Wikimedia-case fears have arisen that it will also affect individual’s rights to post and share holiday pictures on social media platforms. Therefore, the thesis has examined the Freedom of Panorama in Swedish legislation and if Sweden’s legislation allows for individuals to post pictures on Social Media depicting artwork permanently placed in public places and buildings. This has been done in the light of the Wikimedia-case which has also been subject for further examination.

Therefore, the thesis has examined the Freedom of Panorama in Swedish legislation and if Sweden’s legislation allows for individuals to post pictures on Social Media depicting artwork permanently placed in public places and buildings. This has been done in the light of the Wikimedia-case which has also been subject for further examination.
Within this framework, a review of the copyright system in Sweden has first been made and its adaptation to digital development been discussed. The restrictions contained in the Copyright Act have been examined to see if they provide support to legally upload pictures of public art permanently located in public places and buildings. The paper finds that the exception in section 24 of the Copyright Act has not been adapted to the digital development and therefore does not support publishing a picture of publicly placed art and buildings on social media. Certain support to in some cases allow the publishing of images of art that constitute an insignificant part of an image is instead found in section 20a of the Copyright Act.
The Infosoc Directive has given EU member states the opportunity to introduce an exemption for Freedom of Panorama under national law. The exemption for Freedom of Panorama in the Infosoc Directive is voluntary and the Member States have chosen to implement it in national law in different ways. A European perspective has therefore been made in the German, French and UK legal systems to examine the differences in how the Freedom of Panorama has been introduced. The paper finds that differences arise as to which of the sole proprietor’s exclusive rights are restricted, what works are covered and what commercial purpose the use may take and that these differences need to be taken into account in a harmonization of the legislation.
