Have you ever heard of the city Tianducheng which contains a copy of the Eiffel tower? Not that European copyright law would stop them...



Wow, I have no words because I've just eaten them.

I wonder if there's anything that would stop a European country from copying the Eiffel tower?


Wikipedia has a long list of replicas (though I wouldn't classify some of them as one):

The Eiffel tower isn't copyrighted anymore so there is nothing that would stop anybody.
