Summary[edit]

Description
English: Hitting a tourist trap. Having visited Madame Tussaud's locations in London, Amsterdam, and New York, I wanted to add Hong Kong to the tally, especially given the Hong Kong location's special focus on Asian celebrities.

But for now, I am starting with Hollywood stars. And here are a couple I cannot stand - Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. As a lifelong member of Team Aniston, I feel obligated to smack Jolie's likeness in particular.

Here in Asia, Angelina Jolie is usually seen as a sex object for the men to drool over, while Jennifer Aniston is seen much more as a fashionista for the women to admire and emulate.

Hong Kong

According to Sect 71 of the Copyright Ordinance of Hong Kong, it is not a copyright infringement to make graphic representations, take photographs, or broadcast the images of buildings, sculptures, models for buildings and works of artistic craftsmanship, if the object is permanently situated in a public place or in premises open to the public. Because Hong Kong was a territory of the United Kingdom until 1997, Hong Kong law is modelled on UK law, and in the absence of any specific case law to the contrary it is reasonable to assume that the rules will be similar.

Similar to the UK law, 'works of artistic craftsmanship' is defined separately from 'graphic work'. The latter includes any painting, drawing, diagram, map, chart or plan, and any engraving, etching, lithograph, woodcut or similar work. Therefore freedom given in Sect 71 does not apply to posters or maps in public places.
