Evidently, Marina Towers are a huge favorite for 'jumpers'. Quite common. <br />Neither here nor there, but next time you're at the base of the towers, stop into the wine place and order the 'Bleu Monde' cheese. It's amazing.JLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15865354946519925483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29541387.post-78151080942934120942010-11-11T19:24:33.090-06:002010-11-11T19:24:33.090-06:00Lovely architecture...

A few years ago, a confused condo board here mistakenly believed they owned trademarks to the name “Marina City” and images of the complex. Marina City Online hired one of the best intellectual property attorneys in Chicago, compared notes with other local landmarks, and proved convincingly that the claims were without merit.<br /><br />As far as we know, the condo board no longer asserts this claim.<br /><br />At best, the owner of the commercial property at Marina City – and not the condo board – might possibly own rights to the name “Marina City” but they do not challenge its use by others.<br /><br />Marina City is one of the most photographed structures in the world and we encourage people to capture its beauty.<br /> <br />We have more info here…<br /><br />http://www.marinacityonline.com/news/rulefive.htm<br /><br />Furthermore, I would challenge you to provide one example of filmmakers having to “edit out certain buildings from skyline shots due to copyright issues.” This is an absurd claim. If you photograph a building from a public space, you are free to do pretty much anything you want with it. It is irresponsible of you to regurgitate these ridiculous, baseless claims by people who are sadly misinformed.<br /><br />-Steven Dahlman, Editor, MarinaCityOnline.comSteven Dahlmanhttp://www.marinacityonline.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29541387.post-67625924255825913352010-11-11T16:59:40.936-06:002010-11-11T16:59:40.936-06:00Very nice photos and interesting frames.
