body: I've seen reports that the [USPS](https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/07/post-office-owes-3-5m-for-using-wrong-statue-of-liberty-on-a-stamp/) had to pay $3.5 million for using a picture of "Robert Davidson's Las Vegas replica" instead of the original.
  
  
  But it seems that the US has "[freedom of panorama](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_panorama#United_States)", which means that one can take pictures of buildings still in copyright.
  
  
  So what copyright issues did the USPS violate?
