Summary

Description

La Boca

English: La Boca, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

עברית: לה בוקה היא שכונת עוני בבירה הארגנטינאית בואנוס איירס בקרבת הנמל לחופו של הנהר ריו דה לה פלטה. פירוש השם בספרדית הוא "הפה". זהו מוקד תיירותי המאופיין בבתים צבעוניים וברחובו הראשי - הקמיניטו ובמועדוני הטנגו שבו. בעבר הייתה השכונה שכונת מהגרים, בעיקר איטלקים, והבתים הדלים העשויים עץ ופח של הרחוב הראשי שופצו ונצבעו כדי לשנות את תדמיתה ושיוכה ובעיקר כדי למשוך תיירים. השכונה נצבעה (במקור) על ידי תושביה אשר עבדו בנמל והביאו אל השכונה את שאריות הצבע של האניות ועל כן הצבעים השונים. למרות השיפוץ אופיה של השכונה נשאר דל ועני, ועדיין קיימת בה סכנת שוד עקב הפשיעה הרבה.

Argentina has no "freedom of panorama" provision in its copyright law, neither are buildings mentioned among works to which copyright apply. At least some think there is de facto freedom of panorama in Argentina regarding buildings:

It is uncontroversially accepted that buildings can be reproduced by paintings or photographs, without this reproduction infringing copyright.

Se ha admitido pacificamente que los edificios puedan ser reproducidos mediante pinturas o fotografías, sin estimarse que esta reproducción lesione los derechos de autor. (Dr. Emery, Miguel Angel (profesor of Intellectual property law in Argentina), Propiedad Intelectual, Astrea Editors 4th. edition ISBN 9789505085231. p.40 op cit
