An even stronger argument is the educational value of such content.
Are we to rename historical figures or monuments at the cost of not being able to pay their fees?

A kid then visits Paris, and only knows to call it 'The Big Antenna'.

Funny enough, actually the Tour Eiffel image (not the name) is copyrighted, but only when lit at night... No copyright for unlit daily pictures ... The fee is intended to contribute to the huge costs of lighting that Big Antenna, not to make easy money on something tha has been largely paid off long time ago, as in the case of a warplane ...
