Paris Opera House - Intellectual Property
Hi All,
Again, apologies in advance, as I am new to all of this. On a recent trip to Paris, I took some photos of the opera house in Paris. I noticed on Adobe Stock and other sites had accepted pictures of the inside of the Palais Garner without property releases and list them for sale. Here's one example from adobe:
https://stock.adobe.com/stock-photo/the-interior-of-grand-opera-in-paris/30257289?prev_url=detail
However, my submission of the same scene is rejected for 'Intellectual Property Refusal'

I get it that it's a ticketed location and that for some venues this would not be acceptable for a stock photo. I just don't understand if other photos of the interior are acceptable, why mine wouldn't also be acceptable.
Also, I can't imagine it is rejected because people are in it as none are discernible and i submitted a similar picture without people that also got rejected from a different angle.
Any thoughts?
