Can someone please explain to me why the Church doesn't have a valid point here? Not about the violence and profanity and heathenism; you can't prosecute that. But you can prosecute people who use building interiors for public display without consent.

Simplest example: if I went in to this Cathedral and filmed a Movie I was making without asking the Church if it was okay, I could be arrested (upon the Church's discretion). That's illegal. So why would it be okay to go in, take a bunch of pictures without consent, then recreate that same interior using Computer Graphics for a video game?

I want to point out that my questions aren't rhetorical: I'm not a lawyer. If someone can explain to me why this should be okay, and how it distinguishes from my movie example, I'd love to hear.
