Let me rephrase: "Spain has laws forbidding the filming of performances without explicit permission of the copyright holder." My Spanish contacts have expressed that these rights are usually reserved and enforced. The laws are similar to those found in the US, but the US has a "fair-use" law, which allows snippets of works to be quoted or used for comments. The copyright laws of Spain apply not only to performers in a public venue, but also images recorded on security cameras.
A quick study of Spanish copyright laws (yeah, just google it) is fraught with drama, especially since Hollywood has been politically involved with the Spanish legislators. Generally speaking, copyright laws in Spain are more tightly enforced domestically; but still tend to be lax with copying and private distribution of imported works. That may have changed. You'll see a big stink about this if you cruise the Internet.
Suffice to say, RLC retains its copyrights, and they are working under international copyright laws, especially the DMCA.
As for Paris or London, Spain's cheaper, and it has loads of unemployed young people. RLC's money comes from richer nations, and the currency conversion is a better deal.

Personally, I haven't figured out why RLC doesn't consider Prague. You could lease an entire apartment complex for the price of one New York penthouse.
