They have the right to ask, but don't have any legal recourse if you don't comply. Instructors often make money off of selling instructional videos, and don't want other videos to wipe out the market for those. If they get a lot of grief over one case like this, they may just not let people videotape them after classes at all in the future. The best solution would be to try to have a reasonable discussion with them, find out their motivations for taking the video down and see whether it would really work towards their ultimate goals. It's too bad that you aren't on FB, this would be a great question for Bug Brockway's Dance Question of the Day. > -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
