Re: [videoblogging] great post of police misbehavior

[andrew michael baron]

Fair use guidelines are used to determine what is okay and what is not. Its a gray area to some degree. 'Having been worried about this same question, esp here in NYC where it is almost impossible NOT to capture someone else, surprisingly, I have found that when "news gathering", or creating "parody" or pursuing other "fair use" agendas, you needn't worry about it, when in public.  It greatly depends on your intent and your use. I would assume Josh that someone could make the claim from looking through your videoblog that, as a whole, your videoblogging activity does not include fair use because your intent is the pursuit of personal celebrity.

What are our rights when it comes to filming? Who can we film in public places? why is it illegal to film certain things? etc... I know that there are perfectly valid reasons for not allowing certain things to be filmed, but i want to know the exact rights i have when it comes to someone telling me "you can't film here" On 11/19/05, jonny goldstein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Cops illegally frisk a Gabe, a vlogger and his friend in a public square in Amsterdam.
