Sounds like a “newsworthy” event to me.  Whether or not you show faces would depend on where you show the video.  Is it going to shown privately for friends or a public exhibition?  If the former, I wouldn’t worry about it.  If the later, be on the safe side and do the “witness protection” thing.

Subject: [videoblogging] Legal Question, I think..........

 

I had a question that I was hoping ya'll could help me with.

I just got back from the Motor City Con (it is a comic, toy, TV,
Movie, convention) and while I was there I witnessed a raid by the
MPAA on some dealers who were selling bootleg video's and video's
that are not yet availible (like some TV shows, or shows from
overseas that have not yet been released here), I got some of this on
camera.  However, one of the MPAA "guys" saw me and said he did not
want to be on camera.  He basicly, tried to intimate me.  Anyway,
what is my legal standing?  It was, to my knowledge a public place,
and I was "documenting" the MPAA and the local police shut down these
vendors.  Can I show the footage even though the MPAA guy asked not
to be on camera.  If I blur him out am I fine? 

Like I said I was just hoping someone here may know something. 
Someone said you have to have a release, but I don't nessacary think
that is true because of all those "hidden" camera things on the
news.....anyway any help would be apprciated.
