News to me and I'm pretty sure not exactly true either, especially in this instance. In the US (at least) I am free to take a photograph from a public place of virtually anything (so long as I'm not peeping through your windows).
You're both right--but, of course, you're talking about different things. Alan is talking about copyright, Brian, and he is perfectly correct, even in the US. There are plenty of instances of companies that are very vigorous in enforcing their IP rights, going so far as to ban photography of certain areas or items. Brian, you're talking privacy, and those issues do differ substantially. Another poster noted that you can request video footage from surveillance cameras in the UK, and figured that it was basically the same thing as was going on with Microsoft, only Microsoft was more convenient. I think it is, which is why I will be very interested to see what happens when MS tries to film in Canada. We've been much more restrictive in terms of surveillance cameras. In BC, there is a certain area of Vancouver where the store owners have been trying to get the police to put in surveillance cameras, and the courts have said no way. (In another city, the store owners have been able to get the police to put up cameras. The courts have [twice, if I recall correctly] told the cops to take the cameras down, but so far they are still operating.) ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) rslade () vcn bc ca slade () victoria tc ca rslade () computercrime org The real problem is in the hearts and minds of men.
