Sorry if I find it funny for being accused of only self interest. When the group of you seem first and foremost concerned with your rights as photographer's without consideration for the individual.
There are so many laws that protect businesses and so few that protect the individual consumer. And the first thing most people did in this thread was declare their rights as photographers. With a small disclaimer of token sympathy toward the individual's plight.
These are their memories. Those things to share with their family, friends and loved ones. Most of what you guys bring up to me is insane selfishness. I mean, really, could one of you tell me how we are supposed to get in touch with the photographer that took my great-grandparents wedding photo back around 1920? Yes, we enlarged and had it touched up and printed for their funeral. Of course, that will be illegal soon. Who's stealing from who.

Like there is a single person in this thread who has obeyed every law. I am quite sure most have at least exceeding the speed limit on occasion. J-walked. Smuggled snacks into a movie theatre. And many more.
I just found it disgusting for the first response of so many being a declaration of THEIR rights. (Of course, I'm self serving because I think this was reprehensible and wrong.)
*shakes head*

Rosa Parks disobeyed the law.

Gandhi and his followers disobeyed the law.
The perpetrators of the Boston Tea Party and the Declaration of Independence disobeyed the law ...
The concept is well covered in Henry David Thoreau's On the Duty of Civil Disobedience (1849) |

| i think this thread is done. Any discussion about ethics, philosophy and personal morals needs to be pursued in a new thread all its own. |
