If someone asks you not to record them at their own event , and you do, you're an asshole.

A wedding is one of the most fundamentally public events that have ever existed. The purpose is so that as many people as possible should know that these people are taken. Asking guests to not take photos is such a faux pass that the couple has destroyed their reputation completely. They can have a quiet and private ceremony instead if they have stage fright.

The traditional purpose of the wedding was meeting and joining of families. The "as many people as possible" knowing about it was not a consideration all that much.

> They can have a quiet and private ceremony instead if they have stage fright.

That would be called "a wedding".

Agree. I went to a family gathering recently, and my wife's cousin was walking around live streaming. People were pissed once they figured out that private conversations were uploading live to the internet. The same guy did similar when his mom was on her death bed. Jesus Christ.

> People were pissed once they figured out that private conversations were uploading love to the internet. Audio is different from video. This is technically illegal, as consent is explicitly required in the law for audio recording.

Laws almost always vary by jurisdiction.

I always wondered: who is picking up all that plastic waste afterwards? Never been myself, but I was told 1000s of shots being fired during one session is not an exceptional case. The author talks about "Running around in the woods" so I'm a bit concerned that this may cause undesirable amounts of environmental pollution.

Agree. This isn't about consent when he knows he'll be recorded and participates anyway. Putting it on a consent form wouldn't make it any clearer.

Flip it: The filmers are too lazy and disrespectful to find a group of people that want to be filmed.

Italy, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Czechia etc etc.

What exactly doesn't work like that in the countries you mentioned?

Why did you say "in the whole EU, I think?" It seemed to imply you grasped the context of the conversation already, but now the thread has taken what feels like a bizarre turn in a recursive direction.

Most states in the United States allow one one-party consent for audio recordings.

They're not party to others' conversations.

As long as someone is not hidden, or trying to be deceptive, then they would be considered party to the conversation.

Someone walking around live streaming would become party to all the conversations.

The answer seems pretty simple. Ask your teammates not to take videos, or find a different group or a different hobby. But since they genuinely enjoy posting the videos, and there's nothing wrong with that, you're probably the one who's going to have move on. You're entitled to not want videos of you taken in public places showing up online. But you're not entitled to getting that outcome.

There's also the option of having a detailed image of a penis on your clothing so that any sort of social media app will R-rate a video featuring you.

Back when I played we used biodegradable pellets.

I think you can make arguments for and against the fundamental right to record or to not be recorded.

If someone is doing something bad/illegal, do we have a right to record/document it? If I am outside minding my own business and not doing anything bad, do I have a right to not be recorded?

What is the difference between seeing and recalling something that happened vs recording? What happens when technology blurs the difference (for example if we all start wearing and using camera AR glasses)?
