Celebs and Poi Question

 Written by: LazyAngel


You'd never guess I'm not a huge psytrance fan, would you?

Now one thing I never understand is why the melodic, complex, witty, rhythmically varied and altogether tending towards actual music of Shpongle ever ever gets lumped with doofdoofdoofdoofyawnscream pystrance!

Some of Hallucinogen (another Posford adventure) heads that way.. but Sphongle's the OTHER stuff

Public photography is wide open
That’s the general rule. When you’re on public property (a street, sidewalk, city park, etc) you can take pictures of what you see. This means that you can also photograph private property as long as you’re not trespassing to get the shot.

Publicity and Privacy Rights of Individuals

You may need permission to photograph people due to state laws giving individuals privacy and publicity rights.

Most states in the US recognize that individuals have a right of privacy. The right of privacy gives an individual a legal claim against someone who intrudes on the individual's physical solitude or seclusion, and against those who publicly disclose private facts. Unless you have permission, avoid publishing or distributing any photo of an individual that reveals private facts about the individual (particularly if revealing those private facts might embarrass the individual).

Almost half the states in the US recognize that individuals have a right of publicity. The right of publicity gives an individual a legal claim against one who uses the individual's name, face, image, or voice for commercial benefit without obtaining permission. In case you are wondering how the news media handle this, newspapers and news magazines have a "fair use" privilege to publish names or images in connection with reporting a newsworthy event.

Be particularly careful about celebrities. Using a photograph of a celebrity for your own commercial gain - for example, posting a photo you took of Clint Eastwood on your business's marketing material or business Web site - is asking for a lawsuit, even if you took the photograph when you ran into Clint on a public street.

Thats US laws though.... NZ's laws are different I am sure. George? Where art thou......

Here's an example of how hard "celebrity" may be to define. Sally Phillips spins poi (and is HILARIOUS in pointing out typical poi spinner behavior) in I believe the first episode of "Jam and Jerusalem" ("Clatterford" in the US on BBC America). But outside of England, I don't think she counts as a "Celebrity" -- so would she count?

Sure why not? I dont know who Dooper Dog is but I do now because of the competition.

@Basstones- Thats why they changed it to look a likes to, Santa, elvis etc..... You could do impersonations of Elfvis magic cards
