Cheap Seats Daily: How Bad Is Dan Snyder Pimping the Redskins Cheerleaders?
,----[ Quote ]
| Update on PhotoGate: Dan Snyder DID
| censor Dan Steinbergâs photos from the
| Tampa Bay game!
|
| Steinberg had chronicled the ill-will
| among the home fans at FedExField, and
| his piece was accompanied by photos of
| the ill-willed wearing anti-Snyder T-
| shirts and garb.
|
| Steinberg took the photos himself, while
| walking around the stadium. Heâs been
| taking those photos at FedExField and
| posting them without problems since he
| started doing the Sports Bog.

Do we actually own anything anymore?
,----[ Quote ]
| With the rise of Web 2.0 which has been sold to us as the next version of the
| Internet that allows the end user to feedback into content â not to mention
| that the subsequent content no longer belongs to us. How it is the transfer
| of ownership seems to take place so liberally in one direction only? What
| part of the Web that supposedly now belongs to us more than ever actually now
| belongs to us?

Britain's no-photographing-cops law: even the cops hate it
,----[ Quote ]
| The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's radio show As it Happens did a great
| job covering the new British law that makes it a crime to take a picture of a
| police officer or a building, where that picture might be useful in "planning
| an act of terrorism." First, they interviewed Peter Murray, Vice-President of
| the National Union of Journalists, who, predictably, worries that his members
| will find themselves with arrest-records as terrorists for violating the law.

No Photo Ban in Subways, Yet an Arrest
,----[ Quote ]
| Finished with his camera, Mr. Taylor, 30, was about to board the train when a
| police officer called to him. He stepped back from the train.
|
| âThe cop wanted my ID, and I showed it to him,â Mr. Taylor said. âHe told me
| I couldnât take the pictures. I told him thatâs not true, that the rules
| permitted it. He said I was wrong. I said, âIâm willing to bet your
| paycheck.â â
|
| Mr. Taylor was right. The officer was enforcing a nonexistent rule. And if
| recent experience is any guide, one paycheck wonât come close to covering
| what a wrongful arrest in this kind of case could cost the taxpayers.

Elderly woman prohibiting from photographing empty swimming pool "to prevent
paedophilia"
,----[ Quote ]
| An 82-year-old woman in Southampton, UK was told she couldn't take photos of
| an empty wading pool because she might be a paedophile. Because, you know,
| anything that children touch regularly becomes part of their souls, and if a
| paedophile looks at those objects, it's just like sexually assaulting a
| child.
