mrjaydub Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Agree, there are some restrictions on drones, but none that are privacy-related. A situation where technology advances far quicker than laws can get through Congress. NOTE: A quick google search shows that FAA safety restrictions on drones is that they cannot be flown below 400ft, over groups of people, or over stadiums.

ShortAndFast Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I've enjoyed the legal discussion on this thread, especially @garfield's cherry-picker difficulties. But perhaps the better question the OP and others should be asking is why, if a corps asks you not to attend or record their rehearsal, you'd ignore their request? I love to attend rehearsals, and I find the secrecy in modern DCI to be beyond ridiculous (seriously, Crown dragging out their show announcement over 4 weeks, they should title it "constantly achieving absurdity"). But it's a tiny activity, why try to go around whatever the corps want? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 If I were running a corps, and using music I hadn't secured rights to, I'd be worried about publishing houses finding out about it, too. Not sure that threatening fans is the best way to make sure you don't get caught breaking the law, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually many states have privacy restrictions on drones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Thunder Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) For a second I thought the title of this thread was "Do drum corps have a legal right to restrict AS### at their rehearsals." I hope so. Edited June 9, 2017 by Northern Thunder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BariBone Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 What about corps members that attach go pro cameras to their heads and record the entire show from the field and then post it to youtube...or Hopkins live streamingentire chunks of music during spring training practice. do the corps police themselves or are they just worried about the fan base leaking the shows before they are widely seen.

Quick correction. Drones cannot be flown above 400 feet. If they could fly above 400 feet, they would be in airspace potentially occupied by airplanes and there would be a risk of collision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mingusmonk Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Watching this thread slowly go off the rails one or two posts at a time is entertaining. 1 hour ago, ShortAndFast said: I've enjoyed the legal discussion on this thread, especially @garfield's cherry-picker difficulties.

While I do appreciate the legal professionals providing a little input for once, (even though they will always get grief for doing so. This is the internet after all.) the theoretical legal parsing of the OP suggests an attitude that seems almost entirely self-serving.
