So this guy thinks that if he goes to a free screening of the Passion of the Christ it is OK to videotape it and use it in his own products. Genius! Just because an event is held in a public venue or on public property does not make the performance public domain. Half the concerts in America are held in publicly owned stadiums or theaters but he should try taping the Rolling Stones for his own use.

Another excellent point! I remember when the Stones played University of Oklahoma stadium - we lived three miles away, but it was loud enough that we could have taped it!

True, and if that's the case, there is supposed to be an announcement.

That massive rustling and crashing sound you hear are youtubers trying to pull out concert videos.
