You had not, of course, rented the highway and reserved it to make a movie of your walk.

On the other hand, if films of your walk were used commercially you might change your mind.

For example, that crazy killer abortionst in Wichita might use a film of your walk to prove to an insurance company that his opponents were not so dangerous that he shouldn't be able to buy liability insurance for his business.

Without a "release" he couldn't do that and you could sue his little crotch panties off.

Are you saying that taping or photographing people walking, driving, or performing any other normal activity on public property and then using that tape for a commercial purpose requires a release from the subjects of the photos or tapes?

I'm not saying you're wrong, but if it's true I would like to see the pertinent laws or statutes because it's news to me. If it's true it seems to me that all the paparrazzi (sp?) who pester celebrities by taking those candid photos and selling them to the tabloids would either be in jail or sued into bankruptcy.
