YOU missed the whole point.
Freedom of expression means you can express yourself - not that no one is going to push back.
This guy expressed himself.. some people didn’t like it.. so?
Should the law be that people should be able to play music and no one can say STFU?
No that wasn’t what I was referring to. Perhaps you caught a different meaning in the article than I did. And that is fine. It isn’t that big of a deal. If my original post to you seemed harsh I apologize.
Now I remember what I caught in the article! It is the tyranny of the minority and how it is playing out in today’s world. You read a different meaning and that’s cool.
I’ve watched his videos a few times and always felt he brought a lot of joy to others. Then a small group of total jerks try to ruin it for everybody.
In this case, that is EXACTLY what the law says.
Public place
Public piano.
The Chinese group was at the same station to make their own film, but he was there first playing the piano.
The woman goes up to him, says they are from Chinese TV, and asks that he stops recording because they own the rights to their likenesses. He says they're in public and they have freedoms in the UK.
It wasn't at all about the Chinese group and his music playing; it was about them not wanting to be filmed in public, even incidentally from a distance. When he refused to comply, they became belligerent.
If you saw the video and not just read an account of it, you would know that what happened is not what you are describing about people not liking street performers in busy commuter throughways.
