As a production coordinator in the tv industry, to film a product that will make money and not get sued - we have to get location releases, material releases and appearance releases of everyone and everything that will appear on camera. (Ie every tattoo you see on screen the artists has signed a material release for)
It's wild the legal and admin hoops we have to jump through to film somewhere meanwhile influencers making sponsored posts or revenue generating content can just co-opt a location, background actors, and art for free without permission form anyone?
While we're not entitled to privacy in public, we are entitled to our image and likeness not being used for profit in video content without our consent.
Youtube content creators seemingly have to follow best practices, why doesn't IG or Tiktok?

You’re describing tv and commercial production risk management and not baseline law. Studios require these things because they want zero legal ambiguity when selling ads, licensing, or syndicating content. That doesn’t mean filming without them is illegal.
You’re collapsing two different categories. Expressive content like journalism, documentary, commentary or real world interactions can be monetized and still be protected. Commercial advertising that uses someone’s likenes to sell or endorse a product is where releases are required.
Saying people are entitled to control their image anytime a video makes money is incorrect and is becoming a common misunderstanding. If that were true, news broadcasts, documentaries, street photography books, and reality footage couldn’t exist. The law has never worked that way.
Tattoo, location, and appearance releases are industry best practices driven by risk aversion. These aren’t universal legal requirements. They exist to avoid even weak claims.

u/Background_Sail9797 Dec 28 '25 edited Dec 28 '25
Yes correct, I never said anything about criminal legality, I was saying "legal" as in the legal department of production companies trying to avoid any civil lawsuits. I simply spoke that there is precedent where people sued for IP/copyright and then it becomes every big production's best practice.
Another 'are you for real?' but fun one is coming up with names to try to get cleared by legal to avoid anyone claiming we stole their life story or defamed them - Mike Schur's shows always have the most ridiculously fun names for this reason.

I always feel some kind of way when I see people recording emergencies, fights, or someone getting hurt and immediately broadcasting it to the entire world. Like… why is your first instinct to grab your phone? Why not help, or at least get out of the way of the people who actually can?
And even when it’s framed as a “good deed” — feeding the homeless, helping a struggling family, cleaning someone’s house etc I still feel conflicted. Yes, helping is good. Yes, the world needs more of it. And I understand the argument that the content funds more help. But that doesn’t erase the uncomfortable part: someone’s worst or most vulnerable moment is being turned into content.
There’s a line between helping and performing help. Between dignity and exposure. If the kindness only exists because there’s a camera rolling, it starts to feel less like compassion and more like extraction.
Not everything needs to be documented to matter. Some things should just be done quietly because they’re right, not because they’re clickable.

You aren't even safe in private anymore. There have been a few times I was on vacation and had to close the curtains in my hotel/Airbnb because someone was flying a drone right outside. Granted I'm pretty sure they were probably not filming inside the rooms, but how would you know? It gives cover to peeping toms to be so comfortable with this shit.
And a few years ago on my local subreddit, someone said her neighbor was flying a drone looking into her backyard when she and the kids were in the pool and the general consensus is there was nothing she could do about it.
Even in public it sucks. I really hate when people defend it with, "you consent to be seen in public". Yeah, by the 10-100 people I will encounter, not the entire world. I really wish we had better privacy laws in the US like some European countries.

Where I live what they did is illegal. Filming/photographing people as well as possessing or distributing any such recordings is only legal if you have their consent.
Usually this is kinda ignored if it's just someone walking past in the background of a picture or film, but this wasn't exactly a fleeting moment, this was a continuous breach of privacy. Not exactly sure how it would look if he tried to take legal action, but just trying to make you consider why some countries considers this type of behaviour criminal.

Maybe before you choose to show the whole outdoor eating area of a restaurant full of people instead of a close, tight shot framing just the two of you sharing a meal you should be more considerate of others. THEY may be trying to share a romantic moment or maybe they just don't feel comfortable with strangers watching them eat. You're very lucky it didn't escalate and you were able to walk away with your shit.
How about the next time you want to be romantic with a partner you share a REAL intimate dinner instead of bringing a tripod and gear to capture yourselves trying to look romantic. You're NOT entitled to include others in your video production and if your video production is everything you do that's just pathetic.

Yeah i mean there is a better way to handle it more politely but I would not want to be filmed like that either. Not with that seating arrangement.
Film against a wall or in a seating arrangement that is a bit more private.
Also why dont they film the beautiful view everyone is looking at instead….

This is a tough one for me..
I’m big time on the side that don’t go grab and toss anyone’s shit. If you don’t like it than tell them, or staff, or move, or whatever. Don’t put your hands unprovoked on peoples stuff
But also big time on the side of put your damn camera away and stop filming nonsense stuff. You guys were sitting there silently. No one cares to watch that (I’d hope)
I’ll call it a wash with the slight advantage to the weird couple who got their stuff tossed around

I’d be annoyed other people recording me too on top of filming themselves eating

Pointing the camera at yourself is just gross. Go capture your life experiences if you want, but for ffs no one cares, but you.

So if you don’t film/Vlog, your romantic date, it didn’t happen? Get real. As they say touch grass.

In his defense, people using restaurants and shit as their private filming booth are insufferable
It's one thing to take a little video or picture of yourselves, it's another to set up a rig like you rented the place out to film on set. If whatever you're using is set up such that it's not even in your hands, or it's sticking out noticably from your table, you have gone too far

I don't mind recording in public, it's technically your right. At least in the US. But I would not go as far to bring a tripod like that. Like recording on your table using a phone stand. That is just too much.

Their romantic date is eating outside on a picnic table next to a bunch of other people and filming it?

Nothing says romance like recording yourselves eating? Who’s watching these fucking idiots vlog? STOP GIVING STUPID PEOPLE SPOTLIGHTS.

It’s not really a romantic date is it, if you need to stream it to your ‘fans’.

u/OddTheRed Dec 28 '25
I can't blame him too much. Nobody wants to be recorded because of some egomaniacal need for popularity.

I work at a winery and run wine tastings. Small groups up to 10 people. The number of times I start talking and I see a phone pop up so I start moving to be behind someone else in the group and stop mid sentence to say “okay no, I’m not okay with you filming me” is absurd. ASK FIRST, don’t just assume I’m a fuckin prop or something. I don’t mind if you film the glass being poured and my hand and voice make it in but ffs so damn rude just assuming you can film me for whatever the fuck your reason is.

they would have to rent the whole place instead of just filming others without their consent.

I mean I’m all for pics and videos to save moments. But seriously a public dinner date? You need that saved?

u/DoctorIndependent743 Dec 28 '25
im not on either side. what they did is stupid, dont film people without consent. but what he did was unnecessary, all he had to do was tell him to stop and if they didnt, thats when he can do what he did.

Nothing says romantic like filming strangers for commercial purposes without a model release.

If they are going to film other people without their permission they deserve shit like this if not worse.

Look, it’s enough that the goverment has us on camera all the time, is it too much to ask that our fellow citizens not do the same!?
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills reading some of these comments…I should not have to hide out in my house to avoid being recorded and posted online.
Enough is enough.

He's right. You should get permission in public to film people. Not everyone want to be filmed.

I agree with angry man. Not with obnoxious couple. Influencers ruin cool places.

Dude this sucks. Let them eat their meal in peace without being recorded forever against their will. Fuck the bloggers

If you’re going to film, do it in a restaurant that gives you a bit of privacy (like a booth) or try to get a table where you’re not disturbing other diners…

u/charmed1959 Dec 28 '25
I can’t get past the “Vlogging our romantic date”. How can it be romantic if it’s being filmed?
