There’s also laws in place if you’re in focus, that requires permission.

Sure I can take a picture of a plaza and if you happen to be on that photo, that’s bad luck. But I can’t zoom in on you garbling down a spinach roll.

For your scenario of going too close and forcing their way to film voyeur stuff, sounds like harassment

Which banknotes utilises the most unflattering creep shots of faces?

That’s not something I’ve seen anywhere before, the rest of the people ones are pretty standard. But creepy faces is absolutely not normal

Hand drawn and creep faces (A) are by far the best

You didn’t state you like the Republicans nor the current version called MAGAs, so you’re certainly a leftist

As long as blue ray discs are released, there’ll be webshops selling them

For digital media, pirating increases the number of sales

Why would you make it harder than it is?

I believe that’s very regional, if there’s a local hiking club you could try to reach out to them.

There’s often forums dedicated to hiking, which have all sorts of hikes mapped out.

But a map service like mapy.com (formerly .cz), has the official marked routes as part of their mapping data

And best of all, it’s based on an American average

Gravity walking is the missing link, lift your foot and let gravity pull it down. You’ll be going down almost running and it takes barely any energy.

Only ISBN’d books, so anything earlier than 1965 is currently not requested by them

Now we just need to proof they’ve copied the files onto a second hard drive, so they own two copies

If we’re gonna keep it as a copyright issue, I think people are mostly mad they’re not able to reprint the books themselves if they wanted to. We’re not speaking from a copyright position
