There should be some law that should state that if you can be at some place you can have a camera and take photos from that place of whatever you like and no one should be able to forbid you that or require a fee.
So to you theres no difference between being fleetingly seen naked whilst changing (eg at a swimming pool) and having your nude self featured in mass media?
Would you at least concede that this wouldnt be true for everyone? Or are you trying to make some sort of impractical distinction between capture and use of an image.
FWIW I'm personally happy to embrace nudism but feel forcing the possibility of widespread exposure on others is going way to far.
> So to you theres no difference between being fleetingly seen naked whilst changing (eg at a swimming pool) and having your nude self featured in mass media?
No difference, meaning that I don't want to be in both of this situations to pretty much same degree. That's why I choose swimming pools with private changing rooms. Also currently anyone can smuggle camera to a changing room and publish photos of the people he/she can snap on mass media called internet. And we can't pretty much do anything about this. Pretending we can and from time to time trying doesn't provide us with any additional privacy.
> Would you at least concede that this wouldnt be true for everyone?
Yes. I'm aware that some people don't mind being seen naked when not too many people watch.
> Or are you trying to make some sort of impractical distinction between capture and use of an image.
Not really. If it's captured it can be published. At least anonymously.
I'm neither in favor or against nudism. I think that society could use more acceptance about how ordinary people look and what ordinary people do.
I think there is a great value in right to take and publish pictures. Of police officers on duty, of school cafeteria menu of what all interesting especially powerful people do and how the policies turn out in the field.
I think that no one with camera should ever feel frightened to take photo or record something.
I also don't really like fighting technology with law. Technology will always win eventually but it can do massive damage to progress of mankind delaying whole nations by centuries.
In 50 years projects like Google Glass will probably blend the boundary between seeing and recording so why struggle.
Well, that's an interesting perspective. But I don't think it's either desirable in itself or necessary for consistency with any higher principle, so I disagree.
