Recording public spaces should be illegal. Public street? Public sidewalk? Not your turf, no cameras, no recording.

I'm not sure you've thought this through. That would mean you can't record law enforcement or any other abuse of power.

The issue here isn't the recording, it's the packaging it up for sale that's the issue.

I've given a bit of thought on this, and I think the best path might be civil liability for the privacy loss-- defined broadly. Private security camera that never goes anywhere? You're fine. Start posting that same footage online where it results in people being massively tracked: big liability.

I think otherwise it's too difficult to define the exact boundary between harmful and harmless use-- instead it's better to say that if your use harms someone you'll regret it.

I think that goes too far, but limiting public space recordings to a camera you're operating in person would be a good starting point.

Good idea: keep the confrontational 1st amendment auditors, lose the benefits of security cameras. /s

So google maps streetview should be illegal?
