Read the article. This is more threatening than it sounds. Why are these gadgets/devices invented? People like their privacy. But the law is not behind them, not in the way they would like. So there is a market for devices or gadget that go further than what the law will give them. It’s sick. It will only give these people a false sense of safety, since there are other (worse) things that invade their privacy, with further reaching consequences. Think of all the goods you pay for electronically. Think of cellulars with GPS. Or regular cellulars. How about insurance companies asking you questions they are not allowed to asked? You won’t get the insurance if you don’t answer all of their questions!
Give the amateur photographer a break. A lot of software has a LTU for home-users (as opposed to commercial users) that allows them to use the software for free or at a reduced price. Apply the same in photography. Commercially used images should comply to stricter rules than the pictures of an amateur. Who cares if I take a lucky shot of some celebrity sunbathing half naked? I can brag about it with my friends, but other than that it gives me nothing. And it does not harm the celebrity. If I was a tabloid-photog and shot the same picture, that’s a whole different ballgame. And other rules should apply.
