He hasn't toured in a while (properly), next album tour (if the album is similar sort of vibe to HITH) I think he'll easily manage a decent run of dates again
It's elastic, but it's not my place to decide where these lines are drawn, and what oversteps those freedoms. That's up to people with far more training, knowledge and understanding of the laws tham me. We can only hope and trust that those people know when those lines are crossed.
And yes, it does, that's pretty much what I've been trying to say (poorly?) I 100% agree with that, I think we can, and should, put the issue of public filming aside, that's not really what this is all about in the first place, it's an harassment charge. An analogy could be that it's not illegal to walk down a street behind somebody, but if I do that a few steps behind the same person, on multiple occasions, and this makes them feel scared and / or distressed, it then potentially becomes illegal, under harassment and stalking laws. It's a silly analogy, but valid nonetheless, I hope you can see through it's silliness, to the point I'm making.
We wouldn't make walking behind people illegal, nor then, should this affect filming and photography laws.
As a wider topic of conversation, outlawing or restricting tools used by criminals is not usually the answer, if we start going down that path where does it stop? In this case, it seems the camera, public filming rights and video sharing platforms may have been used as tools for his depravity. There are a million more cases, with a million different tools in use, do we restrict them all?
I think we're actually in agreement here.
