Anish Kapoor is not a dumb ass

Re: The post before this one.

I read the entire article discussing this situation and it’s not as flagrantly copyright fascistic as I portrayed it. Reading the explanation from the Millenium Park’s director on this scanned page:
A professional photographer has to buy a $325 media permit to shoot any part of one day in any city park […]. “The policy allows students, journalists, and amateur photographers to shoot in the park with no restrictions.”
I’m changing my position. I think it’s wrong to disallow anyone from shooting in the public park. It’s not quite as heinous as I made it sound in my original post, but is still a nasty precedent. Locking down images of what should be a public resource is wrong.

(M.River helped me to look further into this situation and I hope it’s been clarified a bit.) permanent link to this post
