Regardless of what one might think of the Tar Sands or Greenpeace, it concerns me that the City of Edmonton seems to be requiring its approval before citizens can publish a photo of a public facility. Further, it seems to be suggestig that that approval might depend on what the city thinks of the "agenda" of the citizens involved. Sounds a bit scary to me.

Here I thought the quote of the day would be something to do with gender reassignment surgery....

Anon@2:05 - I don't think citizens do have to worry about publishing a photo of a public facility. However, if an organization trying to make money off the image that is only public because the City deems it so, well then, permission is needed. It is still the responsibility of the City and it is their perogative as to how it is used. Greenpeace knows this and is just to cheap to get their own props and set pieces. And when your cheap, you get sued!
