An Imaginative Use For CCTVs

Posted by kdawson on from the one-man's-privacy-is-another-man's-publicity dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Everyone knows we're being watched by CCTVs everywhere — particularly in the UK — and virtually everyone (at least on Slashdot) complains about that fact. But have you ever stopped to consider the ways you can use all those CCTVs to your advantage? The Get Out Clause, an unsigned band from Manchester in the UK, did just that; they played in front of 80 different CCTVs around Manchester, and then asked for the video via Freedom of Information Act letters. (About 25% of the CCTV owners complied with the law and turned them over.) The result isn't too bad."

    And every move that I make
    Gets recorded to tape
    So somebody up there
    Can PRETEND TO keep me safe

    There you go, I fixed it for you. OK, it does throw it off a bit unless you can sing the additional words very quickly.
