I agree with the freedom of speech but is it against the law to videotape a public rally and then run it on YouTube? Do I need consent. Please feel free to respond directly. Thanks.

He was told he had to stay in the media area, or he'd be arrested. He never did get to the "public" area.

Anyone can shoot anything from a public vantage point. The first reaction of government is to suppress speech, no matter what our rights are. Now, it's not pragmatic for 50,000 people to show up at the White House with camcorders and demand access to Tony Snow's briefing. But one guy shooting from a public vantage point? Seems like an over-enthusiastic cop, and hopefully a clarification of the First Amendment will be in order. Unless a new clause of the Patriot Act is... We don’t license the media.

If they should get access to the same places press gets, well only if they get the proper clearance (in which case the essentially become press). But in a public area they should not be singled out or treated differently than press photogs. They should have the same freedom the press has on public places!
