I can't approve it to show here but thought it worth outlining. Amongst the badly typed abuse that came with the comment was a very valid point being made along the lines of don't you know that you can't broadcast video content online that you haven't had permission to film. This is of course absolutely right. If you haven't had the permission to film someone, then you shouldn't be broadcasting their image - something I talk about in the working with broadcast media sessions that I have run for clients and perhaps should have pointed out in this blog post when I first typed it all the way back in July last year. My reason for posting this originally was to demonstrate the power of new media and show organisations how, whether permissions have been granted or not to use the footage, social media has the power to very quickly damage your brand. By the time an organisation or individual may realise (if ever) that their image is incorrectly being used, and ask that it be taken off of a website or blog, the damage may have already been done. My thanks to the anonymous person who felt the need to point this out. Your comment was spot on and a valuable contribution to this blog, but your approach to responding to a blog post somewhat rude and inappropriate. I feel a blog post coming on about the etiquette of online conversation! I received a comment on this blog post today over at the old home for this blog on blogger.
