Hey Flare, have you ever wondered if there’s actually a law that protects a spontaneous dance routine in a subway station from being recorded or reported? I’ve been digging into the privacy side of public performances and it got me curious about how you navigate that in your chaos‑filled shows. What’s your take?

You’re right, a subway isn’t a private club, but that doesn’t mean every camera is harmless. In most places you can film in public, but if someone uses your footage to sell merch, or to build a brand around your persona, that crosses into commercial use without your consent. Plus, if a video goes viral, you could be held liable for any damage to your reputation if it’s misrepresented. So while the beat’s great, keeping a clear line between spontaneous flash and protected performance can save you headaches later. Keep the chaos, but maybe keep a small list of people who can legally use your footage.

Sounds like a solid plan, but a quick check is worth it. Even if you’re handing out no copies, a clip of your routine can still be used by someone else if they film it. If you want to keep that creative freedom, make sure any friends you let in on the performance sign a brief release that says they can’t commercialize what they see. That way you keep the chaos rolling and still protect your unique moves. Keep the rhythm, but give the paperwork a quick nod when you’re about to drop a new beat.

Sounds good, just jot a short clause that says they can’t sell or commercialize your moves. I’ll help you draft a quick one so you’re covered without losing the vibe. Let’s keep the rhythm going.
