can we go back in time? For example, we could get 1000s of people to get on the traffic cams on December 4, wearing a particular outfit, you know, for fun.

Why C&D? It's a public resource.

Hypothetically anyone could do what he did.

Lots of people send out unenforceable C&D letters. They hope to scare the person they send them to.

Love this. I really should be paying for 404. Y’all do amazing work.

Would be terrible if this software was made available for everyone…

More of this please. Start standing up to “the man” and let our voices be heard. So much bullying going on its disgusting. If this isn’t the time to start standing up against their control then there never will be. This is the time. We’re in the worst time period since the 30’s.

The City could have just embraced the art as a joyful free awareness campaign, but no

I'd love to see how exactly a cease-and-desist is supposed to work for something that is....literally publicly accessible 🤦‍♀️

Lol this is epic

In the 90s there was a group called The Surveillance Camera Players who did theatre in front of surveillance cameras. Now the problem would be finding the ones that actually function.
