Living in a country where up to 1975 which wasn't forbidden was compulsory 
I've been recording in a stealthy way opera performances last thirty years. 
It's not a Spanish prerogative;you can check any web list of opera recording 
exchanges. I've shooted pictures -with tiny cameras-in every forbidden place 
all around the world but never used these recordings/pictures for commercial 
profit so I think that the propietor's rights are unharmed. I have a strong 
sensibility regarding injustice -see for instance the world wealth 
distribution among different countries- but a much more mitigate one about 
legality. Have any of you driven a car in Naples? I think that if everybody 
were respectful with traffic laws there the collapse was inmediate! I felt 
OK there.This situation in the school play was IMHO a nonsense!
