How to use the Nanny State to your advantage

There’s been a lot of hype over the last few years about the Nanny State, and that Big Brother is watching. It’s true, more and more CCTV cameras are being installed, we are becoming used to being captured on film constantly (in the UK an average person is captured on CCTV over 300 times per day). As mentioned on ArsGeek a British band called The Get Out Clause have found a novel way of using this to their advantage. It can cost a hell of a lot of money to produce a music video, way beyond the reach of most up and coming bands. So to get round this, the band got themselves filmed on around 80 CCTV cameras and then requested copies of the footage under the Data Protection Act, then using some relatively inexpensive video editing tools they splided it together to produce a good video. That what you can do when you put your mind to it

No they just need to get someone to build them a decent website (landing pages are so 1990’s!)
