I get to decide because it's my body you are photographing.
i photograph you with my mind every time i look at you. no, you dont get to decide. i look where i want.
Staring makes people uncomfortable. It is rude because you are inflicting feelings of discomfort on another person. Don't.
why does it make them feel uncomfortable? is it because of their misconception of me being rude?
Many people do, including me. I find the idea of someone being able to look out of the eyes of anyone around me terrifying.
So your terrified of people looking at you, fine, dont leave your house i guess?
I have a list of books you can read that might help you understand the opposing view, if you're interested.
I understand the opposing view, i just think its wrong.

Really? Because everything I've seen, including news stories here, indicate cinema is growing. And is predicted to continue to grow.
This is true of many (perhaps all) of the industries piracy is "killing."
As far as I can tell, you might as well be saying PC gaming is dying.
do you have any sources? because at least in my country cinemas are closing down and consolidating quite a lot.
Also piracy was never killing cinemas, because cinemas are experience. piracy was blamed for killing things like DVD sales, but in reality the problem if not being able to download a movie legally was what was killing them.
Then again, people will spend hundreds of dollars to mod their consoles to play pirated games, so maybe someone really would pay over a grand just to get pirated movies, I don't know.
Ech, what? There are plenty free guides on the internet to mod your consoles to accept pirated games. even technocally illeterate can hire services to do that for something like 20 dollars, plenty of ads about it around.

In my country taking my picture against my will constitutes harassment, which is against the law.
My local pub has already decided to ban the use of glass within their establishment under advice from their legal team and local police; I checked after reading your post just to make sure I don't have to tolerate crap from people like you in future... at least off the internet anyway. While the laws in the US are probably much different than where I live it wouldn't surprise me that this brand of cinemas had been advised to ban the use of glass for exactly the same reasons as my local bar did.
Good luck living in fear? Where did that come from? I'm not trying to violate anybodies rights. I'm not a technononce - that's the label a copper I know uses for the folks who want glass (because the only people interested in glass are sex pests/pedos/voyeurs etc.) I have nothing to fear, I just object to corporations making money whoring out information/images that should by all rights be mine and mine alone to sell. I've certainly nothing to fear from the likes of you; I know my rights and the proper procedure to enforce them lawfully.
dont know what country you are in, so the laws may very well be different there.
Your afraid that somone takes a picture of you, have to be afraid of that every time your not alone, so your pretty much living in fear.
Oh, and now your generalizing all glass audience, how nice. how about next time you have a conversation dont insult others by calling them pedos, ech?
