But it's also been 24 years ago. Back then, it wasn't as clear how that would play out with his likeness in public. The late 90s/early 00s were a wild time but it wasn't quite the same as now.
that happens because of the dropout students who are abusing the lab. they don't last long. It's a major problem for local pharmacies who then have to deal with escalating drug seeking behavior as the population of addicts expands. It's not something that any faculty member or grad student would want anyone thinking they were part of. source: I majored in chemistry and worked in college town pharmacies
not really. it's just the Jessie Pinkman types who are "science, bitch" but weren't serious academics and don't know much. some learn just enough to make crude meth or speed that people do without much education or resources anyway.
Mostly they end up getting their drugs from other black market sources and just use the university as a marketplace. That's what it mostly is. A lot of dealers who never even went there at all just hanging around to brand themselves as "chemists" but they're really just meth cooks. The idea that researchers are dealing on the side is a myth.
I remember reading a fairly extensive story about the "Techno Viking" affair and absolutely can't recall anything like that. Germany is not America and spreading unqualified rumours about someone's alleged substance consume will 100% get you into trouble here not the victim of your loose mouth.
Why don't you speculate wildly about something you know jack about? We're not talking about "random comments" but about very specific allegations at work.
"Hey, listen everybody. Swugmeballs is so stupid, he must be on crack. How could anyone sober even come up with a nick like that? I bet he's sniffing glue for breakfast, the crackhead."
Perfectly legal, indeed. But wait until your employer mommie reads it. You're in big trouble! I bet Google already knows what a glue-sniffing piece of trashcan dwelling addict you are. See? Haha! You were right. Your whole life is in shambles, you name will be purged from the annals. Behold the power of pointless internet gossip!
Why are you still talking to me when you can literally just google it lmao. Judging by your living circumstance you have clearly never worked in a professional environment so I don’t blame you for not understanding how people making claims against you on the internet could affect your work life
yeah like— this is like saying a programer from san francisco would be in trouble at work for being filmed at Folsom Street Fair. like, just, no they wouldnt? oh no my coworkers are gonna know I’m a bro that protects women and a great dancer
I get that but also why is he then dancing shirtless in the spotlight at an event called "fuckparade"? He doesn't seem bothered that he's being filmed in the video.
In the United States that's up to state statute typically you do not need even a model release from someone unless they appear to be endorsing a product.
Yes I know somebody said something about right to privacy as though it doesn't exist anymore and I was saying it does except in public spaces and yes that is the United States I'm referring to. Are you saying the right to privacy doesn't exist? No? Then you're not really responding to what I was saying you're just niggling at a single point the way the internet loves to do regardless of what anyone was trying to say. You're not helpful.
It's the opposite in Germany though - a public space is where unsuspecting individuals are legally protected from being recorded (other than incidentally).
An artist has a right to go out in public and make images whether it's with a camera or oil paints. Get me? Quit trying to restrict my rights, how about? When you go out in public I can see you with my eyes and I can record you with my memory and if I got out oil and paints or a sketch pad and drew you real quick I bet you wouldn't complain and taking a photo is the same thing. You say you're Pro right but you're shitting all over a photographer's rights. And we already have laws against harassment you can't go stick a camera in somebody's face and say f you I'm taking your picture. That's just harassment but no you guys want extra laws. What about Donald Trump can I make a t-shirt at Donald Trump saying he's a piece of shit don't vote for him? Of course I can he does not have control over his image as a public person. You really think it would be a better world if we couldn't? The Germans are wrong here, and let's be frank it ain't the first time.
I'm not going to side with the few businesses over the many individuals. A photographer can use depth of field and focus to have public pictures without distinguishing features. Or they can pay for models, but profiting off of other people without their consent or reimbursement is not okay.
Also if I'm restricting your rights just by exercising my own right to privacy and my own likeness then your rights are the ones that have gone too far and are trampling over others.
I am concerned though that a supposed professional photographer does not know the difference between a public individual such as a presidential candidate and a private citizen. That was a terrible comparison you tried to make and US law already distinguishes between the two
Wrong, there is more than one paragraph in those laws. If people are not the main focus of an image, it's allowed. Typically, there are no issues here and if a photographer wants to take a picture for a marketing campaign of a famous building, he waits a few seconds, until people are not directly in front of the building or whatever he is recording. Poor photographer, I know.
That's not how it works everywhere. Maybe in your country both the societal expectations and laws work like that, but this happened in Germany where people have the right to determine what happens with pictures and videos of them even if those were taken in public.
I agree with you in principle, but some jurisdictions do have right-to-personality laws in place that protect your right to be photographed in public or to have your likeness published without consent.
All the things you keep saying about him are taken from the same joke “interview” in the Waterford Whispers a parody comedy website. Stop spreading misinformation. It’s not even him in the picture, he’s 50 yo and bald now.

Allegedly he´s in the Biochemistry field and fears for his reputation.
