If it means what I think it means, I'd rather return it and invest in a company that doesn't abuse their users.

- jeroenhd 4y agoIf you're uncomfortable with these terms you should return the product and ask for your money back. It's perfectly legal as far as I know (IANAL). This reads like a typical "we collect telemetry and there's nothing you can do about it" disclaimer, which I personally find quite offensive for such an expensive piece of kit. Just the 30k you paid is more than enough to fund a whole development cycle to add an opt-in dialogue to the camera software. I don't know if you'll find any equivalent hardware that don't include such policies in their EULA, though.
- core-utility 4y agoRED is used by major film studios all over the place, on films that I'm sure many would pay good money to see early clips or b-roll of. If they don't have a concern of RED collecting this, it's unlikely you have a problem. Not to mention, exfiltrating actual recordings would be crazy amounts of data. Unless you see in your internet traffic that the camera is uploading at several MB/s for hours on end, they're not doing what you claim they're doing.
