We're talking civil liability, not criminal. They can make your access contingent on agreeing to their terms. Even if the venue is publicly owned. So buying a ticket to a concert at, say, Red Rocks, which is owned by the city of Denver, doesn't automatically entitle you to be able to record the performance. So, what if you don't buy a ticket and, instead, setup a camera with a parabolic mic and telephoto lens from public space outside the venue? You still don't have the copyright for the music or this performance of it. So you can't go selling videos of concert. Now, I suppose it could become criminal in some cases. For instance, if you're trespassing somewhere you don't have a right to be, or if it rises to the level of criminal copyright infringement. Don't get me wrong, I think what ULA is doing here is dumb. But I think it's legal. (IANAL)
