However this law in Indiana does, http://www.in.gov/legislative/bills/2013/SB/SB0373.2.html http://www.in.gov/legislative/bills/2013/SB/SB0373.2.html
IANAL but this appears to make distribution of such recordings illegal:
Makes it unlawful recording of agricultural or industrial
operations, a Class A infraction, for a person, with intent to harass,
defame, annoy, or harm, to: (1) enter real property that is owned by
another person and on which agricultural operations or industrial
operations are being conducted; (2) take a photograph of or make a
video recording or motion picture of the real property, structures
located on the real property, or the agricultural operations or
industrial operations being conducted on the real property; and (3)
distribute the photograph or recording; without the written consent of
the owner of the real property or an authorized representative of the
owner.
- ensignavenger 14y agoIANAL, but the above citation says AND, implying that it may be legal to take the photo or recording, if you don't also distribute it, or to distribute it, if you don't also create it- so you would have to do both. I may be completely wrong with this interpretation though, and the wording is too vague.
- spacemanaki 14y agoGood catch! I guess you'd have to take it to a lawyer to be sure... I wish that On The Media bit did a better job with citations.
