I like your analogy Jayhawk Pride. I have one too. Do you lock your doors at night? Do you lock them when you leave your house/apartment? Is it because you are paranoid? Or is it because you do not want any strangers in when you are not? Are you doing it because it makes you safer than not locking them? What are your chances of being robbed? Does that mean you shouldn't lock any doors? After all, in most of the cases, nobody would even know or care you didn't lock up....

Look, there is nothing wrong with having your parents videotape your brothers and streaming it on the internet or to your cell phone/ipod/blackberry. There is nothing wrong with an individual gathering all of his matches, making a highlight tape and posting it on the internet for colleges to view. In fact, I strongly encourage them to do so. My oldest son has a website set up for baseball as a way to show colleges what he has. Again, no problem.

The problem becomes when you videotape someone who is not a member of your family or team. You can't videotape someone without their knowledge and keep it for your personal use. You can't and shouldn't post any video about any minor on the internet without the parents and/or their permission. That's the law. And like it or not, there wouldn't be a federal law without some reason behind it.
