So how does the Renfairs being in Europe change anything?
It doesn't. It was just my observation that all the renfaire clips that I have seen have been European, so maybe that makes a difference as to whether the victim knows what they're in for. I don't know. I was also asking if anyone knows of renfaires in the US that do this and if there are any clips of them.
but what does that haveto do with the question i asked
You can't just make a video with unknowing people.
As far as I know, those clips were sold on videos. It is just illegal, like filming someone while having sex without their knowledge and then sell that.
Sure, it happens, but it can end with a conviction. It's possible that most don't care, but all it needs is one person to find out and care about it.
Plus, I am not sure about the "not caring". I can't think of very many people who would be happy to find out videos of them were sold to fetishists.
Speculate all you want, but how many of these clips have you actually viewed? There are one or two dozen floating around the internet, and not one single woman is upset by what happened to her.
Well, it's not sex, it's tickling, and it was done in public
Obviously, you can.
As badly as you want him to serve time, he never did.
You know, this *is* a tickling forum, not a jailhouse lawyer discussion board. Some of us like to see the real thing. You seem intent on poo-pooing anything you deem illegal.
As Phineas said, the worst thing that happened was he was forced to leave. So he packed up his stocks and went to another Renfaire. Easy enough.
There are one or two dozen floating around the internet, and not one single woman is upset by what happened to her.

How do you know that?
I actually couldn't care less because it never happened to me, but still I think it's a pretty bad thing to do. That's all.
When it is sold as a fetish product, and it is, I would say that it started to be sexual, wouldn't you?
