The author argues that in 20 years, humanity will be capturing most of its so-called content, and for that reason he's disappointed that he wasn't allowed to record a private conference.

I wonder if he would accept the following argument: "In 20 years, humanity will be so sexually liberated that everybody will have naked pictures of themselves on Facebook / Assbook / whatever. Hence it's perfectly OK if I shoot clandestine videos of guys in the gym showers and sell the movies to a porn site."
