Last time I checked requirements for a professional video shoot which
was about 5 years ago, I came up with the same categories so I don't
think anything had changed, just it is being made better known.


The fact that this procedure is on the TfL website under "...
/corporate/media" seems to suggest to me it is nothing to do with members of
the public taking 'happy snaps'.

Which of course is the 'non-conclusion' we all came to last time this
subject aired...


Indeed, sorry for airing it again - as I've just said above, it's a
non-story, albeit perhaps another good illustration of how not-very-
good hackery works.

As I've also said above, this fuss could have been avoided - and could
be avoided in the future - if the LU Film Office webpages were a bit
more specific. They are after all the first 5 hits when you search the
TfL site for the term "photography", and casual surfers shouldn't be
expected to deconstruct URLs (though journalists should perhaps
notice!).
