p2pnet news | Cool Stuff:- UK band the Get Out Clause have found a way to produce a video which amounts to sheer genius.

The billions of pounds spent covering Britain with closed circuit spy cameras has been an ‘utter fiasco‘ Scotland Yard surveillance chief detective chief inspector Mick Neville was recently quoted as saying.

Not everyone, though, would agree.

How about Video Sniffing? – asked an April p2pnet post.

It’s film-making for people, “low on resources, but high on imagination” and the ability to utilise closed-circuit TV surveillance systems.

Now Get Out Clause have taken it an interesting step further

“Unable to hire a production crew for a standard 1980’s era MTV music video, they performed their music in front of 80 of the 13 million CCTV ’security’ cameras available in England, including one on a bus,” says ArsGeek, going on:

“They then used Britain’s Data Protection Act to request the footage that was shot of them.”

A little editing here and there and, “presto! They got themselves a unique and in my opinion quite interesting music video.”

And the cartels think they’ve got everything under control?
