If not, that's illegal you know ... they could sue you.

Not true...a photo taken in public is public domain.  At worst the venue organizers may hold a claim since the venue isn't technically "public" but rather "private".

... hmm, well they DO charge an admission fee to get into these events, so wouldn't that make it a private venue? It's rude at the very least .. I wouldn't want my face available for anyone to glare at without my express permission  ;)

 How did everyone here get their roms?   Someone had to distribute
them.   And more than likely, nobody has ONLY the roms they own.
 
 I dont see why people get their panties in a twist over this stuff.   If you have Roms
you are not supposed to have,  then you are just as guilty as the people you
point fingers at.

 Drop the 'Holier than Thou' crap, and get real people.   Loosen up. Relax. Enjoy
your pirated roms while you can.

You completely miss the point of this thread. The question asked wasn't, "is it moral" but "is it legal?" to which the answer is a plain no. The moral question is one for everyone to answer on their own. The legal question if cut and dry.

Meh, I'm wrong the opening post was a bit of either.

There is no expectation of privacy at a public gathering like that. Though there may have been a charge to get in, it's not someone's home or a bathroom or someplace where you have a reasonable expectation of privacy.
