Class 2 Question Regarding today's discussion on Fixation Challenges and Recording of Stand Up Improvisations, would a security camera recording the stand up routine not for the material but for protection be considered a fixation in terms of affording copyright? The stand up comedian (or other author) is aware of the security camera on the premises and has given authorization for the camera to take video/audio images of his improvisation; therefore, does the purpose of the recording matter in affording copyright?
