JAKARTA - The virtual world is in a commotion with the case of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, who was caught having an affair with his co-worker at the Coldplay concert recently. Andy and Kristin Cabbot's intimate scene, who is also married, has gone viral online.

A big consequence is being faced by both of them. The CEO is threatened with being separated from his wife and must give most of his wealth. Who would have thought, the concert event actually gave a very effective social sanction.

Andy Byron's intrigue was caught because of the spotlight of the camera that was staring at the audience. Kiss cams and the like are very common in the United States, including in sporting events and music.

So what exactly is the regulation that applies at the festival to disseminate videos and photos of the audience? Is that legal?

At various events, the promoter usually has provided a disclaimer if the camera will highlight the venue atmosphere including the audience's reaction. Those who attend the event must be willing to agree to the possibility if they are recorded and distributed on the internet.

In Indonesia, such a warning is quite common with concert promoters or music festivals. Andy Byron's similar case has also occurred several times, with a minimal impact because of a figure who is not as powerful as Andy.

There is a possibility that the audience whose face is scattered will sue the promoter if it is not given a previous disclaimer. But reflecting on Andy's case, it is better if the concert is not a place for misappropriation, because the potential for camera capture is quite large, especially in special categories that are not as busy as others.
