Default Actually,
It's the latest thing Terry. A famous person who gets paid to speak will stipulate in their contract that no recordings, audio or video, be taken. Their speech is viewed as a performance, and therefore their intellectual property. If it were a public forum free for any who chose to attend, this would not be possible. Then this would be an entirely different matter. I don't know for sure, but I'd be willing to bet tape recorders are allowed in the Supreme Court when rulings are given.

No, this would have happened if former President Clinton gave the speech, or John Travolta, or Barbara Streisand sang, or any such "performance".
