Actually, I think photographing someone and branding them as some kind
of Noisebridge outcast is a totally fucked up move. Yeah, they can
remove a photo if they know - do the sleeping people know? Can they
erase the photo before Google finds it?

Anyway, I'm not clear that some people napping violates the lease. It's
an appeal to authority to get upset about the lease. The landlord
doesn't appear to care about anything except money and not burning the
place to the ground. Remember: it was called a sweatshop before it was
Noisebridge.

All the best,
