The Man Who Invented, Then Hated, Shopping Malls

gorillaman says...

He's from the north, or the midlands anyway. In the south we'd pronounce it 'maul', except we wouldn't, we'd call it a 'shopping centre'.

Engels said:

ya, he pronounces it like 'mal' from malicious, not mol like molify. Is this a UK vs US thing?

There have been at least 3 mass shootings in Australia since 1997 (defined as a shooting where 4 or more people are injured or killed - the same as the popular https://www.massshootingtracker.org/ )

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_massacres_in_Australia

One could include a 4th incident in NSW this last week where our poorly trained police shot 5 people. One guy with a knife and 4 bystanders. Check that line of fire yeah?

Someone asked about the ferris wheel shots on Vimeo:


DAMPDESIGN 1 week ago

thanks chris! In the ferris wheel I placed the camera's on a tripod close to the window. 1 shot per sec.


The other shots that looked like crane shots were most likely well chosen vantage points... and one looked like riding an escalator in the shopping centre.

How did they get those crane shots? Fantastic.

Atm wants you to have a happy day

charliem says...

We dont have them in Australia.
ATM's are conveniently placed around shopping centres, or the bank, or in a bar, or failing that...most places that do EFTPOS allow you to withdraw cash with purchase.

Drive through ATM's have no place here.

CrushBug said:

This is new to you? We have them in Canada, too and they have been around for about 15 years. Pretty nice when it is -20 out and it allows you to get to your destination more efficiently. How do you think people got to an ATM otherwise? Do you think if it wasn't a drive through that they would have walked to the bank?

So basically, Hired Thugs are being paid by one shopping centre (Dalian Department Store) to vandalize the signs of another shopping centre (Parkland Mall - also located in Dalian.)
Obviously a crime is being committed here - and on film. Where are the police?


Crime? Hardly...this is just healthy competition.

Amazing Digital Rug Design

arghness says...

Yeah, the shopping centre near to me has done this for 4 years or so each Christmas, with snowflakes on the floor that move away as you walk over them.

>> ^spoco2:

Just looks like it's projected down. Which if it is, is entirely nothing new. A shopping center near us has a bit of floor with something like this being projected on it, except it has a rotating selection of games. Soccer, hockey, skiing etc. The kids think it's awesome.

Is the shopping centre not responsible for the unlawful use of its equipment by its employees?


First, it's "center" not "centre". You may live in Australia, but you were born and raised here, so stop with the European "pinkies out" bullshit.

Second, yes, the mall is responsible for unlawful use of its equipment by its employees. I think it falls under Respondeat Superior, but I do believe this responsibility is limited. Aside from disciplining or firing the security guards who leaked the tape, I cannot see any further obligations necessary from the mall. Then again, I'm not a lawyer.

I'd suspect it works kind of like this. You can't hold McDonald's liable if some lunatic employee came into work and decided to shoot the place up. But if he sold a chicken sandwich as a burger and refused to fix the problem, then that would be different a violation of the contract between customer and McDonald's therefore McDonald's would be liable to fix it (redress). In the case of the mall security guard, they stole company property and published it on the web, and the mall has a reasonable obligation to fire or reprimand the employee and redress any damages which are none in this case. Zero. No rights were not infringed. There was no broken contracts, no damages, nothing.

Pinkies out.

>> ^dag:
What gives them the right to publish her personage to the world?. TV appearances require signed releases by the participants and this should too. Presumably, the uploader is also profiting through YouTube ad revenue. The security officers were employed, doing their duties as representatives of the mall. I think she has a case against the Shopping Center.
Sure, she's a bit of an idiot- but this is not fair.

Not sure that answers the damages or rights violation question, but that's a good point you brought up about the signed releases for TV appearances. Releases are for companies/people who stand to make a profit from a production. It removes financial liability if the 'talent' comes back later laying claim to a percentage of the profits earned from sales or whatever. I'm not sure if this is law or not, but it has been set as precedence in most entertainment industries (film, tv, advertising, modeling, etc.) so that's as good as law as far as I know.
Conversely, most videos uploaded to YT aren't meant to make profit and are considered protected under free speech from government recourse I believe (as long as they don't violate a right or cause damage to another person). However, If the uploader is making ad revenue off the video, then she has a legitimate claim to some of that money if there wasn't a contract (aka the release). She probably could get that instance of the video pulled from YT, too.
But she has no case against the shopping center. How can she? They probably reprimanded or fired the security guards already, so what else are they obligated to do? I feel like you're just sympathetic to her plight, which is admirable, but this is really a case where reason should win over emotion, I think.
