Justin.tv “lifecasters” are starting to get the cold shoulder when they bring their video cameras into situations that people don’t necessarily want recorded.

Sarah Meyers was recently booted out of a book reading in New York. Less surprisingly, another Justin.TV lifecaster, Ronald Lewis, was told he couldn’t record a movie at a theater and had to put his video camera away before the movie started. He wasn’t kicked out, but that didn’t stop him from calling the confused but polite manager as a “fucking bitch” as he walked away. The video clip is above, and his blog post on the incident is here.
