Furthermore, what sort of legalities will transpire from this? Does the buyer own the rights to what Microsoft is filming, or would they be able to hand over anything criminal to the authorities. What about threats towards others, and the like? I don't know if this is even possible, but it has to be if the Kinect is going to be online every minute of the day when its connected.
What are you talking about? The Kinect doesn't "film" or "record" anything unless you ask it to and you can turn the Kinect off if you want to.
