Law question - you take video at Riviera - who technically owns it?

[nevets88]

I'm not clear on the smartphone policy. During the 4 rounds from Thursday to Sunday, are smartphones allowed? Are you allowed to take videos during play? If so, are you the legal owner to the rights of the video or is it the PGA since you're recording the video during its event?

I'm going to call laziness on myself, should have lmgtfy for myself. For some reason, thought this was a "trick" question. So somewhere back in 2013, 2014 guessing they changed the policy as smartphones were omniscient and people controlled their phones better.

I might think if caught, with the video, and you were forced to erase the video, that might answer the question. 

Just about every tournament I have been to, taking videos, or picts we're not allowed.
