I realize you are all upset and good judgement should prevail in public discourse.
I don't want to say anything that I will regret later.
from this could be great benefit. (Was there some implicit permissions given by VCFed to IA to allow these things, and nobody noticed, sort of a "you can use the space, but everything here is subject to use by us for various activities"?)
IA has the right to open our room, turn the lights on, and show people artifacts. Nobody other than us is allowed to TOUCH artifacts.
That said, and while I think the music group (I assume that is what they are)
Nothing to do with music. They were filming some kind of movie.
it might be that IA resources told them they could do those things (unlikely, but so is this entire event, and here you are). Thus, those comments might be best to share in private until all can certify the truth.
I wasn't there and so I do not know what was said between IA and the film people. However, the film people posted on FB just now: "The cast and crew would like to express our gratitude to the The InfoAge Science History Learning Center and Museum and Fred Carl for allowing us into their facility to film several poignant scenes. Thank you for allowing us free reign in our set decorations and touching the buttons (the highlight of the cast's day!)" "Touching the buttons" concerns me. Those buttons are not IA's to allow anyone to touch. And what of the photo posted by the film people of their own people leaning on the Univac, including one photo of their people with a FOOT on the Univac? What of their photo showing a film prop abutting our analog computers? There is no such permission allowed in our lease. IA is allowed to open the room, turn on the lights, and let people walk around inside. That's it. I feel comfortable saying all that here because our lease is a matter of public record with Wall Township.
