In US, if that was a private event, his request is legally binding.

Unless they signed NDAs to get into the room with him, it's not. You're welcome to share the legal code, or a court case that proves me wrong though.

Unless you agreed to the terms before buying your ticket, no, it isn't legally binding.

I may have been wrong in that RMS does not have that power, but the property owner does. Not sure if this is a universal rule or not.

I think the only legal recourse the property owner has is to kick you out.

What if entering that room was free as in beer?

How would this work in practice if it was litigated? Wouldn't you need proof that this was expressly communicated to the specific individual that violated and that they did so knowingly? Seems like it probably isn't enforceable...

In this case I think it might be, because if the event was recorded presumably so was the request to not share.
