Girls Gone Wild Can Strip You Without Your Consent
In 2005 a woman goes to a bar, planning to drink and party. Turns out the "Girls Gone Wild" video team is there. Signs are posted. However, she refuses to sign the consent form. If there is a more clear way to signal "I do not consent" than refusing to sign a consent form, I can't think of it.
As she's dancing, the video camera is moving through the crowd. As she turns away from the camera, a hand reaches out from behind it and pulls off her shirt.

She says "No no no no," pulls it back up, and turns away. Again - that's a pretty clear sign of not giving consent. Saying "no" and putting your top back on.
But somehow she ends up on the Girls Gone Wild tape anyway. And when she sues? The jury finds in favor of Girls Gone Wild.
