Note that in the US, where the debian archives are located, this is
not actually true. You can't prevent people from recording it (since
recording in a public space is legal), but your expression is
copyrighted, and you have not published it by yelling it. So if they
try to distribute it to their friends, you could prosecute them for
copyright infringement.
