Actually this is legal (last I checked I could be wrong or a little off on that, I will look deeper into that later) recording concerts, movies, sports games, ect. are all totally illegal. There for this is preventing anything such as that from happening on their product.Guild McCommunist said:Never really saw the appeal in watching some low quality amateur video of a live concert on Youtube. I'd rather just wait for the professional footage (if there is any) to be released or listen to the live soundtrack.
It's still a complete dick move that probably violates some type of rights but hey, it doesn't affect me.

It's pretty much the same as an AP on roms.
I don't think that really counts. This is about recording something like Green Day for example, even if you are or are not distributing it, that is still against copyright laws and is illegal. This is Apple enforcing a real law here.ShadowSoldier said:So say for example, I'm a father. My kid is at elementary school on stage about to do some stupid play about Santa Clause. I don't have a video recorder except my iPhone, which already records HD video. Does that mean I'm not allowed to record my son's play?
This is just stupid, this is going to do nothing but piss off a lot of people. People have a right to record little snippets of concerts that they attend to just keep for memory sake.
From what I am guessing this works on a similar scale as wifi and most likely would be up to the place holding the concert to turn the feature on or off. That's saying if this goes through.Pingouin7 said:Except, what if some people decide that it's okay for you to record their concerts?
Wouldn't work then.

Recording your kid's play which lacks any kinda copyright protection isn't even close to being what this is about.
I'm just pointing out a simple fact that it is a real law, although I am not clear on Copyright laws of Canada, so I could be wrong when it comes down to Canadian law.ShadowSoldier said:A Gay Little Catboy said:I don't think that really counts.

And how exactly are they supposed to stop people from recording it or taking pictures? They can't.
Hell, come to Canada and at every concert or sporting event or something like that, people are taking pictures, recording videos of history making moments and everything. Nobody does anything.
If people upload a full video or something to youtube, that's youtube's job to get rid of it. This is just stupidity on Apple's part. Not to mention it's a stupid ass law (if it even is one).
