I'm Ok with this....Why? Because it means less shitty videos of concerts on the web. The audio quality from iPhone Concert videos is HORRIBLE! I for one don't mind it. If your going to record a concert you should at least have a decent Mic so you can actually listen to it again later without bleeding from your ears.

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.

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.
It's pretty much the same as an AP on roms.

I was going to point out that recording concerts is illegal anyways. Seems that you beat me to it.

Apple isn't violating your rights or anything like that people. They are enforcing the law. You know, provided they go through with this.

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.

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.
Recording your kid's play which lacks any kinda copyright protection isn't even close to being what this is about.

Except, what if some people decide that it's okay for you to record their concerts?
Wouldn't work then.

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.

Sounds about right. It isn't like every stage in the world is going to be suddenly outfitted with special IR lights. For example, your kid's play at school won't have those sensors on the stage unless the school cares a hell of a lot.

Regardless, if you have the okay to record, or want to record, why use an iPhone? As a whole, even if they record in HD, the quality is pretty terrible. In the end, it is just another sub-par cellphone camera.

I tried recording a concert with an iphone once and to say it sucked was an understatement. I think apple's flattering themselves when they think people would record everything with their device. Even though I don't record concerts, ideas like these are what makes me jailbreak any kind of apple device I buy right when I get home, before I even fully charge it.

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).

 

[stanleyopar2000]

just another way to flex their muscles on the poor sheeple

who the hell is going to watch / listen a crappy recording?!

its more like "you COULD have the options to do that" "too bad ..WE WON'T LET YOU. tough shit"


I gave up on Apple products after apple forcefully and purposely made my iDevice "obsolete" (hacked install0us apps worked that iTunes claimed "wasn't supported" on my device and refused to sync them) in a year and a half.

 

[nando]

actually this would be very good in public restrooms and locker rooms. i'm always weary

 

[Zerousen]

I don't even use my iPhone's camera all that often, let alone it's video mode.

 

[iluvfupaburgers]

and then a jailbreak tweak is made to stop this feature

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.
But here in the US, recording movies (I am not talking about home videos, I am talking about Hollywood movies), sports games, concerts, ect. Are against copyright laws and I can't blame Apple for not wanting their product to be used to violate them.
