I expect Apple to use the blocking patent to fight anyone who tries to implement a similar solution: it makes more sense than telling their customer what to do — although Apple has always preferred to exert control to protect quality, and those grainy videos and having their devices be treated as obstacles is very much not on-brand. Using the information one to let users know where to find the professionally recorded live-feed (and possible reconstruction of any given spectator’s point of view) sounds like a better option.
