I believe the answer is "don't record at a concert because it annoys everyone else and the video is garbage anyway".

That'd be an amazing quip among this video. You start the video of 'how to shot with iPhone at a concert" and it just says "don't. Enjoy the show"

  Weren't Apple researching techniques to disable recording during certain events?

    I sure hope not. That sounds sketchy.

    They appear to have patented a method that's based on infrared emitters installed in the venue. See page 7: http://pdfpiw.uspto.gov/.piw?PageNum=0&docid=09380225 http://pdfpiw.uspto.gov/.piw?PageNum=0&docid=09380225 - that seems to be only the drawings, not the full filing, but it's patent #9380225 if you want the full detail. I'm not surprised that they have not implemented this. It would take about five minutes for someone to reverse-engineer one of the beamers, and then about five more for someone else to turn it into something you could hang off your keyring to mess with people, and about thirty seconds after that to produce a huge consumer backlash.

    Yep, but would you ever buy a device with such a feature, even though you hate compulsive smartographers at concerts?

I wish that bands would just film every concert they do and then offer all the concerts for (paid) download. This way a lot less people would actually try to film the concert because they now can get a much better quality.

  > This way a lot less people would actually try to film the concert Youtube is already full of good quality concert videos free of charge. People still film concerts. I don't know how to 'fix' this.

    But I don't wanna see _a_ concert, I wanna see _my_ concert, e.g. the one I actually visited.

      You could always put the phone away and actually watch the concert live, right?

      have you ever, ever watched back a concert you've recorded ?

  Phish does something similar to this, but only with audio. When you buy a ticket it gets you access to download the MP3s from the website.

even worse is the people recording with their phone to the side of their head, so they still get a perfect view, and you're stuck watching the bloody screen
