This article worried me particularly. I have friends who usher in NY theatres, and I know that the thing that keeps them busiest during shows is stopping people with cameras from taking pictures or video during shows. It just isn't fair, because everyone in the audience has paid to have this live experience done for them, and in addition to it being unfair to the performers and stagehands who have worked so hard, the quality one is going to get on a bootleg just doesn't match up to the real thing. But, as Davenport says, what happens when the technology begins to outrun the enforcement in charge of stopping it? Will we need to require people to check their bags at the door? Search them for recording devices? That's going to get hard when something as normal-looking as a phone or a Google Glass is advanced enough to get decent quality audio or video of a live show. Interested to see Broadway's next move down the line.
