There's a wide range of consistency in the enforcement of the rules at different venues. In my experience, sports venues tend to be a little more lax about DSLR cameras than music venues, but it definitely depends on the team and arena. It all depends on the training they give to the security staff. |

I can't blame them for worrying about video at concerts since bootleggers will stop at nothing. But stills? Are they really losing money because I might shoot a few stills? |

A joke that was already old when I was young (I heard it around 1966 or so): Q: What do I set my Instamatic on to take a flash picture of the moon? A: Infinity. -- David J. Littleboy Tokyo, Japan When working at a local camera store in the 70's we had a lady come in who had just received a tele lens for Christmas and was befuddled about the "ƒ" mark on the lens barrel. My buddy tried to explain to the elderly patron that it was the symbol for infinity. The lady looked befuddled and asked if that was in feet or meters. Hitch tried to explain that it didn't really matter because it was simply 'infinite', to which she asked the similar question, "Is that farther than the moon?". Infinity measured in miles is approximately 1.6 times farther than infinity measured in meters. OOps, I meant kilometers. |

Yep, people pay lots and lots of money for shaky videos with really bad audio. Especially when they can get much better recordings for less, and legally too. But stills? Are they really losing money because I might shoot a few stills? Of course: people will see how bad/drugged the performers look after a few songs. That's really terrible, and doesn't match their corporate image, so we really need the death penalty. -Wolfgang |
