More people are recording concerts despite event organisers reiterating not to do so. This was reported in The Sunday Times (29 Mar 09). Organisers said that it's hard to enforce the policy especially, when mobile phones and cameras are high-tech these days. I agree with the organisers because, you can almost do anything with the latest devices especially when they are getting smaller in size and bigger/more advance in specs. It is definitely hard to control over these issues. The article said that within hours after a concert, the videos get uploaded on You Tube. If is was the case, why would someone pay $100 over bucks to watch a concert? Downloading songs are also readily available at just one click on your computers. Mostly teenagers download songs from the internet to plug in to their MP3 players. Despite music producers stressing not to download songs but buy the original CD instead, there are many people who still continue to do so. A minority may still abide by these rules, but it is a very small percentage. How can we protect copyright issues and online privacy? This has been a prolonging issue which organisers have minimum control on.
