Rejected petition Stop people using phones / Ipods / Ect to record at live shows.

I attend festivals and gigs on a regular basis and all I see in the air are phones, or even Ipods and tablets from people recording the gig!. If you pay to see a band or show you should be able to see it. Live recording should be left to professionals only.

More details

It's hard enough to see a live gig for anyone standing. Even worse at festivals. All I see are phones in the air. Even worse Ipods and Tablets. Why?. We pay to see the show and experience it live!. Most shows are recorded by professionals, there is no need for some youtube jockey recording for a few hits. I wrecks the views and diminishes the experience of being there when it is inevitably put online. Ban it. Let the gig be just that, the band playing to the crowd who are there.
