Yeah interesting that, I was reading it a little earlier. Not sure of the practicalities of these pouches, especially at larger venues, or if it will catch on more mainstream, but it's good to see someone take a stand, it will be interesting to hear how it pans out.
Personally, I think it's a losing battle, and people need to learn to regulate their own behaviour somewhat and learn to live in the moment.
Another worry is if it does catch on, it could backfire for people like us who like watching live material, and perhaps be far less material readily available, and as someone who enjoys watching U2 live bootlegs and all these amazing multicams like pretty much everyone here I'd imagine, it's not a good thing obviously, but neither is the sea of phones and devices. It's tricky for sure.
If these pouch things do take off or policies become stricter, and artists begin supporting them en masse, I just hope there always be those people who will sneak stuff in and film covertly.
