big concert promoters could point to all the flickr pages with pics of their shows from iphones and threaten to sue apple unless apple implements a means to disable taking pics at a concert. this is very similar to the code that allows DVRs to shut off analogue outputs when playing new release movies (Selectable Output Control) * i don't agree with either of these.

How's threatening to sue the makers of hardware used to commit a crime working out for victims of gun crime?

Phones don't record gigs, people do.
