June 20, 201115 yr comment_39315 That's illegal. There is something similar that blocks cell service that's illegal in the US (people can buy them to block service for people on the bus or subway, for example, so they don't have to listen to people talking during their commute). Besides, I think online concert footage DOESN'T decrease interest in attending concerts. Also, lots of music festivals are now being streamed online anyway. This is really dangerous territory for Apple to tread. Report
