[Dixielandjazz] YouTube postings

[Jazz Jerry]

I could not disagree more with this posting. At the Norwich Jazz Party and also a classical musical festival I am involved with there is an absolute ban on any video recording by members of the audience of any of the performances for various reasons. Firstly the performance is the copyright of the musicians and only if they have all given written permission should a recording be made and secondly and probably of more importance to the rest of the audience there is noting more annoying that being at a concert and some pillock in front of you is holding a video camera or cell (mobile) phone above their heads trying to film the performers. 

That properly made video performances appear on YouTube is great but leave it to the professionals!
