Cell Phone Concerts

If you're a fan of youtube, you know that people have been taking cell phone video of their favorite performers live in concert. This video is Rodney Atkins at the Oregon State Fair. I always thought that doing this sort of thing, called bootlegging, was illegal. You can find videos like this of just about every major musician by going to youtube.com and searching the artists name. It seems like it would be impossible to confiscate every fan's phone before entering the arena and the quality of the images are so poor that I doubt that anyone would not purchase a performer's CD because they have the cell phone shot.
