Just read this:

an infrared emitter can be located in areas where picture or video capture is prohibited, and the emitter could generate infrared signals with encoded data that includes commands to disable the recording functions of devices. An electronic device can then receive the infrared signals, decode the data and temporarily disable the device’s recording function based on the command. This implementation would be useful in concert settings...

Seems pretty pointless to me. It would stop casual "audience filming", but anyone with serious intent would just bring in another video camera.
It's still discomforting that the big corporations out there come up with these technically advanced methods trying to stop us.
