Ah if you’re suggesting that people be required to drop their cell phones in a basket before they enter the theater, that would be the death of theater. It would be over. No one would attend. The audiences would be zero.

The intellectual property aspect was mentioned in this NPR broadcast. Recording an entire performance is not legal. Probably recording bits and segments is OK.
