Concert photography is under threat

One of the things thats making life increasingly awkward for concert
photographers are the silly rules being imposed upon us. I don't mind so
much being limited to a finite number of songs per gig, so long as its
reasonable but now there are cases where we are only allowed one song or
heaven forbid, the first 30 seconds of the first song!

This draconian attitude must stop otherwise photographers, agencies and the
rest of the media will no longer cover the events and consequently the music
industry will suffer.

I think its awfully sad the way things are going and personally, I will have
to draw the line at some point and turn my back on something that above all
I enjoy (or maybe used to enjoy depending on the mood I am in).
