Alicia Keys bans cell phones and concerts THIS IS CRAZY

This solution is tantamount to movie studios and cable companies trying to sue everyone that pirates media. It won't scale and it's a backwards solution rooted in denial about the reality of a changed world. Now we see these same companies finally turning around and embracing streaming as a medium, adapting.

Artists don't need to find a way to lock people's phones in a bag, they need to find a way to adapt to a changed environment.

Whilst greatly diluting the actual real-life experience of that moment not only for themselves, but for everyone else who paid $200 a pop for their front-row seats, also.

EDIT: "And not to mention, for the performer also."

How about the comedians that use live audiences to fine-tune their act? Is leaking all of the jokes to YouTube a promotion for the artist, or a complete gutting of the potential audience for future shows?
