Filming a Live Performance is Sabotage
The fundamental heart of a live performance is interaction with the audience. Energy is shared between performer(s) and audience, creating something more profound than the performance by itself. Filming a live performance is cutting out this heart in order to manufacture a vapid facsimile. The filmer is a combatant, willfully cutting out the heart of the performance in order to create a lifeless commodity.
