Apple camera patent will stop Smartphone pirates dead in their tracks

Apple inc. filed a patent yesterday, that they could actually potentially use. Pairing an infrared sensor with the camera already on board, portable devices could receive data from transmitters placed on strategic locations at copyright events.

These transmitters would prevent the camera from recording and would instead show, watermarks, blank screen and even warning messages to the smartphone user.
