Blizzcon and audio recorders.

Since Blizzard is apparently laying down the ban hammer on camera's during Blizzcon, and we're assuming that they catch every person taking pictures and video of things they're not supposed to....
to what extent are camera's not allowed at Blizzcon?

- WIll we still be able to watch people's videos of panels, and the main stage?
- What exactly is the limit on cameras (where can and can't you take them)?
All I can think of is taking pictures and videos of the demo game play.

If the camera deal goes beyond this and nothing is allowed, would audio recorders be?

Edit
I'd really be dismayed if Blizzcon turned into this locked down prison of Blizzard info, and the only way to see it is through DirectTV or actually going there. But I realize that there has to be some degree of security on things that are exclusive, like the demo plays.

The restrictions, as I understand them, are based on streaming video of the panels. You can record video as you see fit, however, streaming video is restricted to five minutes or less of uninterrupted panel footage. Meaning you can stream up to five minutes of a panel before needing to cut over to something that is not panel footage.

If you're really interested in this type of streaming the press room at the event will have all of the necessary information on recording restrictions to make sure you're following the rules.

If you just want to record panels with your handycam to take home and maybe play for your friends or something, I don't believe there is any restriction.

There's no recording or pictures allowed in any amount of the live playable demos.
