 someone suggested doing digital-signing of pictures so that the
editor (or the BBC) would know that it was an official journalist who
took the picture.  imagine a riot where the journalist takes pictures
uploaded in real-time over 3G or WIFI, then converts to taking
camcorder style, and gathers evidence of police brutality.  but
because it is in real-time the police commisioner calls up urgently to
the riot police to stop their attacks... because the pictures are
going out live in real-time.
