Get your ninja on!
As we all know, there are a few "restrictions" for taking videos and pictures at Blizzcon. According to Bashiok, "there's no recording or pictures allowed in any amount of the live playable demos." But do we dare to dream? Put on your invisible cloak, kill a predator or two, and steal their stuff or become a ninja! Of course, these days the only ninjas available come from the Office Ninja Corporation. So for any of our Diablofans rocking in the cubicles, get to work training!
The choice is yours, and there are even more options! What about going to Blizzcon disguised as his infernal majesty himself - Diablo! Now, who in the hell can tell Diablo to stop filming or taking pictures? Hell, that's the VIP of VIPS, right thur! What about his brothers? Surely the security guards won't mess with the Prime Evils; they play the games and they know they'll burn forever in the fiery pits of HELL! Then we've got Deckard Cain and his beloved unicorn: would anyone really argue with that? HELL NO! If anyone becomes suspicious, just ramble at them, they'll get bored after several hours of your stories. Just keep a Camera in that epic Deckard-Beard of yours.
D-fans assemble! We must steal the demo for ourselves! As well as anything and everything of value that isn't nailed to the floor, but that may take some doing. For now, we'll focus on the demo, and get to the staplers and desks tomorrow, ok?
BREAK!!!
Hope you all had much fun reading this and I wish you a happy Gamescom and Blizzcon experience! To all of us who can't go to Blizzcon I hope there really are some ninja guys taking footage so we can watch it sometime later on the internetz

I will bring my hidden camera and get the most footage of demo play as possible. If we're waiting for a long release date, this footage may hold us over until then.

You had 4 smileys and you barely got over one line. Haha nice.
But in all seriousness, I think Blizzard has thought of every detail on how to not get the CD stolen. Chances are, nothing will happen. Also everyone will want to play the demo so bad they won't risk getting kicked out.
You are actually allowed to take pictures and even video of any of the press releases as well as panels as long as it is not streaming. The only thing you are not allowed to do is take pictures or video of the demo.
Official Blizzard Quote:
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.

Well get an extra ninja to distract jay wilson. Hopefully he is trained enough to handle him for the amount of time that is needed.

If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this
Christmas thing last
By helping a neighbor
Or even a stranger
And to know who needs help
You need only just ask
