1. A method for fingerprinting live events comprising: generating, by a signal generation component, a first signal for an event occurring at a physical venue, wherein the first signal is to be used as a fingerprint for identifying live recordings of the event, wherein the first signal is to be overlaid, by an output component located at the physical venue, onto the physical venue during a portion of the event, and wherein a recording device capturing the portion of the event, at the physical venue and at a time of the portion of the event, captures the first signal with the portion of the event; creating, by a correlation component operably coupled to the signal generation component, a first mapping that associates the first signal with an identifier that identifies the event; storing, by the correlation component, the first mapping in a database; receiving, by the output component from the signal generation component, the first signal; and overlaying, by the output component, the first signal onto the physical venue instantaneously with the portion of the event and at a time that the recording device is capturing a recording of the portion of the event, wherein the recording device captures the first signal in the recording of the portion of the event; receiving, from a submitter, the recording of the portion of the event; and in response to detecting, by a matching component, that the recording of the portion of the event includes the first signal, retrieving, by an action component and for the recording of the portion of the event, a digital rights management policy.
