This time, the automated copyright cubicle gestapo took down the Democratic Convention live stream, despite the fact that everything was appropriately licensed:

Here we go again. Less than 24 hours ago, content-protection bots killed a livestream of the Hugo Awards, thanks to the brief appearance of fully approved clips from an episode of Dr. Who. The whole situation was completely absurd to anyone harboring the tiniest vestige of common sense, but IP-protection software isn’t built on common sense: it’s built on algorithms.

This time, content protection via crawling bots have taken down another approved, perfectly legal stream. The victim this time? The Democratic National Convention’s official stream, hosted at YouTube. ………

Un-dirtyword-believable.

We really need some sanity here.
