They use bots to detect copyrighted material and automatically shut off streams that are in "violation." The trouble is, the bots have no concept of having permission to stream copyrighted material. The Hugo Awards at this year's World Science Fiction Convention were cut off in mid-broadcast because of this. UStream apologized afterwards, but the damage was done. http://prometheus-unbound.org/2012/09/03/news-copyright-ruined-the-hugo-awards-livestream/ -- Gary McGath, Professional Software Developer
