Any streamer becomes incompetent once takedown notices start arriving. Competent streamer becomes economically infeasible. Every time you hear a song on the radio you should remember: this was brought to you by people who also happily destroy everything good in this world, everything worthy.

We're not talking about a high school football game here. Ustream must have known that they were carrying the Tony's, and should have had a human in the loop.

  In my experiences, manual backoffice that lets a human in a loop is rarely implemented (at all), rarely works and is frequently broken. This is because the development process stimulates features and automation and such a backoffice has to touch every system while bypassing many checks. It's a perrenial pain in the ass. So I expect a lot of companies and processes to lack "Plan B" entirely.

    Ustream would probably have at least one "special" stream up at any given time, so that code would get enough traffic to prevent it from rotting.

there are lots of good things on the radio that aren't related to the DRM-heavy corporate world, and always will be as long as I can help it. not every artist bows to the RIAA, just all of the ones you've been exposed to through their influence machine. if it's the case for you that every time you hear a song on the radio you are reminded of the excesses of the intellectual property patrol, I humbly suggest changing the channel to your local non-commercial station. perhaps you'll hear something you like.

  This might be true, I merely stated the default. (Not everywhere in the world you can find something sufficiently independent, but you are guaranteed to find "intellectual property" there)
