It appears to be a de-facto requirement for these large media distributors to have automated copyright enforcement on them these days.
This would have been completely ridiculous a decade ago, but now it's all over the place, and no doubt will continue to grow. How long until it becomes a de-facto requirement for large hosting providers to have automated copyright enforcement on all outgoing streams from their data centers? How long until it becomes a de-facto requirement for ISPs to have automated copyright enforcement on all incoming streams, or GPUs to do it on content while it's playing, or...?
I'm afraid it's likely to cause negative knee-jerk reactions just bringing it up, but I have to say that The Right to Read is becoming less ridiculous all the time: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/right-to-read.html
We should all do our part by refusing to purchase any UEFI hardware. I also won't be purchasing any new Mac hardware due to their policies. I don't buy music from the major labels and I don't see many movies anymore. I've never paid a journal for access to an article, especially since Google usually has indexed a copy. I've never paid for a Kindle book, I'd only ever pay for a portable PDF.
Shamefully my day job is producing apps for OS X and iPhone, so that's depressing and hypocritical I guess. Maybe I can switch up to web apps next year.
They'll send your ISP a DMCA claim. Even if you're your own ISP, unless you're a tier 1 they can DMCA your transit provider. Now that CloudFront has transparent pricing there's no reason not to use CDN if you can afford it.
No, the DMCA/OCILLA's safe harbor for transit providers doesn't require them to honor something like a takedown notice to be eligible. Only ISPs who store material at the direction of their users, on systems controlled by the ISP, and who want to take advantage of that safe harbor, have to honor takedown notices.
DMCA only (?) applies to user submitted content, ie where you don't review everything first. And I think you can ignore DMCA takedowns if you're willing to give up safe harbour protection (which you wouldnt need in this case).
Or host your stream in a non-USA country, where you may be able to ignore the DMCA
