<description><![CDATA[ This is becoming a regular thing.  While some insist that copyright isn't <a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120917/00222620398/anyone-who-says-copyright-cannot-be-used-censorship-has-no-credibility.shtml">limiting free speech</a>, there has recently been a string of situations involving official livestreams being taken down due to copyright bots.  There was the <a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120903/18505820259/copyright-enforcement-bots-seek-destroy-hugo-awards.shtml">Hugo Awards livestream</a> and the <a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120904/22172920275/copyright-killbots-strike-again-official-dnc-livestream-taken-down-just-about-every-copyright-holder.shtml">DNC livestream</a>... and now it appears that Salesforce's big event, Dreamforce, <a href="http://twitter.yfrog.com/z/esz8osp" target="_blank">is having the same issue.</a>  Brian Walsh <a href="https://twitter.com/thepartycow/statuses/248489293776044033" target="_blank">sent over</a> the following image as he tried to watch the official live stream:

Yup.  That's the official stream (via Facebook), blocked due to "content restrictions."   Guilty until proven innocent... and by then it's too late.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120919/12130720433/dreamforce-official-livestream-shut-down-content-bots.shtml">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120919/12130720433/dreamforce-official-livestream-shut-down-content-bots.shtml#comments">Comments</a> | <a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120919/12130720433/dreamforce-official-livestream-shut-down-content-bots.shtml?op=sharethis">Email This Story</a><br />
