How copyright enforcement robots killed the Hugo Awards

   "Last night, robots shut down the live broadcast of one of science
    fiction's most prestigious award ceremonies. No, you're not reading a
    science fiction story. In the middle of the annual Hugo Awards event,
    which thousands of people tuned into via video streaming service
    UStream, the feed cut off."

Solutions are not trivial.
