I’m
mad and frustrated
Worldcon Hugo Awards livecast banned for using material they had authorization to use!
You just banned Worldcon for showing video clips of Hugo award nominees THAT WERE PROVIDED BY THE PRODUCERS FOR THIS AWARD SHOW! I am NOT HAPPY and will NOT be using your service again unless this is resolved RIGHT NOW!

1I hear you. I didn't get to see Ursula Vernon's acceptance speech. It's frustrating that their system is so terrible. Something this big should have to be reviewed by a human before it's interrupted. If Ustream can't do that, then they either need to move to a model that will, or my group will just not use them.Comment -

1quote from the ustream.tv official blog:
As background, our system works like this in order to support a large volume of broadcasters using our free platform. Users of our paid, ad-free Pro Broadcasting service are automatically white listed to avoid situations like this and receive hands-on client support.
/quote
translation: since WorldCon was not white-listed that means they decided to stream the live event without signing and paying for a dedicated contract with the broadcaster and as a result were applied the regular copyright filter that regular anonymous broadcasters were subjected to.-
Hey, Ustream: if your "system works like" what you describe above, IT DOESN'T WORK!
