pretty sad that UStream tries to place the blame on the copyright scanning solution from Vobile. Vobile worked perfectly...it just wasn't implemented or controlled properly by UStream.

maybe Vobile is a 100% hosted solution for them, which might give them less control...but i doubt the product doesn't include simple exceptions for "ignore feed" options and such. dumb.

Quoted from the update to the article:
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.
It does support a way to white-list broadcasts, but only on the paid Pro Broadcasting service. So does that mean if you paid for the Pro, you could stream all the illegal movies you want? Huzzah.
