YouTube Kills Livestream Of Convention When Audience Starts Singing ‘Happy Birthday’ (via Techdirt)
Nothing kills an event hosted by YouTube (and other streaming services) quicker than a spontaneous rendition of the song everyone sings when it’s someone’s birthday, but yet somehow “belongs” solely to Warner Music. Granted, this didn’t actually kill…
You mean if somebody is blasting the birthday song over a talking event, that event will be nixed by you Tube? If many people started singing the birthday song over a political speech by a presidential candidate then the content of that speech would be withheld by you tube because in the background one can clearly hear the birthday song? That could be useful.
