"We have seen and covered a great many ridiculous copyright issues here at
Techdirt. It is, after all, sort of our thing. Still, some attempts at
enforcing copyrights are so ludicrous that they take your breath away. Now,
granted, often times the most egregious of these stories arise out of the use
of automated bot systems that troll all the places for copyright infringement
and often times get it completely wrong. But that isn't so much an excuse for
those situations as it is a spotlight on how brutally terrible the current
iteration of copyright enforcement has become and how despicable it is that the
wider copyright industries just shrug their shoulders at all the collateral
damage they cause.
And then there's the moon. I know, I know, you're thinking, "The moon? Is
Timothy having another stroke while writing a post?" First off, my personal
health is none of your concern. And secondly, nope, because a video recording
of the moon as seen from Greece, which included no audio, was blocked all over
the place due to a copyright claim made by Universal Music Group."
