There have been reports about HBO sending take downs to citizens who have
posted their own recordings of the inaugural concert. This is a relatively
interesting copyright claim as HBO would not own the rights to the
performances, whether the songs were in the public domain or not.

I wrote up a post about it:

I'd love it if someone who knows more about bootlegging / live concert
copyright could chime in.

Thanks,

F
