Intellectual Property Rights Vs. Human Rights

Just as I was feeling good about humanity, I visit the CBC Streaming Audio page only to see this message:

Due to rights issues around the Live 8 concert, CBC.ca will stop streaming all CBC Radio One signals at 1 p.m. ET on Saturday, July 2. The streaming will resume sometime after 4 a.m. ET on Sunday July 3.

Rights issues for a human rights concert!? Come on.
