TL;DR Summary
CBS-Unauthorised takedown notices on bootleg uploads of Stephen Colbert’s Monroe public-access episode were waived “for now” after outcry. The episode was financed by CBS Studios, features Jack White’s music and a Jeff Daniels appearance, and is protected by The Late Show’s copyright. Official copies are available on Colbert’s YouTube channel and Monroe Community Media, with wider clips circulating elsewhere, but CBS indicated it would pause enforcement while reviewing the situation.
