CBS Halts Copyright Takedowns After Colbert’s Monroe Surprise

CBS paused further enforcement of copyright takedown notices after backlash over its action against Stephen Colbert’s surprise appearance on Only in Monroe, a CBS Studios–financed episode later posted on Colbert’s YouTube channel; CBS said the notices are standard practice but would be waived for this episode during a review. The Late Show ended May 21, and Comics Unleashed will take over the 11:35 p.m. slot, as Colbert pursues future projects including a Tolkien-inspired film.
