Recently read about a company (ESL) that hosts DOTA2 tournaments issuing DMCA takedown requests for content they don't own (DOTA TV which they use to broadcast their matches is owned by Valve and the content shown is technically Valve's content.) ESL has also threatened lawsuits against anyone who would stream their tournament matches (again even though they don't own the content) as they have an "exclusive" deal with Facebook to stream the matches there.
Valve came in and said, "Hey this is our content and our game you have no legal authority to issue DMCA takedown requests in our name." Apparently Valve is also considering suing ESL (I doubt they will) for defamation.
The copyright of live streaming content is interesting. I don't find watching DOTA enjoyable but reading this whole thing was fascinating. It's on reddit in the DOTA2 subreddit on a number of posts.
