Apple strips clips of WWDC devs booing that $999 monitor stand from the web using copyright claims. Fear not, you can listen again here...

Re: common, fanbois!

No, the copyright claim is very true. Apple can validly say it was within its rights: it graciously permits fans to post footage from WWDC containing copyrighted Apple material, but it withdraws this permission in cases of use by competitors in their ads, or destructive criticism. So the issue isn't a false copyright claim, only the use of the copyright law in a manner which won't help Apple's image.
