CBS and Paramount have retreated from copyright enforcement efforts aimed at restricting the spread of Stephen Colbert’s guest stint on a Michigan cable access program. The former “Late Show” host wrapped up his final episode on Friday.
Following his departure from his hosting duties at “The Late Show,” Colbert made an appearance on a local cable access program in Monroe, Michigan. The appearance quickly gained widespread attention online.
The media companies had initially moved to challenge the distribution of content featuring Colbert’s cable access show appearance on copyright grounds, but have since stepped back from those legal efforts.
