You aint link no 2 hour video and expect anyone to watch it
Isn't iDubbz the "Content Cop" that exposed Keemstar then reported Leafy for calling out his GF for having an OnlyFans account?
only took like 5 seasons of him watching masterchef to get hit. At least Hasan was adding commentary tho. I heard other morons were just leaving it on while they slept
P sure rich campbell was playing the lord of the rings trilogy while he slept during his subathon. Wild times.
I find it funny how sharing links/peer-based sharing methods would get you fined for illegal distribution of 0s & 1s, but streaming someone else's property on Twitch is a slap on the wrist.
Seriously. Just shows how slow the legal side is to catch up with tech. Our courts prove that every day.
Or its a matter of finances. Some random jerkoff cant afford to fight the fine/lawsuit, but Amazon (who owns Twitch) can potentially make it incredibly cost ineffective to challenge them.
Pretty sure Amazon would throw any streamer to the RIAA or whoever if they actually wanted to push litigation. Right now, copyrighted content is vociferously anti-streamer at this point in time with how easy it is for claims to be made. Not everyone takes the time to truly understand free use or transformative work law, either, but that also doesn't stop claims from being made even if properly observed.
As is, bans do seem more like a slap on the wrist for their big names while anyone on a smaller scale would be shown the door for good, and I imagine I'm not alone in believing that a problem. I'm not sure what sort of deals Twitch did strike with the RIAA relative to things last year, but a very basic level, deleting the VOD is the bare minimum requirement for more egregious violations (which nips redistribution concerns since stream viewership isn't permanent in the same sense as file sharing). Lesser offenses just seem to get partial muting if not acted upon with bans/suspensions.
That said, I do think there's more that can be done to loosen the noose around streamers, but if you're obviously going to do stupid shit like air entire programs or films, you shouldn't be surprised when the fucking around has some finding out.
Hasan's copyright strike was in mistake... somehow. MasterChef back on the menu
Here is a good summary on the situation and possible actions companies will do to Twitch and a streamers in future.
You want youtube content ID cause this how you get youtube content ID
I know this is a bit harsh, but in a schadenfreude-y way I do hope a couple people get a harsh reality check for this and implode. Play stupid games win stupid prizes, etc.
DisguisedToast allegedly is on a 30 day suspension for streaming all of Naruto and 25 of 26 episodes of Death Note. But take that with a grain of salt. He was going to visit family for Chinese New Year so it could have been a 7 day suspension and he's just fucking with everyone.
He was also p much daring for something to happen in the most stupid way possible. Don't think he has any fucks to give though and could jump to YouTube. He already got the retirement money from Facebook/Meta.
and what does xQc do when Viz sent Toast this DMCA claim? Stream more Hunter x Hunter
Naw, I completely agree. People that are set for life, like Hasan, Pokimane and others don't seem to see what fuckery this could cause to the medium and the lack of foresight or consideration on their end is what pisses me off. They're going to end up making things worse for everyone else and they don't give a shit. Not even for just twitch but it could have a cascading effect on other platforms.
