There are no other options, including "make your own" since these streaming sites rely on cloud hosting (which would be subject to the same DMCA's) and advertising revenue (which won't advertise on infringing material)Ī) The recording industry get's it's head out of it's butt and have Twitch licensed in the same way youtube and facebook are licensed for things like karaoke, covers and video games as long as the streamer has selected the game correctly.ī) Twitch/Amazon releases a plugin for OBS that integrates Amazon Music (Prime) on a "non-baked audio channel" that can be cut from the VOD unless the person watching the VOD has a Amazon (or other software) that has the music played at that cue point.
This shouldn't have happened."ĭespite the statement, Twitch has yet to provide concrete solutions for the ongoing problem, and the platform has yet to address the issue of in-game audio triggering the DMCA process (besides a suggestion to mute in-game audio.) To all the creators who lost their community's best moments, we're sorry.
We should have developed more sophisticated and user-friendly tools long ago. Things can - and should - be better for creators than they have been recently. Twitch recently posted a long statement in response to the controversy, writing: "Your frustration and confusion with recent music-related copyright issues is completely justified. Even while complying with copyright law to the absolute letter, each stream is different, and each act of protest feels wholly unique. When players are forced to play in dead silence, people still tune in and watch. Polygon argues it's "alarming that these are the lengths players are going to in order to try and protest Twitch's policy." But they also applauded the creativity of the protesters It's a surprising look at the transformative nature of streaming. Watching Rocksmith players grunt or silently nod along to songs nobody can hear highlights the problem while still entertaining their viewers, as does hearing them improvise their own the sound effects for games like Resident Evil 2. In response, streamers have been protesting by playing games with the sound off completely to highlight the absurdity of the situation, some using the hashtag #DMCAsoundoff.

These claims can be contested, but it's still frustrating for those affected by content ID software that can't tell the difference between copyrighted audio and the noise of a grandfather clock chiming in a horror game. Meanwhile, some streamers have had videos muted due to sound effects, with claims coming via automated content recognition software Audible Magic. The recommendation offered to streamers was to play games with the music muted, which obviously isn't great advice when it comes to rhythm games, or games that don't have the option to mute music separately from other audio. Twitch eventually explained that the number of DMCA notifications it receives from major record labels has surged, going from "fewer than 50" each year to "thousands" beginning in May. Since October, Twitch has been deleting significant quantities of videos over copyright claims, leaving the affected streamers with no way to respond or issue counter-claims. Wednesday Twitch warned its users to delete any videos containing copyrighted music.
