DMCA Claims Are Messing Up IRL Streams

Twitch has been under attack for weeks with many streamers finally succumbing to DMCA take-offs, culminating in network suspensions. Today things are so crazy that even IRL streams are being destroyed because gamers are scared to transmit.

Twitch pointed out that the latest DMCA conflict started when DMCA alerts from lobbyists for major record labels spammed the site.

Although Twitch urged streamers to avoid playing authorized music while streaming, they also went so far as to recommend muting music when entertainment is being performed.

We are all hoping that Twitch will resolve these problems soon and hammer out some form of compromise so that IRL streams can go back to the way things were before the DMCA insanity.
