  the Twitch DMCA bloodbath has begun, as hundreds of partnered streamers have received emails from Twitch as DMCA takedown notifications https://twitter.com/...

• @devinnash Devin on x

  It is INSANE that @Twitch informs partners they deleted their content - and that there is more content in violation despite having NO identification system to find out what it is. Their solution to DMCA is for creators to delete their life's work. This is pure, gross negligence. …

  Game devs, take a really close look at the music rights for your games to prevent more of this in the future. https://twitter.com/...

  I think the bigger question now is...who didn't receive a warning today that is a consistent streamer? https://twitter.com/...

  I just got this same damn email -_-. I really wish @Twitch would tell me what / when / where it was. I honestly think this is just an automated warning going out at this point but this is wild. Give us more information! https://twitter.com/...

  As the owner of StreamBeats, anything I say will sound biased.. and that's fair. But as a streamer, you should take a look at this and at least ask the question, “how much trust do I really want to put into Twitch's word that Soundtrack is 100% safe?” https://twitter.com/...

  whats weird is we actually want people to play our music on twitch. it gets muted on our own streams sometimes lol https://twitter.com/...

  I've read a lot of these kinds of emails and this one is, uh, remarkable https://twitter.com/...

  Twitch streamers are worrying about DMCA right now so I would like to offer some good news. All of The Gentle Men boner jams are cleared by twitch so you can safely play them on repeat during streams. Hopefully we can be the only music you ever hear during streams

  “We recognize that by deleting this content, we are not giving you the option to file a counter-notification or seek a retraction from the rights holder.” @Twitch acknowledging here that it's ignoring users' counter-claim rights under DMCA's takedown-and-notice procedure. https:/…

  Email Outbox From: Twitch To: Literally every streamer Subject: DMCA Warning Hi, literally every single one of you have gotten a DMCA claim. We can not provide which Vod/Clip/Highlight/Broadcast/ Any Form Of Media that triggered this. Good Luck! Have a good day, - Twitch

  “we deleted all of your content because an algorithm found part of a song. maybe by mistake. but your videos are gone now. you're welcome for the chance to learn about copyright law :)” https://twitter.com/...

• @ellohimetwitch Ellohime on x

  Count me among those that received a DMCA strike today. Sadly, the only safe answer seems to be ‘delete ALL old content’. People who scrubbed their vods previous to this wave of strikes didnt avoid it. In-game music going forward is going to be a real issue. Help us @Twitch https…

  I seriously don't understand why Twitch is so unable to provide documented reasoning as to what rules you break when you break them. There is a giant throughline for years now of people not knowing why they are suspended, hit with a warning, and now what content is DMCA'd.

  Twitch streamers are, once again, dealing with this. YouTubers have also dealt with it for years. It remains one of the biggest contention points between creators and YouTube. @bijanstephen with the story on Twitch today: https://twitter.com/...
