Let us report full length movie streams
Twitch is completely broken when it comes to copyright. We already know this with the DMCA issues users have been having, playing in game music designed for the game and still getting a strike. But there's a complete other end of the spectrum... Full length movies, TV show marathons, UFC events, WWE Pay-Per-Views.
As viewers we don't have any way of reporting this stuff to Twitch, if we try to report a channel for using copywritten content Twitch then asks us if we are the copyright holder and we should submit our own DMCA claims. Problem being we're not the copyright holder, we just don't want directories to be flooded with TOS breaking stuff.
I suggest a feature in the reporting channel section that states that they are streaming a Fast and Furious marathon for example at which point a request is sent for a member of Twitch staff to come and examine the page to see if said movie marathon is happening and apply a ban if true.
I was just looking through directories and a listing called "The Movies" exists which is a Sims like game about being a movie director. I look to see who's on and everyone is pirating films. This shouldn't be allowed and as users we should have better tools for reporting channels that exploit the system.
A quick edit: I mean channels that are just redistributing movies without permission, not the Prime Watch Parties.

The fact that only the holders of the material can report... Got to change that. When people are streaming entire shows that are owned by programs and such... while they sleep. No no no Twitch, bad.

I agree it’s extremely frustrating when you work your rear off to produce a good stream and someone plays a movie and just sits there.

I recently acquired a collection of classic movie posters, and I must say that they perfectly capture the ambiance of cinema's golden period. These old movie posters are a charming reminder of a period when originality and design were often disregarded in cinema promotion. Each poster at https://www.cvtreasures.com tells a unique story, evokes memories, and transports us to a time when going to the movies was a special affair.
