Currently, only the owner of the work or the agency on behalf of the rights holder can submit a DCMA claim on a stream or a VOD.

However, as a viewer of a few channels, it's clear that some streamers are actively streaming music and video from services like YouTube and Spotify on a regular basis. Attempting to report these streamers links to pages with information with how to report, but "only if it's my work that's being infringed"

One such user was so blasé about their infringement that they openly claimed on stream that "it doesn't matter about DMCA because Twitch will just mute that portion of the VOD". Of course, no DMCA strikes have been issued on that channel (well, none they have publicly mentioned, and because of the fact that they still regularly stream copyrighted material)

I propose a website and rule change such that any channel viewer can flag a stream or VOD for review where the streamer is using copyrighted material.

Granted, this can be abused and so perhaps, if there are too many claims from a single user where the claim was reported falsely, then some penalty can be issued to the reporting user but only in false claims. Reporting users should have the ability to comment or appeal claims they have made with supporting evidence, for example, the ability to point to a timestamp where it's blatantly obvious that copyright infringement is occurring.

Why not get together with the Msuic and Movie copyright managment companies ans such, so that you can work out an agreement that allows copyright owners to be paid, and Twitch isns't being sued and spending tons in that effort.

This would pave the way for people to be able to use music, and show things without violation of copyrights. At no time should broadcasters/streamers be given any of that revenue. Why? Simple, the content is not owned by them.

If you can have systems monitor for violations, just set them to place links within the video, and in the descripotion of the video as well. These would link to say AMAZON legit places to buy the content being used.

In effect instead of it being a negative, use the fact people like the content enough listen to it ir show it as free advertisment for the links that allow others whom may be hearing or seeing something for the first time.

I get this will be a huge undertaking, and that copyrights are very complex in many cases. However, what is less complex is the fact you can turn a chash poor situation into a very profitable one, and provide another benefit/feature for people to broadcast and chillax on Twitch.

Let the companies whom wish to profit off of the userbase here cover these expenses.

AbiliTV on Twitch

My VODs keep getting muted for no reasone because, guess what? VOY QUE QUEMO IS NEVER IN ANY OF MY STREAMS! I've complained about this multiple times, but any appeals I put through get ignored and none of my e-mails ever get taken seriously when I tell people that my VODs will be deleted in 2 days and I submitted the appeal on the day itself. So either take this song from the list or drag Ricky and Mau to court for abuse, because this is a serious problem. The song getting muted is FREE TO USE and from Kevin MacLeod, it doesn't even resemble the song it claims is in there. I've seen multiple people having this problem with them. They are basically owning a song to themselves that isn't theirs.

I would like to use the free to use music, but apparently even that isn't allowed.

Allow Musicians to play their own Music that they've composed themselves and have uploaded on Music streaming services or have a copy of the music on their devices that they play the music with.
For example, I've composed 2 albums that are available on Spotify and other Music streaming services, and I'm still getting my audio muted because twitch doesn't allow any spotify tracks to be played during a stream.

So, I'm hoping twitch can allow Streamers to play their own music, by adding a portal where they can connect their Music copyrights (email address could be enough), and then play it once the streamer is approved via this portal.

Shadow Bans or Temporary Bans should be distributed. who continuously violate copyrights. And there are several cases of copyright infringement. Also that these people get banned from appearing on Twitch. Because after 1-2 bans people don't stop and keep violating the songwriter's rights or the author's rights. It should be punished more severely and faster with people who can not leave it.
Based on the video, you can see whether the streamers have used copyright material or not. In addition, the DMCA does not have to be logged on Twitch to discover an offense. Best of all to catch yourself in the act when streaming. The rule is not free and applies to everyone, including in Germany, are upload filters.

So this might have been covered before, but for a lot of game streamers, copyrighted music is a problem in videos. One of the songs in a previous stream got muted. I have no problem with that. My issue if I could fix it is that the block that got muted is much longer than the song. 6 minutes gets muted versus the song which is only about 2 minutes of time in the video. I wish there was a way to unmute specific segments that are not part of the copyright. If there was a way to tell which songs in a game would need to be blocked or removed, I would also have zero issues with that as well.

Final Fantasy XV actually blocked music automatically that was not licensed by them. At least this was true using the share function on PlayStation 4 and something I hope that all games can do at some point in the future, but until then, it would be great to be able to have better options to fix these issues. I have no want or ill desire to just post things that would offend the creators or violate their wants.

If I am being completely honest, I do streaming for two key reasons and part of the reason I push them over to YouTube as well. Reason number 1, is my wife will often ask me what the last thing I did in a game was and if she missed something cool. Explaining things is not the same as just seeing it. Number 2, my memory is not the best and sometimes I go back and watch my videos just to figure out what I was doing or otherwise I end restarting the game from the beginning. It just gives me a way to skip around and get back on track even with sidequests or getting ready for a sequel if New Game+ is not an option. I do like to hear the story segments when possible though.

So, I did a stream earlier, and I was going back to clip things. And a section was muted as 'copyrighted music' when it was the same thing playing as always. So, I realized that a train had gone by around that time. And the muted section was about the length of time it took the train to pass. So...I'm not sure, but I think the recording thought that was copyrighted music. Just a heads up. Not a complaint, the brief muted part does not ruin anything in the clips I just thought it was worth mentioning. (Edit to add: I live right by train tracks, so it would have definitely picked up the train)
