Implement measures to protect streamers from blanket copyright strikes for copyrighted content Currently, it is hopelessly impractical for streamers to do what they do best, entertain with back ground music filling the silence between moments when they game or interact, while the danger of blanket copyright strikes resulting in forced stream and VOD censoring exists. If twitch wants this to work effectively, they have to fight for it. This could mean hiring legal experts, and/or lobbyists to work to implement something similar to the Fair Use Act under US law in the long term, but in the mean time I've prepared a suggestion or two that should help the situation if implemented.

Create a control tool You could create a tool to report a copyright claim. This tool would send the id or url (I don't know how you handle that) in order for Twitch to check if the claim is legit and if it is, you can send the notification to the streamer using the id/url of the claimed VOD or clip. By doing that, the streamer will know exactly which VOD/clip has been reported and can act accordingly given the situation.
That is my idea and I think it could be very useful.1 vote -
Muting and cropping VODs and clips Implement a muting and/or cropping feature that allows streamers to remove offending content. This muting/removal should carry over to clips. Prior to granting strikes, streamers should automatically get a warning, their VOD can be put on hold or set to "private," highlighting the VOD in question and allowing them to personally remove or mute the offending section in their VODs before it can be made public again.

PROVIDE DETAILS OF THE ALLEGED DMCA INFRINGEMENT (AFFECTED CLIP(S)/VOD(S)) I feel like this should have been a given from the start, but apparently not.
WHEN YOU SEND OUT THE INFRINGEMENT NOTIFICATIONS TWITCH, PROVIDE MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE INFRINGEMENT.
Don't just give us "information about the allegedly infringed work, who the claimant is, how the claimant can be contacted, and possible penalties under our repeat infringer policy", give us NOT ONLY names and links to affected clips and VODs, but also TIMESTAMPS FOR EACH INFRINGEMENT.
This information would provide users with a better ability to not only find the content that was allegedly infringed upon, but would allow users to…
