For Musical Content Copyright Disclaimer there’s a law in the UK called Fair Use under section 107 Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.
Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statue 5 might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favour of fair use. Therefore my videos are for entertainment purposes only.
They demonstrate my skills as a disc jockey and all audio was purchased legally..

I’m from the UK, I live in the UK & abide by the UK laws in place..
I do not use any music from the USA therefore i do not comply to American stature or the DMCA who made up a law in 1996/98 to try stopping music from being played/used by DJ’s..

By the way, maybe this site should have an option on it where users can actually contact support instead of making us jump through hoops trying to find a way for contact when there isn’t a way t do so !!!

As a DJ we help labels put music out there by entertaining the masses either if it’s as small as a birthday party to as large as arenas, with that being said. Covid has put us at a disadvantage as we used to serve crowds at a time, now at a time of streaming can we find a way to work with DJs, where you can regulate (i.e DJ’s are not allowed to play more than 1:30 of a track in the risk of being muted/copyright strike) without the Dj set being muted or in the risk of a copyright strike. It puts us at a disadvantage if half of our set is muted.

So I would 1st like to point out that there's a lot of missing links on the DMCA talk.

Most of these have to do with the Categories being streamed and what those Categories have Pre-Built in them.

A fine example of this is with EA and 2K and all the EA and 2K Sports Games.

These games contain 1 Major Flaw that will impact the DMCA and that is the Game Soundtrack Music.

For many years the In-Game Music in the Sports Games are all gonna be DMCA Hits as the music is picked by the Athlete(s) on the Cover Art to the Game(s).

If I was to look at an EA Sports Game and I see the Soundtrack has some of my favourite artists in it. I'm gonna be unhappy because I'll have to disable that In-Game Music.

Now think if it's the Athlete(s) who picked the music to be in the game and they chose to become a streamer on Twitch. They're gonna be unhappy and say "I picked this music to be in the game and because of DMCA I can't even listen to my jams?" Now you've lost another Content Creator.

You see this a lot with the UFC and the Impact Wrestling Channels on Twitch. All the fighters have their own Entrance Music they walk out to before they fight. This is Technically a Copyright on it's own as the entrance music picked by the fighter was Licensed to the Broadcasts Or Game(s) so the fighter can hype up the crowd.

Now take that into a Perspective as a Content Creator who's big into watching the Combat Sports. They've acquired the game and have chosen to start a Content Series where they're gonna make their own custom character and go down a career path in the game to achieve a goal.
The creator may be facing an AI Character for the other Fighter. But the same time, these other fighter(s) have the same music they enter to on the Broadcast put into the game.
Now the Creator's in a bit of a pickle. They're not supposed to be playing Copyright Music on their stream. But at the same time, it's unskippable as it's part of a cutscene in that game and therefore they're hit with a DMCA notice. What's going to happen to this Creator now that they've been going for over <Time Span> with the game and then they are hit with a DMCA because the game did it to them?

This needs to be brought to the attention of the Game Devs even more than Creators. If the game Devs are putting the music into the Game(s) and the Creator(s) are the ones being punished because of the music. Then this needs an appeal to ensure all creators are secured and have the freedom of the In-Game Music on their content.

This still doesn't even hit how much harder it is for the Rhythm Game Creators.

Heck! Even Creators who do Art always have music playing on their stream. I personally enjoy the Music while I'm doing art as It's a form of Inspiration to something I may create live on stream.

Prime example of myself using music with what may include DMCA Music. I'm a Multimedia Artist who does Film and Photography along with Video Editing and Graphical Arts. On Saturday 09/18/2021, I went out to a bar for the 1st time in a long time to see some Live music that my friends were performing. My friends are part of an 80's Hair Metal Tribute Band. So every song would technically be a DMCA hit on my end. But the issue of this part is that I was the person behind the camera filming a subject. I then took this subject and started to Edit the video and add in graphics and remix the Audio Levels. Just by me doing this is a DMCA? That doesn't seem fair as it's a form of inspiration to a Work of Art I'm working on at that time.

I personally was on a Long Twitter Thread earlier on 09/28/2021 where multiple Content Creators I stream with said "I really wish I could play <Game Title> on Stream. But at least 1/2 of the music in the game would give me a DMCA.

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.
