I have a problem with the above mentioned article in Creator Camp.

It offers the suggestion to delete all clips if you aren't able to find a clip that might.... MIGHT be infringing on copyright.

Let's say that I am someone who has been streaming on Twitch for a number of years and that my community (to the best of their knowledge) has not been deliberately clipping moments from my stream that infringe copyright.

Suddenly, I get a warning that some piece of my content has infringed copyright and that the offending item has been deleted. I don't get any information about which item was deleted, nor which copyright was infringed.

So, as the article in Creator Camp says, to be 100% safe from getting a copyright strike, I must either review every individual clip, upload, highlight or VOD on my channel for content which might infringe copyright.

Or, I have to delete all clips, uploads, highlights and VODs. I'll call this 'the nuclear option' because that's what it is - I lose all of my content, and I'm still not sure if any of that content was infringing.

First of all, it's really bad that we as creators need to have 'the nuclear option' in the first place. If there was some kind of log which indicated which item was deleted after a scan by a bot and the copyright that the item was infringing, then we would at least have some idea of what to listen for.

Secondly, the only other recourse creators have is to download their clips and then delete. This is also bad. If my average clip is 30 seconds long and takes up 8130KB, and I have 57 clips, that's a cool 463MB to download right there. That's not too bad, right? I can fit that on a flash drive and have lot of room left over. Oh, but what if instead I had 8000 clips instead? That's a reasonable number for a productive creator, right? And that's only 65GB to download. That's not bigger than a lot of GAME INSTALLS, right?

So you see, creators on Twitch have two really bad options for managing their content to make sure it's free of infringing content. The second of which, while preserving memories from years of streaming, also eats a lot of disk space and temporarily uses up bandwidth and server CPUs that Twitch could be using for better things.

While the article accurately presents the options currently available to Twitch creators, these should not be the only options available and there are several concert halls worth of room for improvement on Twitch's part. The article should be changed to reflect this fact.
