Music/DJ Streamers should not get copyright claims on VODs. Period.
I'm so sick of fighting off 15 copy right claims and losing half the set I played for VRChat last night. I fill out all your paper work just for the sections to stay muted. It's unfair and unethical for DJs since we naturally use other peoples music for our sets. Now I have to record my sets in obs or switch to youtube. I already swapped to VRCDN as my main streamer and restream to twitch because your ad breaks are unpleasant for DJ Sets in VR.
I know nothing will change, I just needed to vent because every single DJ has to fight back and we're sick of the copyright claims.
Should I switch to youtube? Kick? Let me know. Be Safe, Be Great, have an amazing day <3 <3

I disagree, VODs should not be posted for copyright music we (DJs) don't have permission to distribute. HOWEVER, I agree that the excessive copyright notices need to stop.
I would instead support a very similar feature whereby we can Report License as an option in the muted audio appeals - I don't want to appeal the mute on the VOD I haven't posted (as I don't intend to post it; and if I DID I would want the mute to remain). However I DO want to declare my right through my paid DJ Pool to live-stream the audio. The only options in "Appeal Muted Audio" are
1) My video does not contain the audio identified
2) I created and performed the original music without including any third party audio, and own all rights
3) I have permission from all applicable rights holders to use the audio and distribute it on Twitch as part of my video
4) My use of the audio as part of my video on Twitch is fair useSo I would suggest another option in the muted audio "keep VOD muted, report license to live stream audio on Twitch"
The email wording states I do not have a right to what I did and to not do it again - that is inflamatory and false. There should be an option to submit license info, and the wording should indicate that this is a possibility. This is why I have VODs turned off already.
