Not necessarily. If you're not an affiliate on Twitch, ads aren't run. You don't have a sub button or anything. Technically, your only revenue source would be a hypothetical donation button if you have that set up.
So the law is indifferent to the actual amount of people, it's only concerned about a hypothetical situation where people lay their naughty eyes on something that's licensed without paying for it.
Yeah, I mean that's sort of the modus of this whole convo. I think that the actual amount of money that a hypothetical stream of under 10 people potentially could've garnered universal records or whoever is so small that it would make no difference anyway.
Yeah, seriously. DMCA and copyright laws are unbelievably stupid. Being a content creator is a balancing act of walking on eggshells praying you don't get nuked by some greedy IP owner.
No! For the record I never play music on stream, and if I do, it's music that is ok to use, and if it isn't you're probably wrong, and if you aren't then I'm probably allowed to use it anyway, and if I'm not then I never play music on stream.
I love this gif because it's actually like the sloppiest breaching of a building ever lmao
This is a bad response that needs clarifying - is what you're comparing to about music in-game for example? To which the publisher has paid rights for that doesn't cover public exhibition to which streaming on a platform such as Twitch counts as? To which some games have "streamer mode" options.
100%, you also have to balance the fact that TOS on ALL of these websites changes every 2 weeks. I have a video that I got a copyright strike for on YouTube for a TOS violation, a video that I uploaded TEN YEARS AGO. It wasn't in violation back then, and I'm supposed to pay THAT close of attention to every TOS change and make sure every single video of mine doesn't violate whatever bullshit new changes they make?

Messy wording on your side, should have ended with "/s"
This kind of response is obviously not reading the intent of my message. I fully understand the rules, but that's actually archaic. There are people who have uploaded 10000 videos on youtube over the span of 10 years, what are they actually intended to do here. What's being asked is actually impossible short of having an army of legal experts at your side.
I'm sorry but it's very clearly sarcastic. I shouldn't need to spell it out for you, lol. It's pretty heavy handed, especially with the repeating of the initial line.
That's something I was thinking about as well. It's just something I was interested in having a discussion about for this exact purpose. It's cool to have everyone's perspective on it, if nothing else just because it gives me perspective that I just didn't have before.
I wouldn't go assuming people can pick up what you post as sarcastic comments on the internet - especially people who don't speak English natively and need to translate/look for context.
Whether I'm at fault or you are is irrelevant. Maybe as a more tactful approach, don't approach something with an accusatory tone, and try for something more balanced and impartial instead of characterizing something you're explicitly asking for more context on?
So, sure. This is correct, but there's also the problem of copyright strikes. If you're in violation of the rules in 3 separate cases, no matter when the system decided to act upon it, but once you are, your account is deleted. You can appeal and have it restored in rare cases and misunderstandings/actual YouTube error, but if you have multiple old videos that are public and that now violate TOS and the algorithm decided to hit you with a triple whammy, there is quite literally nothing you can do. Livelihood potentially instantly destroyed because you don't have the ability to read adjustments to TOS and reflect how that can affect every single video you've uploaded. It's a tall order.
Never said anything to hold against you but reading your original post and some of the responses you made it's appeared like someone complaining because they can't play the music they want on a Twitch stream, and then tried playing a 'I'm a content creator' card which just doesn't work. If you stream on any platform you should understand the rules of the platform and what is and isn't allowed. The comparison you tried to make about playing music on a publicly viewable internet stream just because it's viewed by like 10 people to a private house party was honestly a strange one to begin with.
Again, I'm really not arguing about the actual logistics of the question. I'm stating that I am a single person, and I just don't have the time to sit there and review every single video I've ever published every time TOS is updated. So I guess, I should probably just delist all of my videos and shut down my account.
There are people who are paid to go around and report on these things. There are also a lot of disgruntled employees that call in on these things. ASCAP are absolutely equal opportunity assholes and do not care how deep the pockets might be.
i mean yea its a joke gif
