![]() ![]() And most hilariously of all, even a VOD on Twitch's official channel has been flagged for audio violation. Pokemon videos are muted for containing music from Pokemon. Any game that features a radio broadcast with actual music is a big target for auto-mute, apparently including one streamer's Fallout 3 VODs, despite the fact that many of the tracks featured are garbled recordings of songs over 50 years old. Big gaming sites have had official trailers that were handed to them by the publisher flagged for copyright infringement. The automated scanning and muting/copyright strike system that has plagued YouTube, and now is infesting Twitch VODs leads to any number of preposterous scenarios. ![]() So instead, the fault lies with the overreaching of copyright holders, and a horrible automated system that flags a large amount of debatable audio or outright false positives. Many who don't understand the situation would simply say "everyone should just leave these sites and start a new one with more freedom." But when that site gets big enough? They'll have to do the same thing due to the current rights issues at stake. Any video or audio company that gets this big has to protect themselves from potential copyright lawsuits in some form or another, especially when they're probably about to be bought by the largest tech company in the world ( though some don't believe that's what this move indicates). This is awful, yet it's not entirely Twitch's fault. ![]()
