So Twitch is basically doing what YouTube does now. Unfortunately, there isn’t a lot YouTube or twitch could do, as of now most of the work revolves around changing the DMCA,(reply>), Following the comments as it made me think of things I did in the past,(reply>), sopapipa was replaced by dmca,(reply>), The twitch streamer SimpleFlips has gotten around all this by somehow sending two audio streams to twitch, one with the potentially DMCA violating music to be streamed live, and another without it for clips and replays. I don't know the specifics of how he does it, but he's worked it out with twitch to do so and since most of the rules involve your clips or other content stored on the platform, it seems to be a viable solution.,(reply>), @Flaccid Pancake Because to license that music would actually cost them more money than what they're making on that content. They wouldn't just want some small pennies for the music itself, they'd want a chunk of the total revenue the video generated. The music industry in particular has a whole load of asshats who somehow still have political support. We still have copyright levies and they are now applied even to freaking smartphones.,(reply>), They absolutely can do something about it but aren't willing to. Both Amazon and Google have music streaming services but are unwilling to spend the pennies that it would cost to have their users background music be licensed through their own services
