I wonder too. It seems like this could cause issues with companies that use legal purchased third-party music. How does the bot tell the difference?

If you have rights to use something you are good to go. Day9 for example shouldn't have any problems because he has the right to use what he is playing.



But its another thing whether the system still works correctly. Dreamhack Vods are muted even though they've paid for the rights. But then again, just prove it and you should be good to go.

I guess it's nice that there are ways to get around it, but that still seems like a huge pain in the ass for most companies to deal with, and hurts them in the meantime until they can prove they have the rights.

Wow this is worse than I thought. Youtube-like copyrights and outright removal of most VODs?

This affects A LOT of leagues that keep their VODs there as well as some streamers that require you to be a subscriber to watch their VODs.

A lot of SC2 VODs will forever be deleted. Same thing with every other eSports games, they will lose soooo many games. And sometimes I watch old MTG VODs from the main streams.

This is absolutely insane. Twitch gets destroyed within a day basically.

The big problem is that those sound recognition programs have a TON of false-positives. This is going to be hell, especially because you can't (afaik) export a flagged piece of vod to youtube, thus losing all the content.
edit: well I mean, you can still record it locally, but twitch will be pretty useless for that function now.


On Youtube, a lot of pretty big channels that I follow have had to go through hell and back because of false flags, lost tons of money and even risked getting their channels removed unfairly.

Important: Changes To Audio In VODS. No more copyrighted music.
http://blog.twitch.tv/2014/08/3136/

We’ve partnered with Audible Magic, which works closely with the recorded music industry, to scan past and future VODs for music owned or controlled by clients of Audible Magic. This includes in-game and ambient music. When music in the Audible Magic database is detected (“Flagged Content”), the affected portion of the VOD will be muted and volume controls for that VOD will be turned off. Additionally, past broadcasts and highlights with Flagged Content are exportable but will remain muted


So in-game music huh? This is going to be fun.


So it's gonna be the same bullshit system youtube uses... I fucking hate copyright laws and companies that enforce them like fucking nazis.


I think we all agree they can go eat a dick. When someone copyrights the sound of a bomb exploding in the background of a game that the viewer can barely hear, you know there's some fucking problem.

Is it possible to split the audio stream to record the voices/game sounds and the music separately.

Then the archived streams could automatically replace the music with some non copyrighted light jazz while keeping everything else unchanged.


From what I've seen/researched so far, none of the commonly used programs can do it as audio splitting is a pretty processor intensive process in and of itself. I know professional equipment can do it, but no one's gonna have that equipment lying around.

The simplest answer will be to record audio locally in a separate program (like Audacity, which I think can capture individual audio sources) and if it gets flagged, download the VOD from Twitch and edit it in a program like Adobe Premiere Pro.

Oh absolutely, no doubt about that.

What baffles me most is the "in-game music" part. Popular streamer DansGaming's Fallout 3 vod was completely muted because of the in-game music/radio. Same with GTA games and lots of older games (according to speedgaming community)

Also, rofl.

See you on azubu! This is crazy, these copyright laws are so arcane. If anyone would want to listen a certain song, they wouldn't go to a video game stream praying that the person will play that song, let alone all the stupid video game sounds that would be blaring over it.

2 extremely fun facts:
- Twitch's own vods are getting flagged, like the vod of Twitch weekly.
- pressing spacebar twice over a muted section of vod unmutes the vod

Hilarious.
Edit: got sniped about twitch weekly.

And music companies that feel that way won't have their stuff flagged. Those who don't will. Its not going to be that big of a deal once they get the kinks worked out.

It definitely sounds weird that a site dedicated to streaming people playing video games would use software that mutes you for playing the music in those very games.
