GTA...and Fallout and plenty of other games (and even more if you count mods) play copyrighted music. Doesn't help that copyrights last until they are about to expire and then Congress extends them for another 30 years.

Well, bravo to google. They spend a billion dollars on a company that their own action will possible make nearly valueless because of clumsy anti-piracy. Okay, saying it's valueless is a bit of an overstatement. Did youtube become valueless? Cause they did the same thing with that. That isn't completely a fair comparison though. Consider the number of videos on YouTube of people playing music and compare it with the number of Twitch streams playing music. Sure you can. Have you ever heard of "Let's Plays". Its just a recorded Twitch Stream on youtube and they are one of the most thriving scenes on Youtube. People thinking this will kill twitch are just drinking the drama coolaid. It will just become like Lets plays on Youtube, which do just fine. On August 07 2014 09:39 Kurr wrote:On August 07 2014 09:26 NexUmbra wrote:On August 07 2014 09:22 SetGuitarsToKill wrote:

There are ways around it production wise. First of all, no, Dreamhack has music all the time. In-game music, for starters. Music when a player wins. Music in the previews. Of course it's just background music, but the content system doesn't care about that. And my point is under the assumption that this will be turned on for live streaming. Which it will, if the technology is there and Google buys twitch. Not to mention the awesome potential of "This stream is not available in your country". It will be fine, they will have music and find a way to put up VODs. Maybe they just record it and upload the VODs to youtube. People will work around it.

Yep. When pushed around too much the gaming community is definitely one community that doesn't stand around too long.

I was wondering earlier as well. Some streamers have this as well and not just leagues...

The thing is that any streaming service that gets large enough will need to put a system like this in place. And its not like Twitch is doing this because they want to. Just like YouTube, they put it in place because they have to take down copyrighted material or open themselves to liability to the record labels. Its not like any other streaming service is going to be magically immune to this.

DotaTV has been more stable than Twitch since I started watching Dota2. And now that you can pause and rewind games in progress (from the point you started watching it), it doesn't look all that interesting to watch streams any longer of Dota2.

The upcoming addition of new production features like split-screen cams for base races and I think some more teamfight info will add a lot more to DotaTV, in addition to the ton of stuff that they've implemented these past months.
However, I still think streams still hold some advantage over DotaTV, like being able to more easily follow an individual player, being able to listen to his music and commentary. I can't imagine experiences like Singsing's stream or Arteezy's stream transferring over very well to DotaTV. Plus, I'm currently not in a position to pay for most tournament tickets to access them on DotaTV, so I prefer to watch them free over Twitch.
I do think there should be an active effort to rescue vods, though. A lot of decent history can potentially be lost, especially from older leagues.

Well Twitch is dead to me for watching VODs of a ton of streamers. Huge portions sometimes the entire VOD itself is muted because they were playing copyrighted music in the background. Can't watch any Dota2 streamer VOD and some CSGO streamers too. So much bullshit, was actually hoping Google wouldn't bring their Youtube type censorship over to Twitch but I was dead wrong.

Hitbox said that ever since Twitch implemented their rules today, they had a huge influx of users. So much so that their site crashed.
Gaming community isn't stupid, most of the people who are with Twitch are gamers themselves. Whatever the reasons that Twitch is doing this for, it will hurt them. Now streamers actually have a legit reason to find other places to stream. Streaming and Music goes along hand to hand. The fact that Twitch even did this is just confusing.

Isn't it technically illegal to stream using music you don't have permission to?

The whole "in-game ambient and music" thing sounds so stupid to me.

Probably, but the way that Twitch and Youtube has been combating this has been way too blunt and messy. Too much of innocent content has been unfairly flagged on both sites already.

Technically it is up to the person of the music you are listening to on stream. Some don't mind and would like the attention, some won't allow it.
Monstercat said on Twitter they will never mute any streamer that is using their music and has a form out that allows you to fill out info for the bypass. Obviously Monstercat actually cares.

Twitch pay a ton to make it legal to stream it, just not record it.

Is not just playing music on stream considered a mashup which is covered under fair use laws? Well I guess if the channel is partnered and it is making money off of it, then maybe not. Also twitch is always making money off of any streams, but how much is due to background music?
I guess this is just in general a mess when it comes to laws.
In general though, it is not breaking copyright to play some copyrighted music on a VOD you are not making any money on.

in light of the twitch policy changes, is it possible for foreigners to stream on afreeca?

Wrong. This is neither covered by fair use nor is there a "it's ok if you don't make a profit" thing when it comes to copyright.
