Warner Bros contacted twitch.tv about a DMCA violation against me, because I sang along to a backstreet boys song from youtube, for roughly 40 seconds, and turned it off. Talk about a pain in the ass! Looks like I won't be singing a long to backstreet boy songs while streaming! Or playing youtube music that's licensed by big companies. Hue. | ||

Also if you are following the news then you will find that Team Liquid is also dangerously close to being in violation of copyrights too: Richard O'Dwyer of the UK faces extradition to the USA for creating tvshack.net a website that only LINKED to sites with copyrighted material. Team Liquid is exactly the same in that it links to streams that frequently contain copyrighted material. Since the USA justice department has moved against Richard O'Dwyer it is matter of time for them to move on twitch and even TL down the road. Please help stop the internet police and the copyright police. You can help by signing this petition against the extradition of Richard O'Dwyer: http://www.change.org/petitions/ukhomeoffice-stop-the-extradition-of-richard-o-dwyer-to-the-usa-saverichard And also by fighting new laws to make it easier for large corporations to police the internet. | ||

And even then, you could technically only play their music. Unless you go around to all the labels of the music you listen to, and pay them for rights. It's pretty retarded if thats the case. | ||

Internet radio is the same way. The songs you listen on Pandora are not played for free. Both of these go to a communal fund that goes to artists. But I doubt artists get their proper share. The thing is the labels have not adapted to today's digital age (still) and would not offer any reasonable terms to streamers. | ||

Does anyone know one way or another if TV or radio stations are required to pay royalties or get permission to broadcast music that is played at a sporting event by the stadium that is then picked up by the announcers or other microphones? It would seem to me that streamers listening to music while primarily doing other activities would fall under that umbrella of copyright law, rather than that of a youtube video being uploaded with with a song added in the background. Is there some clause about the relative fidelity of the rebroadcast sound that allows the former and not the latter? | ||

This is an incredibly ignorant view as to the laws. I admit that some people (producers, musicians, etc) take things way out of proportion, a band is entitled to earn money on their content. I actually wonder if anyone has tried contacting bands directly for permission. Obviously huge mega bands aren't easy to reach, but there are plenty great bands out there with a decent following that have pretty good contact with the fans. And I'm sure they could see allowing their music to be streamed as good exposure. I have gone and purchased several bands because of watching streams. | ||

The music he uses on his stream is used with permission, and at least the Blue Sky Black Death guys have made statements that suggest that it's driven sales for them. | ||

Most bands do not hold the copyrights to their work. If they sign with a major label, they signed away their rights as well. AKA, asking the bands is absolutely meaningless. | ||

I believe the guy you're quoting is advocating contacting indie bands who are marketing their own work through, for example, the iTunes program (or similar ones) that allow bands to do so without affiliation with a major label. The bands I mentioned Day[9] using in his streams have so far retained the rights to their music and are able to grant that permission. Obviously, the rightholder has to provide permission. | ||
