Not every bit of recorded music is played for commercial purposes. Also it promotes the artist even more. Licensing isn't always about getting a percentage. They want you to pay a fee for usage alone, and it doesn't matter how much returns you're getting. If you want to use their product in a manner that distributes it publicly, you have to pay their fee. Not that I agree with the laws and the policies, but unless the law and legal system changes, that's the way it is. (It could be worse...the RIAA doesn't even come close to GEMA) | ||

Any capable human being benefits from a music from a game stream can easily find music online or whatever. | ||

Streaming music with other voices and sounds in the background doesn't mean distributing the licensed music. Any capable human being benefits from a music from a game stream can easily find music online or whatever. That's not how the licenses work, though. I get your opinion, but unfortunately it's not applicable to the law at hand. | ||
