Third Party Audio Banned On Twitch

<< < (2/3) > >>

lemonxreaper:
Twitch is stupid for following copyright law and not risking getting sued? ok, makes total sense.

Its surprising it wasn't like this for so long, I mean, look at how long its been like this on youtube.

its not fair to blame them for this.

Paragus:
Avoidance fights are often flagged for copyright on youtube, but can be acknowledged.   On twitch they will be muted.   If you highlight a muted  section for youtube uploading does it mute it on youtube as well?  If so, that's going to be very annoying to those in the community who are more into avoidance.

I also have to mention this, and knowing you paragus you love playing your own music on stream, i saw that your whole hearthstone stream from last night i think, was completely muted.

Artardss:
From what I've heard you'll still have the audio on youtube. The twitchplayer simply mutes the sound, it's not getting rid of the audio entirely. There even was a bug (don't know if this still works) where you could press your spacebar twice during a muted part, and the sound would come back.

Wolsk:
It's stupid even if there ARE workarounds.  As far as I know, no one is making money off the viewcount of VODs, so being worried about being sued is kinda dumb.  I was looking forward to Google taking over in hopes that they would make things way better despite the inevitable Google+ integration because they have so much money.  Lotsa people are mad about this audio thing and are already migrating to Hitbox (which I'll do if Google actually does ruin Twitch), but right now I guess I'll deal with it.  It's gonna make exporting from Twitch a pain, though.
