>This means two things: 1) if you play recorded music on your stream, you need to stop doing that and 2) if you haven’t already, you should review your historical VODs and Clips that may have music in them and delete any archives that might.
How will boring streamers ever recover?
>How will boring streamers ever recover?
By speedrunning Minecraft.
how is streaming music to this audience any different from streaming gameplay footage? they are both copyrighted works, why don't game companies sue streamers for displaying their copyrighted material?
because music companies are stupider than game companies and let's players have an argument that idk if it's ever been used in court that playing a video game is transformative use because anyone can play them differently and commentary makes it fair use.
i dont care about copyright record industry is just greedy
I would have been the happiest person on earth if piracy killed record companies
drdisrespect is already making his own recorded music
boycott labels
Imagine defending record corporations and draconian copyright laws because you're too autistic to comprehend people being more popular than you.
Because due to the interactive nature of video games, every streamed instance of it is transformative, and therefore fair use.
I would gladly agree this is stupid and unjust, from a common sense standpoint. But you really don't need to be a lawyer (especially if you're in the broadcast industry, amateur as it may be) to know not to use copyright shit in your videos. That's on you.
I wonder how long until they go over webcam sluts for their background music?
Well they have in some cases. I remember the firewatch devs forced pewdiepie to remove his video of their game after he said the nigger word, so ostensibly devs do have the power to stop people from recording footage of their IP. But I would love to see blizzard or some other turbojew developers try to kill twitch to see what the courts would say.
It's very likely they could make some argument and shut it down completely, but they probably realize it's free advertisement to have millions watching and getting interested in your game, and the numbers probably back it up as well. With music, the concern is if a user or bot could get a complete version of a song by streaming a VOD from a streamer (potentially one created for this purpose), and distribute it. The modern equivalent of recording a radio transmission to extract a song.
What about VNs where there is little to no gameplay, and you are experiencing the entire work just by watching a recording of it?
they all just nuked vods and play royalty free music
>why don't game companies sue streamers for displaying their copyrighted material?
So far they see it as free advertising. Who knows what might happen if some company wants to take it to court.
>"reeee why can't I use the money I paid for"
Because we all know why streamers use the music in their streams. They use it as a asset to grow their audience. Get fucked streamers. Make your own promo material
>Zoomer hears song
>Gets it on spotify
There you go advertising
>Automated bot records song
>Don't pay for Spotify
How do you think they can tell you have a song in a years old VOD, retard? No one's actually watching it, not a human anyways.
Imagine simping for popular assholes who don't give a shit about you.
This is a case of two crowds of people whom I despise equally fighting themselves and I'm not going to go and try to stop it.
If the streamer talks over it or can make any kind of choice in the game it would fall under transformative i think.
Streaming is about to get a wake up call from all kinds of copyright holders including music and the games themselves. Amateur streaming will die and the only kind of streaming will be hired representatives of a particular studio or company that only plays what they tell them to play.
user, this thread is about video games, not novels. If you want to talk about novels, go to /lit/.
If I put some music I bought on my speakers and my roommate hears it, will I go to jail for sharing copyrighted music?
they could if they wanted to.
first, good fuck streamers.
second, "ha this dude im watching is playing a track from this album, now i never need to buy it haha"
I don't think that case has actually been made legally to date, it's just that no publisher has made a serious attempt because it's asinine.
They don't even need to play RIAA music. There's an insane amount of content out there that won't trigger DMCA. Lazy "Just Chatting" streamers want to be able to blast the latest rap song in the background.
i say good, fuck these free riding zoomers. millennials had to deal with lawsuits, risking heavy fines and jail time for torrenting, just for zoomers to turn around and throw it all away on netflix and spotify subscriptions. now it's their time to get fucked by the long dick of copyright law.
Do you charge your roommate money to listen to the music?
because it's free advertising
it's the same for music, but music companies are retarded
or just tern off the music problem salved
>why don't game companies sue streamers for displaying their copyrighted material?
They should.
Once again the music industry doubles down on their monumental stupidity and failure to capitalize the internet.
so why do retards on Zig Forums hate streamers they are doing something you want to but you have the personality of a retard so you want do it?
Because its literally free market and could bring some kind of talent for company.
Same deal of why nobody bothers to chase off artists in japan. It's stupid and would give massive bad rep.
The issue is though, that streamers are deleting their entire video archive, and are still getting slapped with DMCAs
This board's favorite video game company, Nintendo, claimed all videos for the longest time, not only video game related, but also if any Nintendo soundtrack was played. Somehow their Japanese insect brains realized it was a retarded strategy and dropped it eventually.
RIAA Jews are like the council of elder vampires from Underworld. Incredibly ancient and out of touch with the modern world.
Nobody is watching Twitch streamers so they can listen to licensed soundtracks from random video games.
whate fucking bitch esl
It's ALL licensed music, specifically mentioned to include video games which contain it and background audio in public spaces. I believe it was mentioned somewhere in an official capacity that Cyberpunk would be affected.
Just make streaming illegal.
it's not different at all
game companies just understand the value of free advertising
The issue is that lot of shit is de facto licensed. You know why squeenix bitch and moan about music? Its because composer is a fuckface and own the music.
Not mention that stuff like Guitar hero would be a big no no.
Guitar Hero 1 and 2 are mostly covers. I don't think the zogbot would catch them if you streamed.
Nah, cyberpunk mentioned how all the songs were original and they would be looking into it or something.
The music industry is infamously evil and corrupt.
>jews gonna jew
gosh, who knew usury would be such a bad thing? I totally did not see this coming!
>put smash videos on youtube
>only FF and Megalovania get flagged
fuck that dumb shit
2 on 360 replaced some covers with actual song, and 3 covers can really pass as real deal even for bots.
Nobody ever touch the first game, also ass load of DLCs specially on rockband.
Fuck streamers. Anything that makes their lives more difficult is good.
Music publishers have been doing this shit for decades.
They are probably preparing for a streamer/twitch lawsuit and are just preparing their case at this point
I love large billion dollar industries crushing small independent entertainers.
>girl streamer turns around and bends over to write my name on her white board for most donations
Isn't Rock Banned all original recordings? I vaguely remember the Beatles one being that way.
I can't really wait for napster part deux.
Amusing since Metallica actually embraced digital and streaming.
Jim Sterling tier argument akin to paying an artist in exposure.
if anything streaming a modern game just shows everyone how bad it is and that's probably the last thing they want.
>pedophile kikes vs. faggot streamers
Let them fight.
