Twitch blocking copyrighted audio

Im streaming on hitbox from now on: http://www.hitbox.tv/Wafles if anyone wants to follow

Reasons why every stepmania streamer should switch
1. delay is 2-3s instead of 45s+
2. interface is just as good if not better. broadcaster dashboard is WAY better. managing your settings is super simple. everything is braindead easy to find
3. your vods won't get muted all over the place. all my vods on twitch are fucked because of this so i can't go back and watch hardly anything. I spent 2+ hours yesterday stepping a song on stream and 3/4 of the vod got muted. cool
4. Hitbox also has a partnership program if by some miracle you get partnered for streaming stepmania

Hey guys,

With the recent roll-out of Twitch & Audible Magic's content matching system, I thought it would be a good time to publicize our stance on music usage via Twitch.

For those who currently aren't aware of ourselves, Monstercat is an electronic music record label based in Vancouver Canada. We've worked with the YouTube and streaming community for years to offer our music to creative content creators.

We recently launched our new Twitch Commercial Use request form. We will be actively going through submissions to offer a commercial use license to streamers and access to our entire catalogue of over 700 songs. Apply here: http://monster.cat/TwitchRequest

Due to the fact that our catalogue will be given to approved streamers, we will not be able to accept all applications into the program. This is out of respect to our artists and their hard work.

If you have any questions, please ask away below. I'm here to help!

Audible Magic's content matching system

More like Audible Magic's Can't Detect Actual Music System!

the future is dark and full of terrors

[Charu]

I still don't think that this new system, as stupid as it is, isn't very threatening to what Twitch is all about.

I can see a snag in the speedrunning community, for sure, but don't speedrunners usually save a local copy of their run anyways?

Once Live Channels get effected, then we can truly say Twitch is deado.

[Wafles]

if live channels get content id (its completely possible because of the stream delay it just needs a lot of computing power) everyone is gonna peace the fuck out of twitch

hopefully they're not that stupid

Oh, all is good then. I'd imagine that would take a stupid high amount of processing power anyway.

a quote from his reply to cosmo (currently top comment so i don't know why i'm doing this):

W/ regard to content id:
Hey Cosmo, I understand your feelings here. We have absolutely no intention of flagging songs due to original in-game music. If that's happening (and it appears it is), it's a problem and we will investigate and try to fix it.

in complete fucking contradiction to what they've already said ("This includes in-game and ambient music.")
nothing this dude says means anything
edit: nvm he actually cleared it up a bit:

[lurker]

the rhythm gaming community totally has to jump ship though since it kinda depends on pirating music (especially osu and stepmania, bms should be fine)
the ama is actually pretty good

[Charu]

Oh yeah... that means all those osu streams I keep seeing are going to have to think about where to goooooo (hitbox hitbox hitbox hitbox).
