Twitch users now need to be more vigilant about the music they play while making gameplay videos. Twitch is now scanning videos for unauthorized third-party audio — in-game and ambient music — and automatically muting that content.
R.I.P Twitch it would not surprise me if Google will soon make you sign up to Google Plus to stream content from PS4 and XBOX ONE and even chat in the chats. I am so upset right now about this
Everyone knew Twitch was done the moment google purchased them. Twitch is dead. This will open up a great chance for the alternative services to really shine and take over.
I actually had a feeling this was going to happen, it's the same thing as when Google bought out Youtube. Companies were complaining and preparing to sue Youtube(before Google bought it) because of the amount of copyrighted content uploaded. Google came to Youtube with open arms, stating that they had a system that could potentially fix the issue to where both sides were happy(well, it's one sided lol). I'm almost certain that a similar situation on Twitch occurred, which led them to being bought out by Google due to their copyright system.
FUCK YOU GOOGLE! You buy everything and then make it WORSE. You don't innovate - You stifle! You don't connect - You censor! You don't lead technology - You hold it back!
I can't believe this....nowhere is safe. Sony needs to build their own version of Twitch, maybe with PSNow servers, so that we can get to "save forever" our streams back and not have to worry about Google's aggro content-ID flags.
Whenever a video service becomes a threat to YouTube in anyway, Google will just buy them out. The only way YouTube will ever be dethroned is if the owners of the other video services say no to Google's temptations.
Teach me how to make a service like that, and not only will I open it, I'll make a video recording of me laughing long and hard at any offer Google should throw my way, before tossing the offer in the trash. Sometimes there are more important things than money...
The top streamers will be happy, or will at least get the better part of the deal. They'll probably get paid the same or more by Google to keep viewers up. Everyone else is screwed.
For anyone streaming: If this happens to you, contact (and overwhelm) twitch support. It doesn't matter if you're streaming the same game, just on a different day. File another incident even if you know it's the same.
This goes for any service really - esp. YouTube. Support is one of the most costly aspects of running a service and typically every time a support call needs to be taken, the service has lost money for that user.
Yeah, but unlike Twitch and Youtube, at least Nintendo is going to be doing a partnership program to take care of that. Though, granted, it's not being done the way Let's Players want it to be, if they haven't changed how they're planning it...still, I'd take that over having my videos muted or removed.
And today Twitch was left in a hot car by adopted parent Goggle, leading to a slow, painful and silent death as all of its screams for help were muted by a copyright infringement muzzle. Remember, NEVER leave your children in a hot car, even for 5 minutes.
Am I the only one that doesn't have a problem with Twitch muting copyrighted material? It makes sense to me, especially with people making money and getting sponsorships off of these streams.
Not when the music being muted is the actual music from the game being streamed...
I stand by my prior comment above: For any streamer or viewer on a stream with a legitimate piece of content blocked, file a support ticket/incident/email with Twitch - and do this for every single time it occurs until it stops.
So long my livestream of Pokemon Y without capture card and good quality mic and camera. Playing my favorite video game music and anime opening themes for my several viewers. :(
Sooo I guess no one will be streaming guitar hero or dance central on twitch. I wonder if titles like Alan wake that has a great soundtrack that would get muted. This is so dumb. I think a cars volume should only go to 10 decibels, that way you aren't fringing on rights if the car in the lane next to you can hear your music...
Silver lining, you don't have to listen to other people's terrible music choices. I'd much rather hear the person I'm there to watch since I can't adjust their volume and the song volume independently.
Looks like Google has purchased them or they're getting prepared for the purchase. What a pity. R.I.P
Edit: that didn't take long

People are getting whole recordings muted, even when it's 'in game' music:

...Ugh, so it begins.
Twitch is dead, long live Ustream....
FFS...Here we go, time for Google to destroy Twitch.
