After a certain amount of time has passed, enough time for Twitch to be satisfied that the streamer is not infringing the DMCA regularly, the strike will be removed from the user’s account. This ‘Repeat Infringer’ policy would see a strike issued to a streamer for a period, but not indefinitely. The main change to the DMCA Guidelines is that Twitch has now adopted a policy whereby any streamer receiving three strikes within a stated timeframe would have their account terminated on the service. Those measures introduced back then were aimed at giving greater clarity and certainty to streamers over what media could be used and could not be used when streaming live, in an attempt to stop popular streamers from receiving a strike and removing a huge chunk of content, a good proportion of which did not infringe the DMCA.įurther updates, modifications, and improvements to this service were expected to follow later in the year and the first of those are here and it has involved Twitch re-writing huge chunks of its DMCA guidelines page. You may recall back in March when we looked at the issue of Twitch streamers and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), the platform had been taking a number of measures to try and avoid their streamers receiving a strike against their name for deliberately, or inadvertently, infringing on the DMCA. Streamers will try to make their content appealing and innovative in many different ways, often including music, images, videos, and similar in their broadcasts. Twitch is much more than a platform to simply watch esports online.
