Twitch to monitor and mute VOD content guilty of using 'unauthorized third party material' (PCGamer) Twitch eliminates "save forever" option as it moves to improve Video On Demand options (PCGamer)
Well, this will just open the door for another company that wants to take over the areas that the new and improved Google Twitch has stopped marketing too.
i already had a video muted. it was a test video on the main menu of the last of us. it also got muted.
"...During Febuary of 2014, the Justin.tv business was rebranded as Twitch Interactive and today the original parent site was closed so that resources could be focused on the Twitch platform. The Justin.tv site now displays a short 7 minute video message and FAQ regarding the site closure..." Justin.tv is Twitch.
Same, but I was just listening to music so I can't complain so much but I think it was the way they quickly sent out an email saying that they would block/mute copyrighted audio the moment the service went live and not giving any one time to do anything. Heck they even removed the audio from some DOTA 2 tournament videos by Valve for having music...by Valve. So who's going to start the next gamer streaming service with a common sense policy?
