What Is DMCA and Copyright?
DMCA and Copyright strikes are nothing new to the internet or content creation, and KZbin does have better ways to handle copyright and the striking process but Twitch isn’t the problem here, and complaining won’t help so let’s get into what even is copyright strikes and DMCA?
Well, without digging too deep into the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, it is designed to stop people from broadcasting or using other people's copyright material without the appropriate rights.
This means you need to play the music that you have the appropriate rights to. Either you’ve purchased a license like some of the platforms we will cover today, or you will use one of the hundreds of royalty-free services also talked about today. And no, KZbin premium, Spotify premium, etc are not a license to broadcast music.
The style of this video is similar to Alpha Gaming and Gaming Careers in parts. A large influence on this series has come from content creators like Wild4games and Nutty.

I got this deal already for that reason! 👍😎

[@SvedkaCatkin]

Hey Stream Scheme, maybe this is a bit "late", six months after the video was released, but I wondered about one thing, kinda important, and it surprised me that you didn't mention this in your video. Given that we ONLY play DMCA free music from either of the ones you mentioned (Epidemic Sound, Game Chop, Chillhop, NCS), with credit given, can we play the music on live feed AND on the VOD, or do we STILL have to split the channels? Thanks for any reply, I'll only accept answer from Stream Scheme as gold though.

[@TheMoldiestCheese]

Question: what if there is zero monetization in the video/channel? Most channels are for money but if the channel has zero monetization does this still apply?

[@PharosiitePharocity]

it doest work :( the code is inactive

[@LuthaTronic]

pretty soon you will only be able to listen to music by yourself and if they ever find out you are listening to music with someone else you will be striked.

[@ShlimeBallBreaks]

[@lilbluelephant7088]

Perfect timing:) I’ve been struggling figure this out!

[@BestArtist]

Every time I find some music that claims to be copyright free on youtube and use it, it imediately gets copyright struck. It's pretty infuriating, so I just dont use music anymore.

[@stephsomnia7178]

Just realized I can save money when I go fishing because instead of buying new hooks, I just bring your videos with me and I’ll be supplied for life Kappa. Seriously tho, great vid, always great to refresh myself on DMCA stuff and royalty free music for streams/ KZbin.

[@GamerXenith]

I was surprised Pretzel Rocks wasn't on your list. o: I don't stream often, but I actually really liked that their bot would send messages in chat with credits for each song (on the free plan). It was less for me to worry about and the artists were being credited, which I try to prioritize since I appreciate the music. ^^

[@StreamScheme]

I’ve covered Pretzel before :) I tried to keep the list short but varied.

[@brunomoreira622]

I already used pretzel one time, and i got a muted vod because of a music on pretzel, i don't trust anymore

[@Kelses]

@@brunomoreira622 I still get muted. Twitch uses a third party company to scan the VODs for music, and they don't follow any guidelines Twitch has with any agreed partner music programs like Pretzel Rock. A simple appeal unmutes the section in question. Never had a problem with any copyright strikes.

[@jo_rellvs..]

I'm a Game Streamer mostly.. This Evening I'm in a Mood for Music.. And thought it'd be fun to choose a bunch of my Fav's and just Play them to my Channel and Tell my Feelings and why music is soo Soul Cleansing.. Share my Love through my Playlist.. IS THIS A PIPE DREAM.. Where do I even start this Adventure..

[@Zil67]

I've been a bit worried about my music use. Glad there's a vid about it. I use spotify. I have a playlist of "loyalty free" music I've picked out of my fav genre, with artists like NCS and and Hyper Potions. The whole rights stuff confuses me because you usually have to go straight to a label to get that permission and some labels are hard to contact. Like BEC Recordings and Tooth and Nail records. My brother didn't even know how I could contact BEC regarding his bands first album.

[@BucketsNZ]

Thank You Eljay appreciate the heads up

[@syrpentina]

I would caution against NCS. I used them and certain songs were muted in my VODs... and because theyre muted you wont know which song is claimed if your songs are randomized

[@ParallaxSound315]

The copyright reason is why I use my own music/music that I was given permission to use, whether it's bands that have publicly said it's okay, or it's music by friends of mine that they have given me permission to use

[@YoteWorld]

Good to meet you at PAX this weekend, keep up the good work and great educational content 👏

[@StreamScheme]

Much appreciated! Did we get a Polaroid? Tweet it at me if we did!

[@twopintzVT]

I thought the splitting thing was safe - glad to learn it's not before I started using it! Cheers chap.

[@jasoncamps77]

Our channel only uses music we've received permission for or a few songs from the KZbin library, and we credit as requested. Having said that, as he said, copyrights can change hands and agreements can expire, or artists can simply change their minds. Unless you have a contract in place, it's all informal and subject to change. Every content creator should learn at least the basics of intellectual property laws. There's plenty of KZbin videos that will get you started.

[@saltybfm]

So many big streamers still think it’s ok to play copyright music but not save it to the VOD… the amount of misinformation that flies around is scary! Thank you for making this video! Started streaming in May and have been all over Gamechops and a couple other retro game remixers that are copyright free! It’s perfect!

[@kingofjuice4087]

I came here for that, and that's what I'm going to do because midi music or any other form of that isn't going to stop me from relating and having fun

[@patrikmedia]

I know a lot of Twitch streamers with thousands of viewers that play popular music while streamings. I feel like they should really know that it's safe, why else would they risk to get their account terminated with hundreds of thousands of followers?

[@NickJay]

@@patrikmedia Agreed. I do, too. I could name 2 or 3 BIG streamers off the top of my head who play 'popular music' (ie copyrighted) all the time but don't keep videos or don't include them on the VODs if they do. So having watched this, I'm more confused than ever. Oh well.

[@Roshea]

DMCA was established by a bunch of dysgenic gargoyle-looking lobbyists. It may be law but it impedes creation of transformative content. Any work around to fool the systems should be abused.

[@Lex-pw7xw]

I've only gotten muted once so far, and you know what caused it? Playing Disney Dream Light Valley 🤦‍♀️ I guess Micky wasn't too happy, haha. But this is very helpful! You break everything down so well! I was very confused when I first read the TOS, then went into Twitch extension and saw some Spotify ones. The one I see a lot is a Spotify widget that shows what song you're playing. I wish Twitch would remove the extension because it's very misleading.

[@TodaysAudrey]

I *just* started streaming as a musician who plays and sings covers...3 months ago when I was considering streaming at all, I asked a Partner Streamer if this was a fruitless idea because I'd just get banned immediately and he assured me over and over that covers are okay and I of course noticed that every musician streamer I watched does non-original music at least some of the time. Is there any leeway for musical covers or are we SOL too? Like I should quit streaming and only try to produce music FOR other streamers to use?

[@PeaceKeepingMissile]

There was a royalty free music group on like Newgrounds and I submitted something to it and found it being used in a Halo 3 machinima. Shit was awesome even had me in the credits. Make music that you want someone to hear... someone will hear it!

[@catqb9188]

Been following :) love that you covered this the DAY I was talking about this is chats. I use epidemic sound. Pay a sub fee. Supports the artists. No copy right worries... Cause I PAID lol

[@Aratonati]

I don't play music in my gameplay streams, but does _in-game_ music count? (assuming it's a game that plays their OST like Terraria)

[@Kuzipa]

usually not. a game is played by millions over the world so people know the music already. you should be safe!

[@helkit10]

Depends on the game, ALWAYS check if they have a stream safe option. Many games use copyrighted music and you can get a strike for it playing even though it's in game because you are technically profiting off their art by playing it in your stream.

[@tmac1827]

Video is very helpful! but is there a way to connect your streamdeck to epidemic sound???

[@willt.4787]

Managed to make it halfway through the video before you revealed this is a sponsored ad for a paid product! Well done!

[@StreamScheme]

I actually wrote the whole video and then I reached out to several of the Music options I used to ask if they wanted to sponsor it and give a free trial, or discount to viewers, because I know paid options are hard for beginners. Epidemic said yes, and also let me keep all the free options in the video.

[@corrinagaia]

This is what worries me still. I have this Spotify and idk if I can use it when streaming. So, I need clear instructions on that. I want to respect every piece of music, I do. But this scares me and most of my streams are all muted and I don't like a silent video streams.

[@awildgiodudeappears]

Chillhop was pretty easy for me to set up on Twitch cause you can just link your account from their site but tbh I'm stuck on how to actually set up gamechops or ncs on twitch. Do i do this through obs? Do you have a video on this?

[@Rathgar-cl3uo]

sound track by twitch (beta) is one of the things that has many doing the live music not in vod idea. actually one of their selling points. if you get live muted by harris heller or instrasomething it does split the track and you still get the mute. And basically eljayem says its using music it shouldn't but telling you its ok to do so.

[@Sharonneke.h]

I streamed with gamechop and chillhop before, and for Twitch those work great. But in uploading my vods to youtube, I've gotten several DMCA notices for those services, because according to YT their music resembles other music too much. Upon listening to what YT flagged and what they compared it with, I must say I agree. Not saying you shouldn't use or anything, just saying you should still be vigilant

[@Fox_GB_]

Another great video, Thank you. Can I make a suggestion...I use 'soundtrack by Twitch', It's completely free but you do need to make sure it's not saved to your vod and should only be used on Twitch.

[@StreamScheme]

I’m not a fan of sound track by twitch because the music I use in stream is such a integral part of the content, so if it is taken of the VoD it makes a worse experience.

[@dd_gaming3836]

So question, wanting to support local artists I know. So I'm thinking in the beginning of my stream where I talk about what's new and on our agenda for the day, I also promote local artists with their permission of course should I need to worry about anything as long as I have their permission in writing? Nvm about another min or so in you cover this

[@saloscontent]

i just was waiting for the sponsor ;D hahaha

[@Yorm_]

So what you’re saying is I need to get in the studio and make some of my own music

[@TheMadogcotk]

Just curious if you know anything about Artlist? I've used them and had a few songs get muted on my stream, but the Artlist team says I own rights to the songs. I would love to hear your opinion if you think this music site is safe to use.

[@StreamScheme]

Used it back in the day, not bad! I just found having a second paid sub I wasn't using was a bit eh. These days it's purely the ones from the video, minus StreamBeats.

[@oscarzapata117]

Love the videos can you do a video on how you have the music set up and how to add it into slobs?

[@StreamScheme]

[@Sparky2d70]

How did you set up a short cut for your stream deck to change music?

[@alexanderbengtsson830]

I am just getting into streaming. I have looked around and can't seem to find an answer to this. Can you play music from the same game you are streaming, during starting screens and such?

[@xxfinnitxx]

Do you have a vid on how to add the music onto your streams? Like in OBS? if you do sorry for the question lol.

[@neveser]

I'd like to use my own music but I'm worried about getting hit. KZbin hit me 3 times for it and I had to explain to them each time that it's my music. I think I'll probably end writing some specific music for streaming vs using my released music. Better to be safe that sorry.

[@twitch.tv.xsirhobbitx]

I'm a small streamer with like 60 followers and got a copyright strike even though I don't play music in my streams to avoid problems.

[@Satguy_Gaming_Club]

I do not understand why it can't be as easy as setting up an extension to cite the title and artist on the stream (which twitch already has) and set it so that viewers can't record the music. we can all listen to music on services and radio, why can't we do it while we are on stream while playing our games.

[@StreamScheme]

Because you’re earning money from it and using it without permission. Otherwise anyone could take and use anything they want, even your content, I could just re-upload all of it, we need copyright.

[@maximilianvangrevenbroek]

I have one question. I hear big streamers like TheBausffs play famous music in the background when he is live (probably a spotify playlist). This music is obviously copyrighted, but why doesn't he get problems? Is it because the music is not loud enough for systems to pick it up? like, how?

[@Astronomo1]

I was going to ask the same thing. Same with Asmongold and Esfand. Asmon still uses Spotify on his stream.

[@LykosSenpai]

Wasn't someone working on making a plugin that would open the same music you were listening to in its proper source website and the viewer would have it synced via the plugin but it would count as a unique view. allowing you to listen to music, not have it in your stream, yet allow your viewers to listen along with you at the same time? Or am i just crazy?

[@LofiChillBeatzzz]

The very opening line of this video: exactly. Why do Spotify and Twitch both have, in their TOS.... words in effect, blocking people from using any music... even something like StreamBeats? I was arguing with people on Reddit (yes, I know), who insist that StreamBeats isn't legally ok, because of Spotify's TOS. What's the real story? Where is legal proof that it's all ok? Am I the only one out here who is completely confused by all this s--t?

[@thefakebanette3483]

I use glitchy city myself. There channel is mostly pokemon music remixes with so many choices you can find anything to fit the mood

[@ReallyNotTrixYT]

Another one I'd recommend is ElectroDanceMixes - not all of the mixes they do are copyright free, but they do 1 hour Copyright Free EDM mixes every couple of months. I just pop them into a playlist and I'm set

[@sillysumi]

can i still use sound alerts with copyrighted music?

[@doggowantssauce]

So, unchecking your music track fom the Twitch audio track option on OBS won't save you from a DMCA strike?

[@carterharris6561]

does this account for music in the game as well? like a games soundtrack that was made by the game itself?

[@AkiraElMittico]

My music channel got suspended for playing copyright FREE music , also had permission from some authors , still got permanent suspended . I didn't get any strike, no vods , I stopped streaming 10 months ago, then I got suspended 10 monts later lol

I'm sketched out by any outside music since I got copyright claimed for in-game music. Fallouts got a lot of good music but even though its music coming from the game its muted it on many occassions.

Thank you for the info. Just as a bit of constructive feedback, saying "I'll tell you later in the video" or "I'll show you in a bit" is usually a sure way to make people skip ahead or lose interest. People's attention span's are shorter and shorter and most want instant gratification. This having been said, again, thanks for the info and for the work that you put into making this video!

[@StreamScheme]

Hey, it's actually the opposite. It's called "Looping" and it increases retention rate because you're promising they'll learn more later. The same reason we add hooks or highlights at the start to get people hooked into the video. Peoples attention span is short, so they need to know its worth their time.
