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.

'Ello ello ello, just me back again rolling the boulder up the hill trying to convince people not to break copyright laws, if its all too complicated, then just check out Epidemic sound instead :) share.epidemicsound.com/streamschemeJUN24

[@DrPanda-kf8cu]

honestly i reccomend playing music on a speaker in the background, mic hardly picks it up and I get to enjoy music

[@MagusMoon]

Thank you so much! This info helped me a lot! I was always worried about this!

[@Tobinger.]

But is there any good explanation for why pretty much 100% are just listening on Spotify to whatever they want and just keep it out of the vod? Never heard anything about strikes. Is like every twitch partner suddenly permitted to use the music?

[@Sassy_T]

I'm a twitch partner and I've had a couple of warnings about a certain song in my stream, but it's just a heads up, I've not had a proper claim, we're allowed 3 strikes before we're nuked. I do leave my music (from di.fm) out of the vods though as I'm paranoid lol

[@BIGTempaa]

I got told that most simply remove the track from saving to their VOD making it harder to be detected. However, you can still be caught LIVE by a twitch staff member or the artist/producers, or reported by your worst enemy 🥴 I had these same thoughts, so I just asked a growing streamer what they do for their music and that was their reply.

[@Coach_Bimbaj]

​@@BIGTempaa I streaming same time KZbin and Twitch. Im not save music on Twitch VOD but how to deal with KZbin?

[@StreamScheme]

The explanation is in the video, Strikes need to be initiated BY THE RIGHTS HOLDER. The same reason people didn't get in trouble for years, UNTIL a few years ago when suddenly hundreds of people were banned overnight, and thousands forced to delete years worth of clips and content on other platforms. It's like when you're a kid and there is a candle on the table, and you keep waving your hand over it cause its fun and dangerous, you don't get burned every time, but then you knock it over spilling hotwax on yourself and being burned, learning your lesson.

[@evilsohn]

I‘m really looking forward to the twitch DJ program - finally my niche on twitch gets to stream without lurking in a legal gray area (if not in the blatant illegal zone)

[@StreamScheme]

Yeah! I didn't include it because it doesn't apply to most, but its pretty cool!

[@truthbetold6322]

All I need to know is not like us safe to use on Twitch 😅

[@FatBoiSam]

Love your vids! can you do a video on how to have your VOD not containing the music played during the stream??!!

[@average-jack]

I can explain very quickly. do you use OBS?

[@mysteriogaming478]

I’m starting twitch this September wish me luck everyone and I’ve got all the notes you have given to everyone on how to grown written down 😊

[@karsonpavey4511]

You have given me so much motivation, thank you❤ this is not for a plug I went on my other account to comment this!

[@Capnbarmy]

You put me on to Epidemic sound a long time ago - been using it since!

[@Fuzion-_]

Hope your well man! I have a question I never stream a game on YT before and I’m noticing in the preview of stream the quality goes to 480p max but says excellent connection. Does that mean my stream will be in 480p?

[@emileeellemment]

Do you have a video on how to split the audio? I want to listen to Spotify without having my stream hear it (it helps with my anxiety) and I cannot figure out how to do this. Every time I do it then my stream alerts no longer have sound on stream 😔

[@Tobinger.]

Just record don‘t add your audio as a source. And obviously don’t capture your entire sound. You can change what source Spotify goes to in your windows settings. I am using wave link to control my audio

[@emileeellemment]

@@Tobinger. Is wave link easy to use? I’ve tried so many things but I get confused so easily lol

[@BIGTempaa]

What mixer do you use? Like Voicemeeter, WaveLink etc... If you have the option, just YOUR play music on a different track and then mute that track on your BROADCASTING APP (OBS, Streamlabs, Tiktok LIVE).

[@Tobinger.]

@@emileeellemment It is for me. You just tell the app what inputs you wnat and the set that input in your windows settings for each app. then you can adjust the volumes and whether something goes to you monitor mix for yourself or the stream mix. I listen to the monitor mix and for obs I got my stream mix and additionally spotify to keep it out of vods. that's pretty much it

[@iniyama]

I don't know if this would help but if you have the option, you could try playing your music on a phone or something like alexa and turn the volume down enough so your mic doesn't pick it up?

[@its_just_sock]

i noticed your camera in your live was on the left side, im sure you have said previously you should have it on the right as twitch cover that side of the preview with viewer counts, is this not the case anymore?

[@StreamScheme]

I change it depending on the game so I don’t cover important information

[@its_just_sock]

@@StreamScheme sound advice, cheers mate :)

[@yeetusfeatus]

What about game ost's? I've used songs from games multiple times and I haven't had any trouble with fair usage or my stuff being copyright claimed. Would it hinder me in the future?

[@StreamScheme]

Depends on the game, all the same rules apply

[@yeetusfeatus]

@StreamScheme aight brother thanks

[@geophat75]

I dont like dmca. I think its all about the money. It is overly strict and i dont think it benefits the artist, the label that owns the rights, the streamer/creator, or the viewer.

[@StreamScheme]

You don't have to like it, but if you want to be a content creator, you'll be protected by DMCA either way. If you ever get big enough to be successful, you'll be glad that systems are in place to stop people using your content without permission.

[@HomeGrownWesley]

I like turtlez

[@alphadragongamingFTW]

The biggest problem with KZbin is their copyright system is not content creator friendly. It favors the person doing the strike and makes it easy to put a claim in but not as easy to fight the claim and in fact it is super easy to make false claims and harder to combat false claims. YT has probably one of the worst systems and they need to change it.

[@xVertigo101]

Exactly, I get random strikes for one-second sounds in my live streams from the game I'm playing. I don't listen to music or do anything that would cause a strike, yet randomly named channels with zero subscribers strike me.

[@RottenSoul589]

if you're not saving vods and only playing on live . is that still a issue with claims etc

[@StreamScheme]

Yes as explained in the video, that’s still breaking copyright

[@RottenSoul589]

@@StreamScheme ok thanks for info

Eljay I really need your help when someone writes a message in chat the message appears in the chatbox on stream with a delay of 10 seconds and I have low latency on. What should I do?
