VODs being deleted doesn't seem so bad anymore, as they're entirely useless now anyway

Since I usually put anything good from my twitch over to youtube anyway I've been doing this for sometime. If it's something that may end up on youtube I mute my music.
Yes.

Believe me when I say that the entirety of the Twitch archive will have gotten a whole lot quieter by the end of the week.
Sure, the livestreaming will be unaffected. That may partly be due to technical issues, but I'll guarantee you that they're knowingly doing this, since it would effectively end the platform as we know it and that's what scares them. The false flags will be many, the time spent rectifying them will be beyond reason, but maybe, just maybe, a few more artists from Jamendo etc. will get some more recognition. So hey, it's not all bad!
By the way, they're doing this in thirty minute chunks because that's exactly how long a separate VOD chunk is that's saved across their CDN.

Man...
Prime example right fucking here and it's even worse here because adam_ak speedruns this game
You don't want to watch VODs with entire 30 minute chunks of audio missing? Crazy!

So I guess the SS Twitan (My best attempt at making a pun between "Twitch" and "Titan") was on a return trip to England when she encountered Google Fog™ and hit a Content ID-berg....

Hello Hitbox!

Zelda?! Holy shit. That's a lot of muted speedrun VODs. If MOBA or FGC music is matched too that's like half of Twitch's top viewed shit muted.
Seems like if they can handle the load, it's about to get a whole lot more popular.

I'm a small streamer, and this is what I think I'll be trying out over the next while. However, Twitch already has the market nailed, so it's just hoping that the masses move to Hitbox.

I actually agree, giving them that much control over how their game is presented after release sucks, but I'm also sympathetic to Twitch needing something to cover themselves when companies start banging on their door with copyright claims. This solution just burns everything though.

Licensed music like in GTA games was always going to be an issue, so I really hope that's as far as the in-game music content matching goes.
And what will you move to when that is forced to implement similar features?

Yeah. I can interact with viewers instantly on hitbox now too. I hate that it lags for like 30 seconds in twitch now so the interaction is lost as a result.
Probably but at least I've secured myself over there, lol.
Move on to the next one, of course! Gafbox in 2020?
Hitbox is based in Austria though. Maybe they'll be ok?

RIP Twitch 
How does them being in Austria safeguard against copyright claims?
Where Google could be using this as an opportunity to increase discoverability and lead potential customers to purchases that they could generated revenue from, they're running the opposite direction.
Why not display advertising links to purchase the music? Google has their own music service now, so it seems silly. If they can match and identify audio, surely they could develop a platform to send customers to a purchase page if they so chose.
Absolutely bizarre. Leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

Oh man, is this really true? I didn't think that a gaming stream service would actually resort to blocking game music or sounds. What a complete and utter disaster.
Twitch really didn't think this through, did they?
Now this is worrying.

Ok, now we can freely panic and send Twitch to hell.
Of course, we knew it was coming, sooner or later. Googly buyout wasn't the critical factor, once Twitch gained popularity, it was clear it was going to be threatened to be sued to hell by the music label. They always were in a grey legal limbo.
