Twitch streamers have to be careful right now, and not play any Copyright music during their live streams. A plethora of streamers have already been issued with DCMA strikes, but some such as TimTheTatman and Esfand are finding hilarious workarounds.
Others, such as Kaceytron, have been hit hard, even being taken offline during a live stream, ironically while reading about Copyright.
TimTheTatman and Esfand - How to avoid DCMA strikes
While this is no joke to many streamers out there, it is great to see how some can find humour in the DCMA strikes. Both TimTheTatman and Esfand have shown their audience how to avoid DCMA strikes.
TimTheTatman shows us how to avoid DCMA strikes by using his headset to listen to music while turning off his stream's sound.
Esfand, on the other hand, takes things one step further and shows us how to avoid DCMA strikes by singing a song himself.
Sure, he doesn't have the greatest singing voice, but it is better than getting DCMA'ed into oblivion.
Kaceytron gets taken offline
Streamer Kaceytron appears to have been DCMA'ed while streaming herself reading what Copyright is, listening to music which sounds quite a bit like Mozart.
Most of her previous broadcasts have also been taken offline, as there is a big gap between "eight hours ago" to "four years ago" in her archived videos section on her Twitch.tv channel, which has over 500,000 followers.
