So I know a Twitch streamer who has about 20 to 40 viewers, and who is playing Minecraft Lats Play with Spotify music in the background. But her account has still not been blocked even though she has been doing several hours. Because mostly only unknown songs are played on Spotify with unknown artists, from time to time mainstream songs like Billie Eilish z. B. But it seems Twitch isn't complaining about it. So I wanted to ask you if that is allowed?
Is a gray area because it is not recognized in live streams, but maybe the songs are copyright free or they are protected
No, unless it's NCS stuff. Streams may not be scanned live, but they can happen later. There are many who don't care, but prefer not to do it yourself. Of course, nothing speaks against copyright free.
No, actually not like that, because the following artists were played with: AVIVA, Unlike Pluto, MISSO, Besomorph etc…
This is copyright infringement, unless it is freely usable or you have a Liezens
But does not recognize Twitch and because nobody / not enough complains it goes on
They are known and most likely not copyright free
You can also play copyrighted music on twitch, nothing will happen. The area with copyright music is only muted in the repetition (VOD), which you can also watch after the stream
The whole thing is as follows on Twitch:
99% of the time on Twitch, only the VODs and clips are muted and you can get away with it. It's currently more of a gray area, actually it's not allowed, but most of them get away with it. It's a game with fire. Some are banned, many are not. If you want to remove the risk, you should resort to alternatives:
There are alternatives like StreamBeats by Harris Heller or the classic NCS, where the music can run in the background without any problems. https://www.pretzel.rocks/ is also a great site for this purpose.
