  • Twitch Fair Use can be a complex subject BUT I make it EASY Twitch tutorial video. Under Twitch COPYRIGHT rules, use of other people’s music, video, or images is prohibited … unless you can use Fair Use on Twitch. I discuss Twitch Fair Use rules and show you examples of how other Twitch Creators use Fair Use rules on Twitch. By the end of the video, you will understand Twitch copyright rules and Twitch Fair Use rules and you will avoid your Twitch channel ever getting taken down from Twitch copyright strikes.

    There is a fun little bit about twitch that pertains to users such as myself, that existed on the platform before the platform name change. the original EULA that was agreed upon was a legal bypass. stating that Justin.tv (twitch) takes no responsibility for content produced by creator's channels and that any person(s) or companies that wish to seek legal actions in accordance with these productions, it falls to the copyright holder to research the creator's personal information and that Justin.tv(twitch) shall not violate it's users rights of private information and will not supply such information to any outside sources.
    This wonderful bit has protected me throughout the years (13 years of streaming) and has actually brought up some rather fun legal battles where-in I didn't even have a lawyer present. I looked to the judge and the filing agency and stated that all media used was either privately purchased (protected under the same legislation that allows you to play music while driving with your windows open) or that it is easily and readily accessible content provided via the internet. the same goes for when I DJ via livestream. I'm paying for a broadcaster's liscense, and paying for access to a music library, if said library has copyrighted content and I broadcast it through a livestream, there is no legal recourse they can take against myself as the license and access are from another provider and I have a legally binding framework of affirmation that the content is available for use.
    All of which is protected thanks to a 2016 lawsuit where sony went after 15 popular streamers for playing a video game without a copyright release agreement ($50,000 value each). The judge sided with the streamers that so long as they came into possession of the copyrighted content through lawful means (purchase, donations, etc) that they have the right to broadcast their gameplay of such content. The wonderful thing of this judgement was the wording, in it the judge didn't refer to the games as games, he referred to them as media, and in his final judgement he used the term media. There in, When it comes to all media (games, music, movies, etc), so long as you came across it without pirating/hacking it. it's considered public domain.
    Oh, and as for the bit of fun. Since most of these companies would use 3rd parties to find my personal information, I was able to file stalking with malicious intent against them. So long as I don't hire anyone to handle my company (editing, streaming, production, etc) I'm still considered a private citizen working for myself. and still protected from stalking. as for the malicious intent, I had to explain it to a judge so I'll explain it here, they were looking me up with the sole intent of causing physical, psychological, or financial harm to myself. (taking down my channel, blackening my name, or fining me). As the judges have said every time I enter a courtroom, "you play hardball, and you're good at it" with the judge presiding over my divorce saying "I don't understand why you aren't a lawyer..."

    You know Ian, I never use copyrighted music in my Twitch streams. All the gameplay I have permission from the game publishers with their general fan content policy granted to all streamers. The overlays I use in the live streams do contain copyrighted images from Google. but I edit these images in photoshop to make an overlay for my live stream. I do believe that is a fair use. Because I’m taking someone else’s art and transforming that art into my own. So in all honesty this doesn’t change my game plan because I have been following the rules/law

    • @fifaarw2998
      @fifaarw2998 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

  • @RockyVegaTV

    Best thing to do now is just separate your music from the VOD tracks in OBS. All the copyright strikes that happened recently were from clips and VODs so that should save a lot of grief.

    i personally feel if you pay for a subscription to a music service such as spotify or amazon music, you should be allowed to play any music from that platform as you are paying for said music and not acquiring it illegally AS LONG as you have the song name and artist name on your stream to give credit to the creator. and that should go for all art forms. you should be required to give credit to the artist when using any art form but it should be allowed to be used on stream.

    I get it I do. Thanks for the very valuable information. But it feels like playing games with handcuffs thinking about these rules while trying to enjoy gaming lol. It is so frustrating. Pay for Spotify to have the music but cant play Spotify while I am in a stream and from the looks of it I cant even just play silently, I have to do commentary the whole time :( oh well casual streaming will prob die for me. Wish music folks would just pair with twitch or something. Or artist sign up .. this makes me sad lol.

  • @MoosesValley
    @MoosesValley 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes, I think mash-ups and mixes should be part of Fair Use, because these can completely transform and/or combine the original works into something very different. Reaction videos should also count as Fair Use if they have a lot of their own commentary / reactions before and after (and maybe during) the copyrighted content which may be used.

    • @synophlex

      There is a reason they are nicknamed “copyright trolls”. At the end of the day record label execs and lawyers get rich while artists see nothing but the fans of their music punished.

    WOW! And first off, thanks for this info, it definitely helps. Second, if there's anyone who can help me with this DMCA issue, you might be able to. I've actually reached out to Twitch and Square Enix via trouble tickets to see if their legal teams can find a way to fix this issue. The question is how would we petition or see that the US Copyright Office (or whoever is in charge of that) can write an exception in the DMCA and copyright laws for people using in-game music/audio for the purpose of streaming/broadcasting it (the games including the inherent music/audio contained in them) on streaming platforms like Twitch and TH-cam? I'm curious if you might have any suggestions on how we can change some of these laws and rules which can help benefit both copyright holders and streamers/content creators just trying to share the content for their audiences to enjoy which inherently further promotes said copyrighted content.

Its like calling an employee a felon when theyre bringing the company money.*

    In my country, Germany, exists the popular old-wives'-tale of tolerance by law when a copyrighted song plays for less than 10 seconds.
    I suppose the idea spread, because many TV-shows like to do these short track-demos for pure reference - and consumers easily forget, that an official television-broadcaster can't pick content in a happy-go-lucky manner.
    Though demonstrating a few seconds of a music-piece should count as Fair Use - in my opinion - , I would never test my luck with famous songs played on the radio (or official game-soundtracks made by Nintendo).

    I imagine you have other fair use videos on here, but I have a question do you think reaction videos could fall under fair use, I understand most people don't do them right cause they show normally the whole video they are reacting to not just the points when they have reactions.
    Oh wow you made a small point about reactions on here too but heats the case when it comes to TH-cam over twitch.

    • @yoursocialmedialawyer
      @yoursocialmedialawyer  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great question! YT has admitted on air that they approve of REACTION videos -- however, as you rightly point out, they have to be done correctly (short clip, comment directly about clip). However, reaction is not a category of Fair Use currently recognized by most countries and US law (see Title 17 US Code 107). So, it is risky BUT it is currently the second most highly-watched category of YT videos, so you've been informed!

    There really is a fair use of music that can happen on Twitch or TH-cam, without permission of the copyright owner, but such fair use conditions hardly ever happen.
    For a "how to have fair use of music" example, see a TH-cam video critique of the live performance by Hong Kong pop music singer Jane Zhang of the impossible song from the movie "The 5th Element". That critique starts at th-cam.com/video/97C1v9Clh_o/w-d-xo.htmlm10s in the TH-cam video "Voice Teacher Reaction to Jane Zhang - Diva Dance LIVE from the 5th Element". They say that it took Jane Zhang only 3 months or so to learn to step out of the pop music genre to a sufficient degree to be able to sing that song at a professional level with a live symphony orchestra.
    I foresee a future where some e-girl or gamer girl occasionally gets pre-approval Twitch or TH-cam for doing music reaction streams or music reaction videos in simultaneous collaboration with one or two or three music experts. I predict that as copyright law gets more severe, spontaneous e-girl only or gamer girl only reactions at the request of chat room members and subscribers will decrease, and pre-approved music reaction events in conjunction with music experts will increase. This trend will work against small subscriber count TH-camrs such as some 15 year old operating out of his or her parents basement, since almost no music experts will work for just pocket change. Millionaire TH-camrs though can hire for an evening or two a whole panel of experts sufficiently qualified to be likely to obtain Twitch or TH-cam pre-approval for a music critique event.

      @@yoursocialmedialawyer , I am glad that my comment could help you out in restoring some freedom to the Internet.
      Copyright law is in 2 different ways in the process of taking freedom from the Internet during the first quarter of the 21st Century.
      1. As described by 7 million subscriber count TH-cam member penguinz0 in the 3 million view count December 2020 video "Going to Jail for DMCA Strike", receiving a Twitch or TH-cam copyright complaint on future streams or videos that result in a monetary gain could, especially in America, result in up to a $30,000 fine per valid copyright complaint, and up to 3 to 10 years in prison per valid copyright complaint.
      2. Up to a copyright year of 1922, the "little guy" who does not have resources to do copyright research on a specific copyright work can with reasonable safety operate under what amounts to a 100 year rule. Now in the year 2021, if you play some old Thomas Edison type of phonograph record from the year 1921 or earlier, even if the heirs of that phonograph singer of long ago complain to TH-cam, as long as you can prove that that phonograph record was from the year 1921 or earlier, you are not getting sent to prison for 3 to 10 years in America for play of that phonograph on TH-cam, and in addition TH-cam will not use copyright violation ban your video from view in most countries. However, for copyrights that happened in the year 1923 or later, the little guy who does not have the resources do research on a particular copyright work should be operating on a roughly 150 year rule. If you play a phonograph from the year 1923 and you cannot do the research on that particular phonograph record, you should wait until at least 150 years after the year 1923, the year 2073 to do so, or else there is a dangerously high chance that you could get sent to prison in America for 3 to 10 years for the play of that long ago phonograph record from the year 1923.
      My belief is that too much of history is already banned from view due to what amounts to a 100 year copyright rule and a 150 year copyright rule. In theory one could receive a TH-cam copyright ban for proving photographicly that the Holocaust, the sending of Jews in Nazi Germany to death camps in World War 2 during the 1940s, was not just a myth. The ban for multiple copyright violation would on the grounds that copyright complained photographs from the 1940s were from less than 150 years ago, meaning that the photographs would therefore be under a reasonable suspicion of truly still being under copyright. Now in America in early 2021, unless Congress in America changes its mind by roughly mid-February of 2021, showing a historical photograph on a future TH-cam video of a Jew being put on a railway wagon while in transit to a Nazi German World War 2 death camp could in theory get the TH-camr involved with posting such photography 3 to 10 years in prison, if one or more resulting TH-cam videos collectively make even $0.01 of income. The combination of what amounts to a 150 year copyright rule with the new felony copyright violation law in America prevents too much of historical interest from being known about in a widespread manner.
      For copyright length, I propose 48 years. Publishers have tricks for extending copyright by a number of months, so in practice a 50 year rule would be in effect. A NASA astronaut from the time of the Moon landing would, if a nominally 48 year rule is instituted, be free to post a TH-cam video of his Moon exploits without worry of being sent to prison for 3 to 10 years, and without worry of his TH-cam video being taken down for receiving a copyright complaint based on showing contemporaneous sights or sounds on the Moon or on Earth from the time that the Moon landings happened some 50 years ago, around the year 1970.

    We are not reinventing the wheel. We are broadcasting digitally. Here is a law that is over 40 years old that should apply.
    Blanket Licence
    The blanket license has long been recognized as the most efficient and convenient way of clearing copyrights in the United States. It would be time consuming and expensive for you to locate, contact and negotiate with all copyright holders prior to the performance of each song you plan to play.
    The U.S. Supreme Court summarized the virtues of the blanket license in CBS v. Broadcast Music, Inc., 441 U.S. 1 (1979) as follows:
    "... the blanket license developed ... out of the practical situation in the marketplace: thousands of users, thousands of copyright owners and millions of compositions. Most users want unplanned, rapid and indemnified access to any and all of the repertory of compositions and the owners want a reliable method of collecting for the use of their copyrights...
    "A middleman with a blanket license was an obvious necessity if the thousands of individual negotiations, a virtual impossibility were to be avoided. Also, ...(individual licenses would pose) a difficult and expensive reporting problem for the user and policing task for the copyright owner. Historically, the market for public performance rights organized itself largely around the single-fee blanket license, which gave unlimited access to the repertory and reliable protection against infringement."

    DJ sets and mashups should be fair use. Up until DMCA, it took a physical police officer to write a citation. With DMCA, we are allowing AI to computer generate millions of citations at once. I feel that we need to outlaw machines from governing us before its too late. DMCA gives AI an advantage in solving crimes and complex futuristic problems, but it shouldn't step in the way of modern day culture creators. I have been doing a DJ set on twitch and will be using their "appeal" feature and claim fair use. Then maybe it will at least force a physical "cop" of some sort to review each claim IRL. I recommend more DJ's do this in their sets to slow down and clutter the entire system until its impossible to govern.

    If the only issue with gameplay is that it's not transformative and the person is not making it their own then wouldn't be easy solution to that just be to always be talking and engaging with the viewers? The specific course of gameplay that you do is always going to be your own because you are the one doing it it's not a pre-programmed action that's in the game they didn't make your playstyle they didn't custom animate what you're doing specifically. Taken as a whole it's not just gameplay footage, its running commentary and engagement. Also if it's against the rules to stream gameplay footage without some form of commentary or other transformative element is it also illegal for me to have friends over at my house and they see me playing a game that they didn't buy? It's perfectly reasonable that I could lend someone a video game. It's perfectly reasonable that I could lend 100 people a video game. If that's not against the rules then what's the problem. You buy a video game as a piece of interactive media and the people watching the stream or not engaging with it as interactive media. They don't get the experience of actually playing the game they just get to watch me do it. I think if pressed enough there really isn't much illegal about it. I'm not distributing the game to people for free. If they choose to consume the game in a way where they only want to see or know the story and don't actually mind not playing at themselves then why do we not copyright strike wikipedia for having story summaries of the games? It's the exact same principle! By extension every piece of music featured in the game was put there through licensing and requires extra effort to be played more than just putting in a disk solely dedicated to that music. If a game that I am playing has a really popular song featured in it and I play it with a group of 10 or 20 or even 100 friends that's perfectly fine because I'm not charging them to be there so it's not like I'm making money off of somebody else's media. I think really modern copyright laws are just not built to handle any kind of live media sharing. Every rule is outdated. If gaming companies wanted people to buy the game and play it themselves otherwise they don't get to see or know anything about it then they are going to have to take down all of the story summaries and screenshots that exist on the Internet as well because it's all the exact same thing. In fact those things are even less transformative because they are just direct information without any kind of secondary service to draw the audience (a commentary or something extra).
