Disguised Toast banned from Twitch for watching copyright media
Earlier today, Jeremy "Disguised Toast" received a ban from Twitch for streaming copyrighted media during his livestream.
Wang seemed unphased by the ban, posting a light-hearted tweet feigning annoyance at Twitch staff for not having waited until the end of the episode he was watching.
Viewers in replies to the tweet said that he was expecting a ban from his actions. At the time of the ban, he was watching the last episode of Death Note, a single-season anime that originally aired from October 2006 to June 2007.
Prior to streaming Death Note, Wang had watched the entirety of the original Naruto series on stream, causing him to receive slack from a selective group of peers.
Following the ban, Rachell "Valkyrae" Hofstetter jokingly tweeted out "Free Toast," receiving over 15k likes instantly.
Wang replied to her tweet, sarcastically alluding to the fact that he had expected to get banned and wasn't surprised at all.
Streamers and followers react to Disguised Toast's ban
Following Wang's ban, many streamers, viewers, and friends of the content creator tweeted about the same, with emotion all across the board. Some of his friends commented on the ban, joking about the same.
Others were upset by his reaction, alluding to it being arrogant. Many were perplexed at his choice to continuously stream anime, despite knowing the risks it carried.
Overall, opinions on the situation regarding streaming copyrighted content seem to be aimed in different directions.
Following HasanAbi's reveal that the copyright-takedown he received for streaming MasterChef US was undone, a surge of content creators streaming similar shows may be seen by viewers.
