The latter received a two-day ban earlier today after she reacted to Avatar: The Last Airbender on stream.Even though one of the platform's biggest streamers got banned by Twitch, it seems like others don't fear the consequences at all, as seen by Disguised Toast's decision to stream Japanese anime Death Note today.CohhCarnage was furious with streamers like Toast and Pokimane, as he believes that they are risking the platform getting in trouble by streaming licensed content.Cohh Carnage@CohhCarnageI can't imagine any license holder doesn't take a look at what's going on and realizes how there are fundamental issues with both the creators AND the platform allowing it to happen. I hope Twitch is locked down legally because it's not a good look at all.5:13 AM · Jan 8, 20225237I can't imagine any license holder doesn't take a look at what's going on and realizes how there are fundamental issues with both the creators AND the platform allowing it to happen. I hope Twitch is locked down legally because it's not a good look at all.He further tweeted about how Twitch has done nothing to protect the platform from its many issues, and how they are waiting for the people who hold the rights to certain medias to approach them and send DMCA complaints to streamers, because they don't want to be part of any legal trouble.The situation has become so dire to some, that they even hope for the platform's shutdown, as they thinks that it has way too many issues that viewers and streamers have turned a blind eye towards.CaptainSparklez@CaptainSparklezIn 2007, Viacom sued Google for a billion dollars over infringing content uploaded to YouTube. 15 years later partnered streamers are watching full TV shows on Twitch with 1000's of viewers.

While the lawsuit was eventually settled years later, it did cause a massive headache for the platform, and it even led to Google developing Content ID to identify copyrighted content on the platform.CaptainSparklez believes that Twitch is about to face a similar lawsuit, thanks to the thousands of streamers who continuously react to TV shows and anime on stream. Furthermore, he also noted that these content creators will cause a load of problems for everyone involved with the platform by refusing to stop these reaction streams.Fans agreed with Maron's points about the situation, with many of the streamers particularly scared about the future.Chilled Chaos@ChilledChaos@CaptainSparklez Hi.
