Disguised Toast banned while watching 'Death Note'
Earlier today, it was announced that Disguised Toast had been banned from Twitch while he was in the middle of streaming the finale of Death Note.
Owing to his prior record of streaming copyrighted media over the past few weeks (including Naruto and Avatar: The Last Airbender), Wang himself was expecting a ban anytime soon, along with others.
However, what was completely unexpected was Wang's suspension lasting a month. The news was announced on his Twitter, where he said he'd be back "in a month".
The ban time of one month is different from usual. Imane "Pokimane" Anys, suspended after watching Avatar: The Last Airbender on stream, was given 48-hours off Twitch.
HasanAbi, Ludwig, Sykkuno, and more react to Disguised Toast's ban length
After Wang's tweet went up, many people reacted in surprise, including friends and acquaintances Hasan "HasanAbi" Piker, Ludwig "Ludwig" Ahgren, and Zack "Asmongold", among many others.
Many members of the Twitch community felt the ban was "deserved" for attempting to push boundaries by messing with DMCA content and rules.
Quite a few netizens have theorized that Wang's ban length is longer owing to the number of strikes he might have amassed, as Death Note wasn't the only show he streamed. Over the past few weeks, the Canadian also watched the entirety of the original Naruto series, as well as Avatar: The Last Airbender (which caused Pokimane's suspension).
On the reverse side, the DMCA takedown Hasan "HasanAbi" Piker received for one of his MasterChef streams has been ultimately reversed. Supposedly, the takedown request was faked, and his stream was reinstated.
While celebrating his win, however, he made sure to let others know that he wasn't advocating for Twitch streamers to start watching anything and everything on stream.
