The statements he made drew in mixed reactions, with many users expressing doubt over streamers having &quot;teams&quot; behind them:&quot;What are they actually doing for him and other creators?&quot;djWHEAT implies xQc has &quot;bad management&quot;The current platform-wide controversy on Twitch involves the act of streaming copyright media that many streamers have partaken in. Others have voiced their displeasure over it, likening it to a ticking time bomb.djWHEAT@djWHEATLots of people are getting on @xQc for continuing to stream content he doesn’t own but maybe it’s time to start pointing out just how worthless his own management team must be to let it happen.

Anything less and you are under bad management.Marcus &quot;djWHEAT&quot; Graham, a member of Twitch's staff, brought out another viewpoint on the whole discussion of streaming copyrighted media, drawing attention to the team members in charge of managing streamers doing the same.In this case, he head-on tagged Felix &quot;xQc&quot; Lengyel, who has recently switched from streaming MasterChef US (following Hasan &quot;HasanAbi&quot; Piker receiving a copyright takedown for the same), to streaming the anime Hunter X Hunter.djWHEAT attempted to convey that while streamers are at fault for choosing to stream risky content, the management teams behind these streamers are also at fault for not protecting their clients. He stated that their teams were essentially &quot;jeapordising&quot; the careers of their streamers by letting them stream copyrighted content.Several Twitch users replied to his take with mixed reactions. Many were skeptical of streamers having a team behind them, while others chose to call out Twitch itself for its inaction.Zero Period | George@0period@djWHEAT @xQc The same could be said for any of the big streamers who have been doing this, Hasan, xQc, etc. Then you have Pokimane who is running her own talent management service now and is doing this.

Do larger companies just not care about folks restreaming their stuff?During the tail-end of December 2021, Ben &quot;Cohh Carnage&quot; Cassell posted a question on his Twitter account, asking if streaming copyright media on Twitch was even allowed. This was prompted by the number of big streamers that had hopped on the meta that is still overtaking Twitch to this day.djWHEAT@djWHEAT@CohhCarnage It’s absolutely not ok. Just like it has never been ok to stream music. This is just as DMCA’able as anything else. Hard to say why streamers have not been targeted, but just like music, it’s probably just a matter of time. This is not an official Twitch take, just my own.02:24 AM · Dec 27, 20216458@CohhCarnage It’s absolutely not ok. Just like it has never been ok to stream music.

He wasn't alone in his take by far, with Michael &quot;Shroud&quot; Grzesiek stating that it was &quot;only a matter of time&quot; before heavy action struck down on all the offenders.Chance &quot;Sodapoppin&quot; Morris also slammed xQc, bewildered by his courage to stream Hunter X Hunter after his friend HasanAbi was hit with a copyright takedown for streaming MasterChef US.
