Even if you have the license, you get muted. Heck, even VODs with no music at all are being muted lol

Wow... Silly. No one is entering a Twitch channel so they can hear music for free. If someone happens to hear a song they like in a Twitch channel they can just buy it afterward. Free publicity.
I hope so too, but he banks on speedrunning as a vocation...and a few do.
Are they willing to bail on what's essentially their job to go to somewhere else not poisoned by cancerous copyright bullshit?
Amazing hahaha
To be fair it sounded like the real do to me too.
considering i basically went on twitch to watch mtg/hearthstone archives and occasional events like sgdq/agdq (which i watched mostly via archive), i think my twitch usage just went from a fair number of hours weekly to close to zero.
while this is going to suck in the short term, there is zero doubt in my mind the internet will adapt, as it always does.

LoL? So every game video ever?
And i can already see twitch not working at all in germany

Good chance twitch will go the same way in germany
I truly have to wonder how long before all those people that were against commercial revenue sharing deals with music/content owners do a 180 after realizing that without such a setup all forms of VOD and Streaming will end up with full takedown/mutes everywhere.
Saw it coming long time ago.
Those are errors that can obviously be fixed, thats not the long term problem. The long term problem is for the folks without the license which is the large vast majority here.

If only part of the vid is muted, you can currently unmute it by pressing space twice.

Hahaha to all the people that said this wouldn't happen.
"No, they will not change anything."
"Nah, you're paranoid."
"Google knows how to keep Twitch making money."
Well, there's your answer. RIP in pieces Twitch.

I need a link to a before and after comparison. If true this is truly fucked.
No we are all dirty pirates that go to Twitch to listen to music for free!

I just don't get why a massive change like this is just flipped on like a switch without any thought or preparations in a company as massive as Twitch.
This will hardly matter since they're not attacking live broadcasts and they're not going to archive past broadcasts anymore. Once they start taking down live broadcasts for copyright reasons then it's over.
lol. Well they're already doing worse than I expected.

This is funny and sad at the same time.
Wario just posted that you can press spacebar twice over the affected parts of a 'claimed' Twitch VOD and disable the system
yea, posted here already
It's a only a matter of time.
If they can get revenue from Hitbox (which they seem to are willing to offer in a similar way to Twitch), sure. It's not entirely the same as with Youtube; for example when Classic Game Room moved from Youtube to Dailymotion, the site did not offer the same things Youtube did so it was unsustainable, and resulted in the channel coming back to Youtube. If Hitbox plays it's cards right, they may be able to have some retention.
Does that mean people can export their archive with the audio intact?
I'm guessing no.
edit: nevermind, reread the announcement it should be muted as well. Lame.

Mad at Google for the monopolistic buyout, mad at the music industry for shitty practices, and mad at Twitch for the terrible implementation.
Man this is terrible.
Also Lol@Twitch official VODs getting hit.

This seems like a good time to remind everybody that Hitbox has a like 3 second delay.
To be fair, it looks like that dude was playing music on his stream (on the side it says he's playing All-American Rejects).

Good intentions do not make you exempt from copyright law.
Regardless, muting of in-game audio is just inexcusable. They have a huge problem on their hands. I didn't expect so many false positives to pop up already.
Here is the thing. They just can't say hey we'll only stop the copyright infringement in VOD's but not live streaming. They've opened up Pandora's box. Live streaming "content id" is coming. Don't believe the lie Twitch is saying that they won't do it to live streaming. It has to happen now. They just can't selectively enforce it on their website.

Yup.
I picture the twitch HQ, bunch of assholes standing around, someone needs to give the engineers the order to activate the ACR system. A moment of silence, people looking around awkwardly, uneasiness on everyone's face. Then, an exec blurts out. "Where else are they going to go? hitbox.tv!?" He nods to the engineer.
Laughter. Clinking of champagne glasses.
