KEEMSTAR Gets Top Twitch Streamers Unbanned After Interscope Records \u201cAccidentally\u201d Copyright Striked for Music A number of top Twitch streamers woke up on Friday June 22nd to discover their channels had been banned for 24 hours, after DMCA strikes were imposed for music playing during live streams. Streamers included Felix \u201cxQc\u201d Lengyel, TSM\u2019s Daequan, KittyPlays, Castro1021, pokelawls, Avxry and League of Legends player for Cloud 9 \u2018Sneaky\u2019 to name few. It became clear that these were strikes imposed for playing music on stream, with rumors claiming it was songs from the artist \u201cJuiceWRLD\u201d, although it is unclear exactly if the strikes were limited to this one artist or multiple. dam, 24hr suspension on twitch for listening to juice wrld feelsveryweirdman ??????? \u2014 Jay Won (@sinatraa) June 22, 2018 Due to the ongoing Friday Fortnite tournament, host and organizer Daniel \u201cKEEMSTAR\u201d Keem was determined to have all participants unbanned and able to stream, and so took it upon himself to pursue the situation.

KEEMSTAR explains that it was an automated system that had striked the channels, similarly to how it might strike a YouTube video or Soundcloud track that features copyrighted content. JuiceWRLD is signed to Interscope, so it would make sense that he was one of the artists which had perhaps been picked up by the automated system. DMCA are retracted for @TSM_Daequan & @Avxry now waiting on @Twitch Talked to interscope they said there automatic system hit big streamers by accident. Other big streamers claims will be lifted later today. Had to rush on those two for #FridayFortnite that starts in 40 mins \u2014 KEEM (@KEEMSTAR) June 22, 2018 Although it is technically not permitted to play copyrighted music, or even cover copyrighted songs, without permission from the copyright holder on Twitch, it is a rule very rarely enforced. Twitch has its own large library of music which is permitted to be played on stream, which you can find at music.twitch.tv\/ KEEMSTAR however sent a direct message to Twitch, saying a direct line for appeals is needed, especially when large tournaments such as Friday Fortnite rely on Twitch streams. As of now, it looks like all the streamers who were subject to a ban now have their channels reinstated, with some thanking KEEMSTAR directly for intervening. OHHHHH SHITTTTTT THE HOMIE @KEEMSTAR GOT ME UNBANNED FROM TWITCH!!!!!! YO KEEM, YOU INVITED TO THE BIGGEST #WorldCup HOUSE VIEWING PARTY TOMORROW\u2026\u2026..
