Twitch streamer unbanned after copping DMCA strike twice for same clip Twitter: OmegaProYT \/ TwitchTwitch streamer \u2018OmegaPro\u2019 has had his account wrongfully \u201cterminated\u201d after being hit by two DMCA strikes for the same clip. However, the platform has reversed the decision two days after it was made. This article has been updated to reflect Twitch unbanning OmegaPro\u2019s account. DMCA takedowns are commonplace on Twitch, especially now in 2021 with record labels and others cracking down on what gets used on the platform. However, a streamer getting struck twice for the same clip is unheard of. That\u2019s reportedly what happened to OmegaPro though, a variety streamer who broadcasts everything from GTA RP to JRPGs. After serving a two-day ban for a DMCA strike, OmegaPro was struck immediately with a new ban after going live on May 12. \u201cI got banned for the same VOD that I was banned for last week, a VOD that\u2019s already been deleted,\u201d he said on Twitter.

The streamer got it back within 48 hours on May 14, thanking his fans for all the support. \u201cI just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone that supported me during this entire ordeal,\u201d he said on Twitter. \u201cSo many individuals reached out to me personally to try and help me with nothing to gain at all. The outpouring support truly meant the world to me. I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone that supported me during this entire ordeal.

I think an amazing place to start would be to wipe the strikes after a 90 day period, similar to how YouTube currently handles it and how Twitch handles other TOS violations. \u201cI understand that the DMCA issue is a nuanced one, but I don\u2019t see a reason why DMCA violations should be a permanent mark on your channel.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
