WillNeff reveals bizarre reason for DMCA Twitch ban Twitch: WillNeffTwitch streamer WillNeff has revealed the bizarre reason behind his Twitch ban, with a copyright claim that doesn\u2019t quite make much sense. In the early hours of Wednesday, May 5, WillNeff was suddenly banned from the platform, leaving both he and his viewers thoroughly perplexed. Will is a pretty big streamer on Twitch, having first set up his channel in 2016 after some pushing from friend HasanAbi, and since then they\u2019ve both grown and blown up in their own ways and become staples of the platform. That said, the Twitch ban hammer cares not for how long you\u2019ve been streaming or how many followers you have, and it struck Will for a very strange reason. Shortly after the ban happened, the streamer took to Twitter to explain what had happened and express his confusion over it. \u201cI just got band [sic] for watching a clip of #samuraijack that\u2019s on YouTube on my stream,\u201d he told his 35k followers. \u201cLegitimately a clip on their official YouTube. What the f**k is this?\u201d Legitimately a clip on their official YouTube. What the fuck is this. pic.twitter.com\/EIHRvKO6pg \u2014 Will Neff (@TheWillNeff) May 5, 2021 In a series of follow-up tweets, Neff asked how he\u2019s supposed to talk film if he \u201ccan\u2019t even show clips from the official channel on YouTube?\u201d He also added that \u201cit\u2019s a copyright claim for a clip they put on their own YouTube,\u201d saying that he \u201cdoesn\u2019t understand it at all.\u201d It\u2019s a copyright claim. For a clip they put on their own YouTube. I don\u2019t understand at all. \u2014 Will Neff (@TheWillNeff) May 5, 2021 How long WillNeff is banned for isn\u2019t yet clear, but both he and many of his fans don\u2019t think it\u2019s at all reasonable, and will hope to see it overturned sooner rather than later. Many are also arguing that this is a reasonable copyright claim, so ultimately we will have to wait to see what Twitch\u2019s verdict is, but it doesn\u2019t look great for WillNeff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
