re the twitch thing though lol if you didnt think this was coming given how many people just stream them playing a game on mute while their mp3 collection plays in the background

ive even seen arguments that people think its ok because they print the artist/track info on the stream when theyre doing it

has anyone important actually been complaining to twitch that they were letting people hear video game bgms and that's illegal?

and does that mean sony put a feature in the PS4 that's essentially always illegal

no, but Valve's own dota2 videos were muted for containing dota2 background music so i imagine the opposite has now happened at least once

if you broadcast footage of your own video games on twitch.tv you are automatically assumed to be violating your own copyright

I’d make eye contact with him and fart. I did it all the time for like two years. I didn’t even know his full name, just heard that his coworkers thought he was a nut for complaining about “the guy who would fart on me in the break room”
People are so lazy now they don't even play video games, they just watch other people do it.

The whole "watching videos of games" just rubs me the wrong way for some reason, back when I cared about LPs I wouldn't bother with the video ones. Screenshots only.
