Yeah, the word has lost it's meaning. I remember when xQc was *PERMA'D* in Nopixel for a month. These morons could use the word *suspension* but instead opted for the word that generates the most buzz, *permabanned.*
Publicity my man. Pokimane is one of their representatives they can't get rid of the person that brought views to their shitty platform. You swear once on stream or show any sign of copy righted content it's a ban . But some thot that's half naked in a pool that shows a part of her bod that's exposed and nothing happens. At the end of the day it's about what they bring to the platform not the community sadly.😭
Jacksepticeye really nailed it in his reply to Charlie on twitter "People always forget about smaller creators too when bigger creators push the limits. When the adpocalypse happened on RU-vid it was the smaller channels that got ruined by it. Same thing will happen here if it keeps going, big channels will live but smaller ones get fucked"
Lol they would not even bother sueing a smaller streamer. There is literally no point to sue smaller streamers because they don't have enough money for it to be worth it. You can't get blood out of a stone. The bigger you get the more likely you will be sued. Pokimane was lucky. Big streamers are definitely less likely to get banned though because twitch would rather not lose them.
@@LongJohnnn hell no. You know how aggressive youtube copyright system? ThEy MiGHt NoT EvEN boTHer is pure bullshit. Just open some dmca music and they will whoop your arse. Moreover since you can't win in a lawsuit as a small channel, you can kiss your life of content creator bye bye in twitch forever. Trust me. They will suck every living things out of you if they are more and more aware of it.
@@tsnyan3964 Yes I am fully aware of how aggressive the youtube copyright system is but that's got nothing to do with sueing someone. I work in the legal practice and I can tell you for a fact that it is not worth sueing someone if they don't have much money. Why waste money on legal fees when you won't get anything in return? I also don't think you understand how much lawyers cost in the corporate sphere. They will generally at most just get their lawyers to threaten to sue small youtubers and make them take the content down if youtube hasn't already... and if you are smart you wouldn't bother poking the bear if you don't have the money to pay for good lawyers.
I remember the fight with Viacom. They were the most hated company around RU-vid back in 2007-2012. Every single creator had stuff being taken down for the smallest thing. This was one of the first times I had seen so many creators pull together against something so big, along with SOPA and PIPA. My god that was so long ago
I'm pretty sure at least half of the times she's been banned were deliberate on her part, just to attract more attention to her channel. None of them really hurt her.
there should be a certain amount of bans u can take, like 3 bans no matter how long they are will result in say a 2 week ban or month or smth, so then streamers will actually be scared of getting banned like they should be
It was bound to happen eventually. Even streamers considered "react content" like watching shows and movies to be riding that line of what they're allowed to get away with
The biggest problem with big streamers like this completely just breaking clear and obvious copyright law is that they know they will not suffer major consequences. They know they are the big moneymakers on twitch and they want them to stay on their platform. The only people that are going to be harmed by their actions are the small streamers who are going to be affected by whatever rule changes twitch puts through because of this.
@@Cold__Soup This is true as a fact. Nancy Pelosi literally defended Insider Trading within the government. Which is a huge abuse of power, even by people who aren't in the government. And big hedge funds, and financiers exist *outside of the system* in regards to trading laws, with the exception only being for obvious fraudsters they can't get away with ignoring. And twitch will absolutely pass new rules for the platform which they will only enforce for the majority of small streamers, then ignore for the big ones.

I didnt know that you would get so butt hurt over a question... you could've easily cleared it up by saying that "I dont believe in world peace", or you could have just not bothered to what other people think too.

To answer your question(s), the native american culture was pretty peaceful after the signed treaty where they just purely shared everything or used trading to get things.

The streamer who went after smaller channels for responding to her streams got pursued by a larger corporate entity for "reacting" to their media? Guess it's true after all: You get what you fucking deserve.
This makes TotallyNotMark's situation seem even worse. Where all of his and his team's work got shafted although the content was transformative, streamers aren't facing as severe of a consequence.
@@guts2657 in fair use, you're technically only supposed to show the exact thing you're specifically commenting on and no more. A lot of review channels don't do this and show a lot of unnecessary stuff, use the OST as background music etc. Still, a lot more integrity than these reaction streamers just redistributing entire movies
@@apollo1573 they’re saying that UNLIKE video games, people will not buy MOVIES because they already saw it streamed in Twitch. Video game companies technically could sue MANY let's-players and streamers on RU-vid/Twitch/etc. because the videos/streams aren't considered parody/criticism/transformative of the game, and they most likely don't have a licence to use it. For whatever reason, it just doesn't happen to video games as it does to movies/music/etc. you COULD say that under some video games, a creator could produce an original work within the game, idk not a lawyer EDIT: not to mention the horrible PR disaster and backlash video game companies would get if they did do that. I reckon video games get a lot more marketing/publicity from social media than any other type of creative work (movies,music)
A 2 day ban for this is questionable, it should be atleast a week. They're being too greedy trying to keep Pokimane on their platform, they're scared of giving her too huge of a punishment that she'd make it as an excuse to backlash on twitch and probably switch to RU-vid.
I've noticed a lot of v-tubers do this as well but as watch-a-longs. Basically, they'll let the audience know what movie they plan to watch(and where it can be bought) so everyone can get it, then they start the movie at specific time and watch it together. You can't see or hear the movie on their streams, it's just pure reaction and it makes a lot of sense, it's as legally transformative as it gets when it comes to "reaction" type content. Not sure why people on twitch can't just do something like that, seems like an obvious thing to do.
@@irok1 What? Multiple Hololive members alone have follower bases in the millions and regularly get 50k+ viewers for their streams. IIRC Pekora is currently the second highest-viewed female streamer in the world. Some of the ones who do this sort of content semi-regularly are also among the most popular.
@Mbita Acoustic Guitar look bro, dont beg, just try you're best at making content and reach 30k, this type of clout chasing doesnt work, and i just have to say this again. Try your best at making good content, you have great potential.
My heart goes out to those thousands of men who now have to find other ways of pleasuring themselves instead of watching a stream for hours waiting for a girl to show some leg or something. And now they might have to use their money for groceries, gas, or even bills rather than donating to her for a shout-out. When will their suffering end?!
In all fairness, she was streaming an entire show that's locked behind paid subscription services. She should've known the risk of streaming an entire show on twitch, even though a lot of other people get away with it.
@Mbita Acoustic Guitar Dude.. why are you spamming the same copy pasted comment over and over? People don't like spammers, and it's not like you're going to get a swarm of subscribers just because you spammed the comments.. I know for sure you didn't get that 17k subscribers from begging, so you either worked hard for it or you paid for bot subscribers. Just keep working hard, put effort into your craft and you'll get the subs. Or you could just save up the money to buy a mic..
your channel is pretty dope, I've only seen a few videos over the last couple months but You've earned a sub with your informative, straight to the point and honestly expert perspective on so many things is really welcomed! great job!
I’ve seen streamers like Hololive get around the problem in a smart way. They only stream their reaction, with no audio or video of what they’re watching being present. Instead they require the viewer to also watch the movie, show, etc on their end, synchronized with the streamer’s reaction. They call it a watchalong, and I’m like 99% sure it’s completely legal to do it.
it is, and twitch has a mechanic to literally do this called watch parties but people like pokimane think they don't have to play by everyone else's rules
Seems deserved. Why should someone get paid for streaming a show they had no part in making? Something about seeing people silently eating while restreaming this stuff pisses me off. These people are millionaires using other millionaires' products to make money, then whining as if it'd the only way they can stream. If you don't have 10 hours of content...don't stream for 10 hours...
I agree with you said but streamers need to eat. Do you look at a wall while eating, they have the right to entertain themselves, even if their streaming. A lot of people watch TV/YT while eating.
Matt Hoss sued H3h3 for using around 70% of his video in his. Matt Hoss lost.. I think the % used of the original work is less important. However if Pokimane was watching Anime in its entirety eating some food and making some cutesy noises here and there. Then I think she's got no ground to stand on.
Yeah the thing is I don’t think she’s trying to defend herself either. For some streamers like Toast, the whole meta of streamers watching famous shows was purposefully done to test the waters of copyright like he did watching Naruto. They know it’s not right lol but they’re just waiting for someone to tell them to stop and it just so happens to be Poki.
@@ComicGladiator no, anime just means animation in japanese, any animation made in japan is an anime regardless of style and if it’s not made in japan it’s not an anime.
such good points, I appreciate you still being careful not only for yourself but for the whole of twitch. I really hope reaction content doesnt get banned. as soon as I saw XQC watching TV every single stream I knew there was about to be problems. I was very confused when pokimane got banned but not XQC. I feel like if poki is getting banned he should get banned too honestly considering he was the one really starting the trend but I understand its just dependent on who made the show in question. just such an unfortunate situation.
I love how these dummies see people complain "the big streamers are gonna ruin things for everyone" and hear "won't someone think of the corpos". Real pissbrain hours.
Very solid point Charlie. Obviously these copyright laws suck ass and no one wants to deal with them, but not all rebellion is productive and, as you said, can sometimes be damaging to the platform as a whole
What can help this situation a bit for twitch is for twitch themselves including the streamers started a movement. Make streaming events, especially dedicated to gather supports and donations or contributions to license popular contents officially. If it became a prominent movement, streamers that have invested in the movement might be interested more in "officialness". When they were successful at one, that's a dopamine rush for everybody to reap more and more and more and became stronger as a community. Show the world that they are elite
Uh no. That’s still copyright. Forcing someone to give their content to another person who has had no contributions to your creations and is showing your content for free to millions is not making something official. It’s called being a bully. Millionaire or not, corporate or not, it’s their content that these streamers are showing illegally. And what’s more if it was to be agreed to let streamers show this content, it would certainly be behind a paywall.
Viacom is ruthless. Anybody remember that falling out nick cannon had with Viacom? They removed him from his own show (Wildin Out) until Nick apologized. They gave no ground, and Nick ended up bending the knee haha. I thought he was gonna die on his hill but it seems the pressure was too immense.
Charlie: Do not sleep on your belly or Viacom will get you. Everyone: What will Viacom do if you are sleeping on your back? Charlie: Well that’s not so bad.
I'm actually with Twitch when it comes to this, and they shouldn't have allowed it to get that trendy to begin with. This sounds like a fair punishment. You don't stream an entire show that isn't free. And hasn't she vocally condemned such behavior in the past?
The ironic thing is that she has striked people who has made negative yt videos of her with completely fair-use which is kinda basis of why this is so stupid of her. There is videos about the completely no ground strikes since youtube commentators take strikes pretty seriously since it's 3 and you are out and the appeal system is moronic. It's kinda something like you take the strike or appeal and wait for some period of time and when it ends if they don't sue you it dissappears. Bigger youtubers get them handled manually by having to many times reach out thru twitter to youtube (if they aren't so big that they got like a yt representive as a contact).. aka it's so scary for the channel because say you have made 3 videos of pokimane and she strikes all of them then it's 3 strikes and you have to work thru to get them removed because the system is broken. And I think your channel would be down in that case for the waiting period if you don't get it handled before that. So nobody likes people who abuse the system like she blatantly did and at the time read on the law and now is watching movies on stream while eating.
This is the modern day equivalent of copying a vhs video cassette and posting it to your outta town friend so that you can both watch a movie at the same time whilst talking on a telephone.
I've seen streamers do watchalongs for shows/movies, but they don't stream the actual material. They just provide a timestamp for where they are at, and it's up to the viewer to get their own source and sync up. The stream is basically just the streamer's reactions and they might respond to comments. I'm not familiar with the Twitch space but I always thought this was the norm for stuff like that. Didn't realize people were just straight rebroadcasting stuff.
Copyright laws are messy and everyone would just like to chill about it and whatever but you still have to be responsible and follow the rules. Its so hypocritical of these streamers, who would be malding if someone did this to their content or I have seen people defending it who also say to "support artists" and whatnot, You can't have one without the other, either you are for piracy or against it.
copyright laws are outdated and meant for the late 90's the scene's around media have changed drastically and they need to update the laws accordingly, of course its a mess right now.
Charlie you have reopened my gaping wounds and have poured mountains of salt into them. I’m starting to develop shivers and anxiety due to my inability to watch a pokimane stream and I haven’t slept since the tragedy struck. I’m plunging into a severe state of depression due to this preposterous ban by a dude who has never felt the touch of a woman
My personal take for this is, as long as someone straight up doesn't add anything and just re-uploads or copies it with no changes whatsoever, why not let them post it. That's like taking down a reddit video because it's your reddit and you don't want them to.
If Twitch actually pulled through with all the bans and stuff, the most popular streamer roster would be so much different than it is, most streamers that people watch and those who are the most popular, have already been banned a couple of times, some of them even passing that 3 ban limit. Having influential streamers see "how far they can get with abusing DMCA" and not coming through with actual bans just shows how greedy Twitch actually is, because everyone knows if the top earner gets banned, they lose money. And then there's Ludwig
@@agentace1476 Facts I'm still very confused about what lead to Twitch not caring about Ludwig at all when he decided to come to RU-vid but oh well it's their loss
Ludwig stream for me is the most enjoyable stream, he really good at story telling, regardless of people say that he is not that funny, i still enjoy the stream
The only major dilemma I still fight back against is being DMCA'd for music FEATURED IN THE GAME/MEDIA you are streaming. That is still ridiculous and shouldn't be the case. Especially for games. There shouldn't be the need for a streamer mode. No one. Absolutely NO ONE is watching xQc shrieking over the games he's playing to get a chance to listen to the music for free lmao That ain't how it works, chief. If anything, hearing the background music generally only encourages exposure. My reaction is "oh, I have never heard that one, lemme go find it. Oh, that's cool. I'll buy that one :)"
I've always been annoyed with the internet's understanding of fair use. There is zero consistency to what they think is fair use beyond "I liked the thing," and apparently writing "no copyright infringement intended, I own nothing" is all they think they need to do. I remember Legal Eagle explaining fair use and the DMCA in a Lindsay Ellis video, and if it wasn't just a small part of a long video, I'd link it to so many people.

What annoys me is when RU-vidrs just use clips and music to make the video more aesthetic “There’s no commentary, parody, criticism, teaching or research“ you are just grabbing Busdriver music and putting it in a movie review.
Too be fair in regards for fair use having lost its meaning. That applies for both sides as review type channels are basically harassed by the youtube bots and claims from false sources with their applicable defense of fair use now basically being invalidated. It's not just streamers and youtubers who have taken away its meaning, but the companies who ignore the true acts of fair use.
It seems like everyone nowadays online has an attitude that they can push the envelope and when it goes too far be given the authority to make their own guidelines
Big creators do dumb shit and get away with just tap on the wrist, but then the rules get ridiculously strict because of that and small creators are the ones who suffer the consequences. If Twitch had balls they would start turning off the partnership of everyone who "test the limits", but is obviously never going to happen.

How do we get from “we have issues with copyright laws and we need them reformed” to “all copyright is bad we should be able to take whatever we want”? The mental gymnastics people go through to simp for their streamers. They’re not trying to “push the limits of copyright laws” they’re just lazy.
It would be pretty interesting to see what streamers do if reaction content gets removed. Not to say it wouldn’t be bad but I think it could also be quite positive for the platform. This is definitely something I want to be kept up to date on.

True but this situation isn’t an example of that. This situation is literally just a bunch of millionaires sitting in front of a screen, eating and occasionally laughing and they aren’t even pretending it’s transformative they are just blatantly stealing content because they can, because they’re greedy, because they’re lazy (despite having literally the easiest job on planet Earth) and most of all because they have impunity.
@@DylanHart8 cr1tikal also does the same (on stream) he cuts the video ofc when posting it but cr1tikal also just alot of times sits there because he has no input or commentary to give
The biggest difference here to the RU-vid case back in 2014 is that for the RU-vid case, there were too many individuals and none of them were worth suing, so Viacom took the suit to RU-vid themselves. For this particular case, Viacom could probably sue Pokimane and actually recover damages, based on public information about what she earns. It would probably be the best outcome, because it wouldn't significantly affect Twitch as a platform, and would properly put the fear of legal action into big-name streamers that are DMCA-baiting.

Very true and this is gonna push a lot of people out of streaming. Many depend on reaction and or movie/show content to keep themselves relevant. Me personally if Twitch does that, I feel it’s justified because Twitch has been VERY leeeeeway with things and even some music played on my Streams never get strikes.

People own things they've created and can sell it to publishers to distribute it if they so choose, and you breaching that agreement cuz u think ip is lame and poki didnt do nothin just doesnt matter at allllll
a fantastic idea i thought of that could be really good is for twitch to partner with anime sites like crunchiroll so a streamer can fully stream their reactions to anime episodes on twitch but to join the stream it would require you to also have a crunchiroll subscription so they know everyone there has paid for it. Then no one gets banned, everyone pays for content they watch and everyone wins.
IMO twitch and YT are missing out BIG TIME on this. They could literally AND EASILY implement a "watchalong" button where the content creator can link legitimate places to watch the content along with them. It could have timestamp integration and everything, and I bet amazon, netflix etc would love it since it drives sales for them.
Amazon prime video already has something like that on the platform but the streamer only broadcasts their reaction and their timestamp and everybody else is responsible for having prime video and to sync it up with the stream but that way you can see the streamers reaction to what you're all essentially watching together
Unfortunately the process for setting up a big collaboration like that is slow and tedious for big companies. Twitch is literally owned by amazon and it still took them a while to implement amazon watch parties. You're right that it's a good idea and it will probably come eventually.
For once I actually agree with Twitch, I feel like if they just let creators react to copyrighted content, and make money on it, that could cause some serious lawsuits that wouldn't necessarily be the fault of Twitch themselves.
@Mbita Acoustic Guitar You love Cr1tiKal, huh? Suuuure you do! Your mom says you need 30k subscribers? Suuuure she did!

Absolutely devastated by these news. How will me and my familly be able to sleep at night after hearing such news. My doctor doubled my xannax prescription because of the anxiety and heart palpitations this caused me.
You're right Charlie but this applies to buying games on steam with the intention of playing them on stream then returning them imo. That definitely is a copyright abuse even if it's technically legal.
@Jamie Last he's saying it should be obvious to streamers that playing copyrighted material and benefiting by getting views is against the policy. i'm saying the same goes for "buying" indie games on steam only with the intention of returning them before the 2 hour limit is up and playing them on stream. which he's done.
The dumb thing is that 2 day ban doesn't do anything. Poki will probably make the amount of money she lost on the first stream back. It's basically just paid time off.
Hm. Funny how Ludwig pointed out that reacting to copyrighted content is dangerous for creators a couple weeks ago and everyone hated on him, but now that Poki got banned for literally that exact reason, suddenly no one is mad at his take anymore 🤔
Who hated him? I mean it is true, he used toast as an example in his thumbnail, and toast watched entire naruto episodes like i presume pokimane did with atla.
They can't push a change that big because its gonna flip their platform on its side and twitch itself will lose money and it will lose streamers over it. Honestly if anything big at all came from this, I would argue it would be twitch reevaluating their rules and finding a loop hole in the copyright laws which isn't that hard to do at all they just have to hire some people to look at the fine print and basically just have them find a way to go through the laws without hitting any of the other consequences. Which is why reaction videos on youtube of the exact same thing are up and are even monetized sometimes if the person wants to be scummy about it.
She just needs to come on over here to RU-vid streaming. Best decision I made was switching from Twitch to RU-vid streaming. At least you can fight the copyright claims here 🤷♂️
Well yes but it's still comparing garbage with hot garbage. RU-vid's copyright system has some severe prejudice for "companies". You probably know this already but pewdipie's own songs got claimed by "pewdipie the company" and even now he's got no say in when or if it'll go away.
I actually work for Viacom (indirectly through an agency, its complicated) but anyway when it comes to protecting their IP I have heard from their side through friend when this topic com es up, that its not necessarily the company being overly litigious but basically if you don't 'make an attempt to protect your IP by going after offenders' then you can lose your copyright. Basically you cant pick and choose when you defend your IP you have to go after all cases you are aware of. Hope this helps clarify for ppl. Also did I mention my dad is LITERALLY Elon Musk
If twitch was smart about this I feel like they could leverage a lot of opportunity out of it. People clearly want to have watch parties with their favourite streamers, I feel like it would be possible to strike a deal with streaming services like netflix into integrating the actual streaming service itself into the platform. I have no idea how the technical specifications of this would work but if viewers could link their paid netflix account with their twitch account and then gain access to the integrated stream with the netflix stream synced up with the twitch content creator's netflix stream, only users who have paid for the service already could watch and the streamer isn't actually streaming the movie/tv show, they're essentially a second video overlayed over the netflix stream. There would be an issue arise when there are geolocational blockers, in which case those viewers wouldn't be able to access the integrated stream without a vpn. This could be taken a step further with netflix acting as a sponsor for streamers who use their platform for watch parties and providing streamers with sponsorship codes and benefits to make up for the streamer having a smaller audience due to (whether or not viewer has a paid netflix account linked), since this would undoubtedly bring more customers to netflix because they don't want to miss out on these watch parties with their favourite streamers. Seems like everybody wins in this scenario. I'm sure similar things could be achieved with watch parties for youtube videos.
I think he makes a lot of salient points here where the people on top trying to poke the bear will ruin it for the other 99% of the platform who can't as easily navigate these potential new hurdles
Y know German has a neat law called parody law. You could take an entire movie and as long as you make fun or comment on every single Szene you are using, it's transformative enough not to be copyright claimed.
@@nodontdoitno5279 See Fair Use is actually a legal defense in the U.S against allegationsof copyright infringement. It only is substantively applied when used in a court case, so a judge decides what is fair use in one case only.
The fact the people are suprised with pokimane's ban over what she did confirms to me that if you get big enough on a platform their rules become a suggestion
Oh fr thats how it is frankly if you asked me before this the only way I could have seen her get a ban was for screaming racial slurs or something homophobic or transphobic because those 3 groups rank higher on the Lefts victim ladder then an average woman Edit: accidently said have have instead of have seen
Yeah… that’s literally always been the point… on any platform. If it weren’t, there’s no way Logan Paul should’ve been able to still have a career after his stunt in the suicide forest.
Viacom sucks but I really don’t see what they did wrong in this case. Even if copyright law was massively reformed it’s not like this is some 70 year old show that’s teethering on the public domain. You’re not criticizing it, you’re hardly adding anything transformative to it (which is already a tenous excuse to begin with), you’re simply stealing content and restreaming it for free to thousands. It’s like the straight-up textbook definition of a copyright violation, short of literally ripping a dvd and selling it there’s next to no way this could be any more clear cut. RU-vid’s «ad-claim» feature is a gesture of kindness, not something that is specified in law anywhere. Companies can and likely will sue people and companies who attempt this, and they’re no doubt going to have a slam dunk in court.
The problem here isn't that they violated the law. Yeah they did. It's that copyright is a horrible law. It's essentially just NFTs but they actually do something. It gets even worse when it comes to inventions because now people can't take other people's design and implament it into their own invention because that piece is copyrighted. It's just anti-art, anti-tech, and protects the interests of big buisnesses.
