This allowed popular gaming streamers to hold E3 watch parties on their Twitch channels (and YouTube channels) without worrying about being demonetised.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The email reads: \u201cWe at Xbox greatly appreciate any co-stream efforts and aim to ensure you have a smooth experience if you choose to do so.\u201d Adding: &nbsp;\u201cTo that end, we have acquired retransmission rights to all licensed music featured in this live stream broadcast. However, due to forces beyond our control, we cannot guarantee music labels, publishers, and their bots will not incorrectly claim something on stream.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The music in the Xbox &amp; Bethesda Games Showcase is licensed for 12+ months for all online use worldwide. Microsoft has recommended that Twitch streamers delist or delta any VODs by June 1st, 2022 to avoid any DMCA strikes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/twitch-will-issue-strikes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitch<\/a> licenses music for live performances, but does not wish to for VODs. This is due to <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/twitch-and-wasserman-music-partner-to-stream-free-indie-shows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitch<\/a> viewing itself as primarily a live streaming platform, rather than a video host. It\u2019s a difficult position for streamers that use their platform, as content that such as watch parties can be a minefield for creators, often pushing them to host such content on other platforms.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether or not <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/rolling-stone-bring-live-music-from-artists-to-twitch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitch<\/a> decides to change their stance is unknown as of now, but their certainly having their hand forced by those that create content on the platform.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In order to avoid what happened at Blizzards Blizzcon Metallica performance, Microsoft ensured they secured re-transmission rights to licenses music in E3 showcase. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":85997,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[13,1,11109],"tags":[577,26728,26729,28,7352,713,20738,26730,1038,22177],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.4.1 -
