A ‘DMCA Safe’ Guitar Hero

The still ongoing DMCA takedown strikes have been giving some Twitch streamers a hard time by thinking that they might be violating the takedown issue. But then last month, Twitch released a statement regarding the DMCA controversy addressing how the streamers should go about avoiding copyright claims on their content.

There are some streamers that were not happy with Twitch as they have been criticizing and mocking the platform. Recently, a content creator and streamer named Jason Paradise has found a hilarious way to stream Guitar Hero while avoiding DMCA notices, all while poking fun at Twitch. In his stream, he played the game Guitar Hero with no game audio while mimicking the guitar sounds with his mouth. He also posted his video onto Twitter showing off the hilarious and oddly impressive idea.

This is not the first time that a streamer has streamed without a game audio and just mimicked the sounds that it’s making to avoid the DMCA copyright strike. Also the streamer named Jambo recently streamed Skyrim while making all the in-game sounds herself. Needless to say, the year 2020 has been a roller coaster for Twitch. Hopefully, Twitch can turn things around in 2021, for the sake of its users and content creators alike.
