DMCA Rules Are Ridiculous

A popular streamer on the Twitch platform, Jambo, with over 12.1k followers on Twitch, recently went viral on social media. She mocked the current wave of DMCA claims against broadcasters by personally imitating Skyrim’s various sound bites. Due to the DMCA takedown strikes, some streamers and Twitch itself were looking for ways to avoid any further streamer bans on the platform. The source of the bans comes from the use of music by streamers from previous broadcasts.

Audio from VODs, even ones from four years ago, are being detected and causing content creators to be banned. Twitch announced this recently and told Twitch streamers to just mute their games in order for them to avoid receiving any copyright strikes form DMCA.

That’s exactly what Twitch streamer Jambo has done. Opening the scene of the muted game, she first told her viewers that it was a DMCA friendly stream. Jambo took the matter into her own hands by jokingly side-stepping any possible ramifications of playing Bethesda’s RPG.

During the game, she hilariously imitates the sounds of the game from the sounds of swords clashing, water splashes, and even dragons. Twitch streamer Jambo is trying to improvise as a voice actor and imitating the noise of falling debris all the while trying to run away from an enraged Dragon. Her live broadcast was incredibly funny and hilarious and it highlighted the issues that has plagued Twitch in 2020.
