Have you ever used AudioJungle - audiojungle.net/ -- It appears that you can buy tracks outright and not have to maintain a subscription (anyone else use them?)
These DMCA companies think that attacking ppl using copyright music is going to force more ppl to go buy the artist music but in fact its going to have the reverse effect. Less and less exposure for artists means less desire to go buy the music we like to play on stream. This is not the artists fault this is directly tied to the music label management because they are the ones trying to collect $$$.
i know this sounds like it is what it is about, it really is about pushing the songs to music services and the streaming services having to pay through that mechanism. I really think apple, amazon, spotify, and pandara are pushing for something bigger and more lucrative. And I have a suspicion if we were able to see all the details of the music services contracts, we would see that this type of oversight is required to ensure the integrity and value of the contracts.
They are not even going to look at it until the people raise hell about it. Cowering by searching for wack license free music is NOT the answer. One of these million dollar streamers are going to lose everything...THEN will they move on it...This ceiling is getting lower and lower..anyone that was alive in 98 remembers when they were suing FANS for DL their songs on Napster...this is not us..this is the scumbag music industry who rather victimize us than stay ahead of the technology curve. Rather than coming up with software to screw us..why don't they come up with something fair? because its much more lucrative and easier to bully the little people.
@@MRLEGEND101_ Hi, Music Industry here. It's extremely simple. You don't own that artists music, and you don't have the right to reproduce or broadcast it. This is, well, because artists should be paid for their work. so, if you want to use it, you might have to pay the people that got it to a place that you heard it, and you also might have to pay the person who made it. Sorry about that! When you pay to listen on Spotify, the artist makes streaming royalties and generates back end data to continue showing that artist to new people. if you stream it for hundreds of thousands of people, well then obviously the artist is now missing out on that exposure and income. Same for youtube. Watch time, Views, ad revenue, all gone because someone is giving it away for free. Unfortunately most people just don't know how copyright works or that it was created to protect creators.
@@garrethayes5892 so you are telling me the creator of the happy birthday song is getting money? Yeah sure, and just like that a lot of companies have bought the rights from the original artists and now are milking every single dollar they can from anyone they can, the copyright system was intended to work as a patent system were after a certain amount of time you'd have to renew the patent, but nowadays big companies are giving copyright infringement reports to small content creators for playing songs that are 50+ years old even if it wasn't intentional, a game had it, etc
Services like spotify could add tags to songs, one of them being copyright free, there is lots of songs who arent in copyright free playlists that actually are, and its hard for us to know if it is or not
Not really besides the fact they claimed it was their content released on their label. The guy's a freelancer, he doesn't release music with anyone. :)
@@TheLivingTempest Twitch doesn't give out reasons behind them. Just claim copyrighted content, they are vague af so makes things complicated and gives them time to get back at you.
Imagine not being paid for work you've done simply because somebody decided it was long enough ago. There is plenty of music available that is in the public domain and/or created free of copyright restrictions.
@@JonnyBravo0311 Imagine writing music with only the expectation of a 30 year copyright, only to have it extended time after time so it's now LIFE+80 years!
@@JonnyBravo0311 But the problem is that when streaming and having music in the background, it's not about the music. The music is not the focus of the stream (unless you're a music channel of course). If I would play the music and say that it is mine, or if I would just only play the music that I don't own, sure I get that you want to take that down and it would be justified. But if you are gonna copyright strike twitch streamers because they listened to a certain song on stream, that would just be stupid. See it as a promotion. People watch a streamer for 2 reasons. 1. The streamer is very good at the thing the streamer is streaming. 2. The streamer has a great community/personality. If I hear my favourite streamer listening to a certain song/band they really like I would check that song/band out to relate more with my favourite streamer. Wich, in turn, gives the band/artist more fans in the long run. Now I know that the law just doesn't agree with this statement. But that's because the law is outdated for this day and age. If the law could change to specifically describe what twitch streamers and RUclipsrs can and may do with the music. Wich, in this case, would actually be promotion of the music. It would be so much better for both parties. The problem with the current law is that it has a whole lot of grey area regarding twitch and youtube because those platforms just didn't exist at the time of making the law. The best thing for both parties is to have the law rewritten. Or at least that is what I think is the best for both parties.
@@voidlaser02 streaming is broadcasting, and copyright law covers it. Radio stations (which broadcast music) pay for the privilege of doing so. They track each song they play, and how many times they play it. They then pay royalties to a PRO, which after taking its own cut for processing, distributes royalties to the artists. Using your analogy - which is a good one - replace "streamer" with "radio station" and you get the same thing. You tune to a radio station because you like the style of music they play. Maybe you hear a new song and really like it, so you go and buy it for yourself. If a streamer wishes to play copyrighted music, they should certainly be allowed to do so - and they should pay for it. Just because it isn't the main focus of their broadcast is irrelevant. I agree copyright law should be looked at and the verbiage updated to include streaming platforms. It is definitely archaic for today's globally-connected society.
@@immersiveirl6638 if you are the artist and own the copyright, you can release it to public domain. Unfortunately, it is almost never that simple. Take the example provided by another commenter regarding the birthday song. That's a gross exploitation of copyright; however it's plain to see why someone would want to do so. That's a significant payday.
Please remind everybody that Spotify forbids you from using it on your stream in their TOS. Normally they wouldn't be able to tell, but if you by any chance show it on your stream you could be in trouble.
can confirm this is not true, i know a streamer who tabs over to show spotify and plays dmca music on stream and still gets paid by twitch and nobody from spotify cares
I am a total newbie with streaming so THANK YOU for putting together this video. It helped me find the music I was looking for and answered some lingering questions I had about how it all works.
I can't believe this is actually happening. I used to love the fact that twitch will allow streamers to do anything they would like and have some background music. There were even extensions for music request :( thank god one of my viewers was like stop playing music, copyrights are insane now and that's how I ended here! Thank you so much for explaining so deeply and give us some alternatives. I miss freedom days lol.
Sorry for the late post but an idea crossed my mind that benefits both parties. RUclips should Integrate with Twitch so that Viewer Count can be taken into account for how many people the audio is reaching. Then allow any RUclipsMusic to play (which is likely on par with Spotify?) and then allocate payment to both the streamer and artist played. This removes massive limitations. Artists get paid, Streamers get paid, viewers get more music. Everybody wins.
the original game music will be fine, but real music in the game might be a minor issue. if your uploading a vod to youtube make sure you cover up that song
Thanks for the clarity my friend. I'm finally getting things into place to be able to stream myself based around gaming and my own original music!! Thanks again, cheers!
incredibly informative. thank you! I think Twitch needs to build in attribute licencing for streamers so that artists can receive their money directly from streamers.
I am a new streamer and am not really choosing streaming for a full time but more as a hobby, but I do want to grow on twitch and your videos are excellent and I enjoy watching them. And even though you say that this is for people who want to make this a full time job it really applies to anyone willing to make there stream better at least in my opinion. Keep up the good work!
Great video, it is the perfect combo of an explanation and an overall warning. Plus, you dove into the no longer available, "archive" of Twitch available songs. I remember that being a big thing back in the day. Sadly, Twitch sold out, theres no going back.
This will hopefully, bring a light into a lot of smaller musicians and artist to create more music. either for themselves for streams or for the public to use without copyright.
I think DMCA doesn't realize that by music being on some short highlights people will remember the music and link it with good memory and then later on has more chance they'll listen to it and buy it eventually
My main problem is that music isn't meant to be a background sound in my streams. I never use music as a result since I can only listen to my preferred music when I stream/paint/draw. It's part of my work. I do silent streams or play the music discreetly in the background, I can't really use headphones because of tinnitus issues. The best solution for streamers would really be to have, for instance, Spotify with a subscription tier that includes streaming rights. I'm fine with paying the artists obviously but there simply isn't any platform to do it so far. So why is this still not a thing?
Procided you reproduce all the parts to the song, you're okay. eg dont play along to the original track, but you can record the song yourself (playing all the parts) or get your band to cover it, live.
Im learning so much from your channel. Im actually trying to start a fitness and health community by live streaming workouts people can do at home. Been trying to figure out the music setup and stream format. Cant thank you enough.
Serious question if anyone can help, if I was to play old skool garage music could that be classified as copyright music as it's from pirate radio stations from over 20 years ago
Saw your email about this. Great information for new streamers and content creators as well. 100% agree with what you say about twitch not preparing as well as they could have. Haven't looked into this myself but: at least in the UK you need a PRS licence to play music in a public place such as a business. I wonder if it would be possible in future for streamers to apply for something like this but for broadcasting, in order to play what they want from where they want without any worry.
I believe these copyright restrictions don’t really help promote sales for current or past music. If the newer generation doesn’t have exposure to Classic Rock or let’s say Disco or Blues or even Jazz and are only exposed to the top 10 on Spotify, they’re missing a lot of good music.
I've just started streaming and made newbie mistake of just playing an edm playlist off of RUclips. Got muted and a twitch email warning me but they said it wasn't a strike. Newbie mistake. And I really appreciate this video.
I am just getting into streaming. I have looked around and can't seem to find an answer to this. Can you play music from the same game you are streaming, during starting screens and such?
I love your videos man! Every time I see your face on the screen I know I’m going to learn how to do something with quick and easy step by step instructions.
My biggest problem is games that have music in them. 90% of the time I actually turn the in game music off but a lot still have them in the intro which you cannot turn off. One of my Vods got muted from playing Forza Horizon 3. 4 has the streamer mode but you still can't switch it all off. It is pretty annoying while I also know plenty of streamers that let music run in the background and have never had a problem. I live in Europe but I am pretty sure that doesn't make a big difference.
So I get strikes for listening to the music that’s used in the actual game. So for example I play GTA so the music on the radio in the car I’m driving can get me strikes.
I'm using my own music, yet giving people free licenses to use it (for streaming or videos) from spotify or iTunes etc, I'm supporting others not destroying them..
If you're from the US and this affects you (be you a streamer OR a viewer), please, *please* get in touch with your local lawmaker to try and find a better solution to the broken Copyright-owns-everything system!
How exactly is it broken in this situation. You think people should be able to make money with the help of using other peoples copyrighted music for free?
@@SimonWakefieldUK Already commented this on another comment, but I just want you to see a different point of view.

@@voidlaser02 The problem is the corporations don't care about exposure they care about cash, full stop. Any public broadcast of the music they havent authorized like a FCC regulated radio station is still copyright infringement and always has been even before RUclips and Twitch they just turned a blind eye long enough for everyone to be able to hang themselves. The law is stupidly archaic and they'll never change it because it suits them.
@@SimonWakefieldUK The artist should indeed be paid for their work, and a single, _simple_ licensing arrangement should be available (ie, pay fixed rate monthly). Additionally, there should be no such thing as a sync license, especially when we've already paid for the broadcast license. Sync license isn't about the music, it's about the medium and is actually only a concession to the record/cd maker (ie, the music label and NOT the artist). I agree that "for the exposure" is not a fair payment. But similarly, the current copyright system is designed to nickle-and-dime every song played on every medium even if it's only incidental (or accidental) to the content.
@@SimonWakefieldUK And most of that ignores the embedded music in many games, which IMHO should come under fair use as it's an inherrent part of the game experience.
Thank you Gaming Careers - I have just subscribed to Epidemic Sound using your code and enjoying some classical tunes right now. It was exactly the service I was looking for and you saved me a few dollars too. Keep up the great work. GM.
Saw this coming and asked this question back when this channel was showing people how to display Spotify on your Twitch Stream when its against both Twitch and Spotify's ToS.
I appreciate you tackling this topic. It seems very few want to discuss the truth of the law, itself, and even less want to acknowledge it once it's explained to them. While laws may be flawed, it doesn't change what violates them. The risks are real. I would like more creators to recognize this as DMCA isn't the worst that can happen. Lawsuits can, will, and have happened and to continue to ignore the law is a direct risk of content, brand and financial future. 1:56 To piggy back off your point, here, it's also a direct breach of Spotify TOS to broadcast it publicly, not just that users don't have the license.
@Gaming Careers, you forgot to include Jamendo. It's a really good free non-copyright music website. Safe for Twitch, Mixer, and RUclips. (esp. other platforms)
Hello! May i ask? I am a facebook live streamer and i use NCS and Streambeats as my go to playlists for streaming music while gaming. However, i have been frequently getting notifications about copyright music even though i used safe music and recently facebook live ended my stream because of it. So, i tried another alternative named pretzel.rocks but i still get a notification on copyright songs. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you!
This is where I feel the laws are flawed and frankly illegal. If the laws are saying your not allowed to use the music, YOU OWN, then there’s no point in iTunes and Spotify etc.
My question is... many popular streamers are using Nintendo songs like the Wii shop theme and animal crossing music. How are they not getting a copyright strike? I read somewhere that Nintendo doesn't own their music and cant copyright it but i can't find a direct yes/no answer.
One thing you forgot. You can also try to make deals with labels and artists. Most likely won't be able to work out a deal with a big label like Sony or Warner, but may work with smaller labels and independent artists. I have worked out deals with around 9 artists and labels myself. :-)
Here's something that should work as well, correct me if I'm wrong: You make your spotify playlist public, mute it for chat and make chat play the same in sync or just check out what the streamer is playing in the spotify app itself. You can even have a macro or manual track counter from your streamdeck that DOESN'T tell what song or artist is playing but only what track number (for ease of a new viewer being able to join in, avoid having a too large playlist) Add a lap timer each time the track number is changed if it's important for you that the viewers are at the same exact part of the song. Singalongs are gonna be horrifying, but that's really the only loss I see here. Let me know what you think
To clarify, the 'track number' would only mean No.1 for the first track on the playlist etc. If everyone would do this, there will be refined mods or ways to do this better, and we won't have lost anything at all in the end. Imagine if you could sync your Twitch and Spotify accounts in a way that you have this function built in. Could even be a paid feature. From what little knowledge of these things I have and what I have gathered, this couldn't be copyright striked, as the streamers aren't broadcasting anything except from what they are listening to at the current moment. And if not even the Artist or Song names are showing on stream, that would make it even safer.
Thanks a lot for the video. A couple questions. I know the main focus at the moment is the music, but if we have panels, emojis, or screens with videogames/anime characters, could we get a strike because of that? Also, could the Stream Avatars app be subject to a strike too? Thanks in advance.
Hi mate, thanks a lot for your video. I have a question, does the DMCA affect short clip musics like Alerts sounds? Or better to say can I use for example 3-4 seconds of GTA theme song for following alerts? Thank you in advance.
This is going to suck for streamers that use nightbot so viewers can play songs from RUclips in their streams or even for streamers that like to react to memes, a lot of the time memes use copyrighted music on them, so basically the big companies are slowly killing the exposure of singers/bands, because let's recognize it, more than one time you searched a song cuz you heard it on a stream/video or even in a meme, quite a lot of songs have become popular because of a meme or because someone popular listened to it I'm from Chile and a good example would be "CTM" by Nicco Americano, the song barely had views and suddenly it became a meme getting hundreds of thousands of views in a very short amount of time and it has happened like that with thousands of songs, sometimes old songs getting attention again because of a meme, and this is nothing new, since the start of the internet people have been making popular videos with songs on them and I don't think that's going to change anytime soon
Thank you for the productive & informative content you are representing on your channel. Its a "God" blessing. On the point: How can you be sure, the game doesnt have copyright music itself? Can we see information beforehand? Like you buy a game... & play it right away on twitch ? - You first buy a game with viewers or just get-go get new game from Steam (any online other shop) or have it delivered to the door. There should have a lebel as "can be broadcast free on streams" or not? What about livestreams of concerts? What about if you invite and pay for certain party? Would those clips consider to DMCA? Also there are lots of people who are copyrighted by playing their OWN made music on video stages & so... World should move on and don't drag its tail beneath the teeth! Cheers and be save aswell.
What happen if I use Monstercat or Epidemic Sound (paid) for a RUclips video and after a few months I stop my subscription? To keep that video up, do I need to keep the subscription? Thanks
They don’t play around. One of my World in Conflict videos got dinged for a Soundgarden song that is in the game itself (it plays during a cutscene where Marines attempt to kick the Spetznaz forces off of Liberty, Ellis, and Governors Islands). Also, classical music can also be DCMA’d. Night on Bald Mountain the composition may not be bound by copyright, but the *recordings* of it are. I’m hoping it won’t ding me for music linked with the game (the OST). If I get dinged by Konami when I make a Castlevania Legends memory lane vid, I’m going to be peeve’d. The composer did a brilliant job on the music and it deserves to be shown to folks (Bloody Tears will forever be a bop). Adepto Bonum.
My brother makes really good beats, and his music is on SoundCloud, am I allowed to play his music on my streams? He has no problem with me doing so. And also I would sponsor him and make sure people watching would know where the music is coming from.
Awesome man, very informative, im a noob to twitch, so how do dj play the music, oris itwen it is saved on ur channels? just curious, thanku, any tips helps bud..
im worriered about alerts and DMCA, even though they are only 2 sec to 6 sec long it is both normaly a immage and sound. from reading into it more its only talking about copy write holders so it would also include images and music. im trying to change the alerts im using to follow the DMCA rules. im a little worried about using things from TV, Movies, and music all around.
thank you so much homie, iv been tryin to get a stream setup, room setup and this was very helpful for one of the harder parts, so hella thanks ^_^ (From your friendly neighborhood stoner)
I mean, you're still playing music you don't own or have permission to play, right? You're at risk of getting a take down. You need to change your alerts.
Hello, is it possible to use music from youtube audio library for twitch? (We have some videos made previously for youtube and we can use it on twitch)
I couldn't get a final and clear answer anywhere about one thing: Can I sing PARTS of a song on stream? I mean, from the top of my head, like, I'm doing something and out of nowhere I begin to sing just a phrase or chorus of a song, can I get banned from this? I ask this because I have the habit to sing portions of songs I like a lot. I DO NOT mean cover the whole song, performing it, or playing it in any way, just singing from the top of my head. Is that allowed?
When I just stream for fun and I take down every clip in which I use copyrighted music right after I stop the stream... is that ok? Someone please answer.
When you say they have to be credited in your stream description, do you mean the BIO or...? Where might I find the stream's "description" (brand new to Twitch)
The Amazon Prime Music Twitch Extension was a great Idea, with the capability of viewers could control the volume of the music or mute the music on their computer, but for some reason Twitch took it off. Must of had something to do with money.
TL;DW Don't play any copyrighted music during your livestreams, no way to circumvent DMCA but to have a license. Play royalty free music. You are welcomed :D
Ok, I'm still a bit confused about this. I was just starting streaming (gaming/programming), and with programming, I wanted to have music on. All I've heard mentioned is strikes on clips and vods, which I don't really care about, and have disabled them, so do I have to worry about this at all? Plus the labels mentioned were bigger name companies and I mostly listen to smaller artists. Plus all the music I would play is music I have purchased from Amazon Music, Bandcamp, or physical CD's, not from streaming Spotify, Pandora, or whatever else.
That was very clear. but what about to leave a playlist playing while streaming.. i mean.. is great to have a source where i can download free song.. but how to get them as a playlist running by itself.. cause you share a video about having a widget telling viewer which song is currently playing on spotify, but what happens when we cannot use it? Thanks for the attention, and congatulations for you whole channel, is great!
Great video. Copyright free music playlists are very good. For commercial chart music, I personally think the only solution for Twitch is direct blanket licensing with music publishing, label partners. Twitch can use a small portion of ad rev or sub fees from live streams/VODs/Clips using digital audio fingerprinting. Livestreaming is essentially a live broadcast, and effectively the same royalty rates apply as TV or radio stations would pay for usage. There's plenty of money being earned by Twitch & streamers, the biggest stars are millionaires and most have used copyrighted commercial music on streams. These music companies are now asking Twitch to pay up or dole out DMCAs to offenders. I do feel Twitch has allowed this to happen, and has let it creep into the normalisation of using copyrighted music in streams. Clear warnings and disclaimers should've been issued many months/years ago, especially to those who are partnered, with agents & managers (who should've known better!) and not just suddenly strike and issue takedowns like a SWAT raid. It's easy to forget, that we pay for music streaming services, but not many people understand the difference between a personal license subscription and being a broadcaster. Solution idea: have Twitch build a built in playlist using spotify/apple music api's, that tracks which songs have been used in stream and pays music creators accordingly via Twitch sub/ad rev royalty splits.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME FIND AN ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION: I already googled and searched but all search results I get are about playing music on stream. That's not what my question is. So here is my question: On stream I (or a viewer) recommend a song by saying / typing the song name, but I don't play it or show it on stream or anything, but me and the viewers could listen to it seperately on our own devices. I just want to share music with viewers legally / without issues. Would this way be 100% legal without any possible bad consequences for the person streaming (me in that case)? If not, what part about it is the issue? Thank you for any helpful answers! On a side note, unrelated to first question: Can I show a video of people / animation (fanmade, not official) dancing to copyrighted music if I mute the video or will it still detect the music despite the video being muted and strike me? You don't have to answer this question if you don't want to, I care much more about the first question.
quick noob question, I just want small audio clips to add to my static pages, how and were do I grab any??. these places seem just like full on music to play over your stream. any help appreciated.
How do you gave credit for music from nocopyright sound on twitch or kick. I don't know if twitch has a description page on twitch. or kick. do you know how to do that? even when they tell how to, I don't know where to put it. unless it's under a twitch panel. which other have to press the panel to get to the link. how can I do that?
Can I receive a DMCA for listening music from underground artists? Like, I listen a lot of underground dj’s and they do some remixes of copyrighted songs
people find out about new and old music through things like twitch streamers, youtubers, tiktokers etc etc. bloody hell, a dude riding his skateboard drinking raspberry juice literally put fleetwood mac back on the charts after 30yrs. record companies should be thanking these platforms for putting music out there. unless the music is being used in a inappropriate way then yeah have at it. but if the person is just chilling and listening to tunes, just let them be.
Sooooo, maybe I'm dumb asking this but how does this work with the actual game's audio if there's music in the game itself or just the game's soundtrack?
@gamingCareers, I signed up for Epidemic Sound using your link but there was no place to actually enter a CODE to get the 50% of 2 months, did I miss something?
How does this apply to sounds used for alerts? A few of the bigger streamers I watch use alert sounds from Super Mario (world complete theme) or Pokemon (Pokemon Center Heal Sound) as alerts for followers etc. As a small time streamer myself, I wanted to use those, too, but not sure if that's allowed. Anyone know for sure?
Is StreamBeats and McLeod’s music free? The concept of royalty free music is new to me and I don’t understand when you need to pay or what paying for it gets you.

They need to repeal or rewrite this act...it went into affect in 1998...that's 22 years ago. Try to imagine how much has changed since then.
Couldn't agree more, needs updating for the internet era.
They are not even going to look at it until the people raise hell about it. Cowering by searching for wack license free music is NOT the answer.

Rather than coming up with software to screw us..why don't they come up with something fair? because its much more lucrative and easier to bully the little people.
@@MRLEGEND101_ Hi, Music Industry here. It's extremely simple. You don't own that artists music, and you don't have the right to reproduce or broadcast it. This is, well, because artists should be paid for their work. so, if you want to use it, you might have to pay the people that got it to a place that you heard it, and you also might have to pay the person who made it. Sorry about that! When you pay to listen on Spotify, the artist makes streaming royalties and generates back end data to continue showing that artist to new people. if you stream it for hundreds of thousands of people, well then obviously the artist is now missing out on that exposure and income. Same for youtube. Watch time, Views, ad revenue, all gone because someone is giving it away for free. Unfortunately most people just don't know how copyright works or that it was created to protect creators.
@@GamingCareers I think Twitch needs to build in attribute licencing for streamers so that artists can receive their money directly from streamers.
@@garrethayes5892 so you are telling me the creator of the happy birthday song is getting money? Yeah sure, and just like that a lot of companies have bought the rights from the original artists and now are milking every single dollar they can from anyone they can, the copyright system was intended to work as a patent system were after a certain amount of time you'd have to renew the patent, but nowadays big companies are giving copyright infringement reports to small content creators for playing songs that are 50+ years old even if it wasn't intentional, a game had it, etc
Services like spotify could add tags to songs, one of them being copyright free, there is lots of songs who arent in copyright free playlists that actually are, and its hard for us to know if it is or not
A friend of mine got DMCA striked for playing songs he made himself. Yep, that's how far the scumbags are going.
did the strike have a stated reason behind it?
Not really besides the fact they claimed it was their content released on their label. The guy's a freelancer, he doesn't release music with anyone. :)
@@NiclasPettersson hey, any updates? Just curious
@@TheLivingTempest Twitch doesn't give out reasons behind them. Just claim copyrighted content, they are vague af so makes things complicated and gives them time to get back at you.
But how about the 30 second fair use rule? For alerts as an example.
Imagine getting DMCA on music released 30-50 years ago
Imagine not being paid for work you've done simply because somebody decided it was long enough ago. There is plenty of music available that is in the public domain and/or created free of copyright restrictions.
@@JonnyBravo0311 Imagine writing music with only the expectation of a 30 year copyright, only to have it extended time after time so it's now LIFE+80 years!
@@JonnyBravo0311 But the problem is that when streaming and having music in the background, it's not about the music. The music is not the focus of the stream (unless you're a music channel of course).
If I would play the music and say that it is mine, or if I would just only play the music that I don't own, sure I get that you want to take that down and it would be justified. But if you are gonna copyright strike twitch streamers because they listened to a certain song on stream, that would just be stupid. See it as a promotion. People watch a streamer for 2 reasons.
1. The streamer is very good at the thing the streamer is streaming.
2. The streamer has a great community/personality.
If I hear my favourite streamer listening to a certain song/band they really like I would check that song/band out to relate more with my favourite streamer. Wich, in turn, gives the band/artist more fans in the long run.
Now I know that the law just doesn't agree with this statement. But that's because the law is outdated for this day and age. If the law could change to specifically describe what twitch streamers and RUclipsrs can and may do with the music. Wich, in this case, would actually be promotion of the music. It would be so much better for both parties.
The problem with the current law is that it has a whole lot of grey area regarding twitch and youtube because those platforms just didn't exist at the time of making the law. The best thing for both parties is to have the law rewritten.
Or at least that is what I think is the best for both parties.
@@voidlaser02 streaming is broadcasting, and copyright law covers it. Radio stations (which broadcast music) pay for the privilege of doing so. They track each song they play, and how many times they play it. They then pay royalties to a PRO, which after taking its own cut for processing, distributes royalties to the artists. Using your analogy - which is a good one - replace "streamer" with "radio station" and you get the same thing. You tune to a radio station because you like the style of music they play. Maybe you hear a new song and really like it, so you go and buy it for yourself. If a streamer wishes to play copyrighted music, they should certainly be allowed to do so - and they should pay for it. Just because it isn't the main focus of their broadcast is irrelevant.
I agree copyright law should be looked at and the verbiage updated to include streaming platforms. It is definitely archaic for today's globally-connected society.
@@immersiveirl6638 if you are the artist and own the copyright, you can release it to public domain. Unfortunately, it is almost never that simple. Take the example provided by another commenter regarding the birthday song. That's a gross exploitation of copyright; however it's plain to see why someone would want to do so. That's a significant payday.
Please remind everybody that Spotify forbids you from using it on your stream in their TOS. Normally they wouldn't be able to tell, but if you by any chance show it on your stream you could be in trouble.
Appreciate this
if u dont think that their are embedded digital signitures in YT or spotify or the many others u are crazy..lmao...dont show the spotify!!LOL
awful
I honestly would have used it for my first stream today if I didnt see this
can confirm this is not true, i know a streamer who tabs over to show spotify and plays dmca music on stream and still gets paid by twitch and nobody from spotify cares
I am a total newbie with streaming so THANK YOU for putting together this video. It helped me find the music I was looking for and answered some lingering questions I had about how it all works.
I can't believe this is actually happening. I used to love the fact that twitch will allow streamers to do anything they would like and have some background music. There were even extensions for music request :( thank god one of my viewers was like stop playing music, copyrights are insane now and that's how I ended here! Thank you so much for explaining so deeply and give us some alternatives. I miss freedom days lol.
Same dude I miss the old days of twitch.
Sorry for the late post but an idea crossed my mind that benefits both parties.
RUclips should Integrate with Twitch so that Viewer Count can be taken into account for how many people the audio is reaching. Then allow any RUclipsMusic to play (which is likely on par with Spotify?) and then allocate payment to both the streamer and artist played. This removes massive limitations. Artists get paid, Streamers get paid, viewers get more music. Everybody wins.
What about in-game music, like from an OST or from the game itself? What about games like gta with real licensed music mixed into the game?
In game radio stations already get muted from time to time if it picks up too much of the song without interruption.
@@TheRealAlpha2 same applies, its still copyrighted and not authorised for you to use without permission from the specific studios
the original game music will be fine, but real music in the game might be a minor issue. if your uploading a vod to youtube make sure you cover up that song
Thanks for the clarity my friend. I'm finally getting things into place to be able to stream myself based around gaming and my own original music!! Thanks again, cheers!
incredibly informative. thank you! I think Twitch needs to build in attribute licencing for streamers so that artists can receive their money directly from streamers.
I am a new streamer and am not really choosing streaming for a full time but more as a hobby, but I do want to grow on twitch and your videos are excellent and I enjoy watching them. And even though you say that this is for people who want to make this a full time job it really applies to anyone willing to make there stream better at least in my opinion. Keep up the good work!
Great video, it is the perfect combo of an explanation and an overall warning. Plus, you dove into the no longer available, "archive" of Twitch available songs. I remember that being a big thing back in the day. Sadly, Twitch sold out, theres no going back.
This will hopefully, bring a light into a lot of smaller musicians and artist to create more music. either for themselves for streams or for the public to use without copyright.
I think DMCA doesn't realize that by music being on some short highlights people will remember the music and link it with good memory and then later on has more chance they'll listen to it and buy it eventually
My main problem is that music isn't meant to be a background sound in my streams. I never use music as a result since I can only listen to my preferred music when I stream/paint/draw. It's part of my work. I do silent streams or play the music discreetly in the background, I can't really use headphones because of tinnitus issues.
The best solution for streamers would really be to have, for instance, Spotify with a subscription tier that includes streaming rights. I'm fine with paying the artists obviously but there simply isn't any platform to do it so far. So why is this still not a thing?
Just to clarify, I can do a cover IF I play the song with my guitar or sing it acapella correct?
Procided you reproduce all the parts to the song, you're okay. eg dont play along to the original track, but you can record the song yourself (playing all the parts) or get your band to cover it, live.
Im learning so much from your channel. Im actually trying to start a fitness and health community by live streaming workouts people can do at home. Been trying to figure out the music setup and stream format. Cant thank you enough.
Serious question if anyone can help, if I was to play old skool garage music could that be classified as copyright music as it's from pirate radio stations from over 20 years ago
I've just started streaming and your channel is insanely helpful. Thanks for what you do and keep up the good work!
Saw your email about this. Great information for new streamers and content creators as well. 100% agree with what you say about twitch not preparing as well as they could have. Haven't looked into this myself but: at least in the UK you need a PRS licence to play music in a public place such as a business. I wonder if it would be possible in future for streamers to apply for something like this but for broadcasting, in order to play what they want from where they want without any worry.
I believe these copyright restrictions don’t really help promote sales for current or past music. If the newer generation doesn’t have exposure to Classic Rock or let’s say Disco or Blues or even Jazz and are only exposed to the top 10 on Spotify, they’re missing a lot of good music.
So if i bought some tracks/eps/lps via bandcamp. Make my own mix of it, then i can legally use it?
I've just started streaming and made newbie mistake of just playing an edm playlist off of RUclips. Got muted and a twitch email warning me but they said it wasn't a strike. Newbie mistake. And I really appreciate this video.
the enemy : not allowed to use my music
Me : I could not have asked for more. THANK YOU GOD
This begs the question. Are 24hr LoFi streams effectively dead?
If the music they're playing is copyrighted then yes. Non copyright sounds or anything like that won't get them dmca notices
I am just getting into streaming. I have looked around and can't seem to find an answer to this.
Can you play music from the same game you are streaming, during starting screens and such?
I love your videos man! Every time I see your face on the screen I know I’m going to learn how to do something with quick and easy step by step instructions.
My biggest problem is games that have music in them. 90% of the time I actually turn the in game music off but a lot still have them in the intro which you cannot turn off. One of my Vods got muted from playing Forza Horizon 3. 4 has the streamer mode but you still can't switch it all off. It is pretty annoying while I also know plenty of streamers that let music run in the background and have never had a problem. I live in Europe but I am pretty sure that doesn't make a big difference.
So I get strikes for listening to the music that’s used in the actual game. So for example I play GTA so the music on the radio in the car I’m driving can get me strikes.
I'm using my own music, yet giving people free licenses to use it (for streaming or videos) from spotify or iTunes etc, I'm supporting others not destroying them..
If you're from the US and this affects you (be you a streamer OR a viewer), please, *please* get in touch with your local lawmaker to try and find a better solution to the broken Copyright-owns-everything system!
How exactly is it broken in this situation. You think people should be able to make money with the help of using other peoples copyrighted music for free?

@@voidlaser02 The problem is the corporations don't care about exposure they care about cash, full stop. Any public broadcast of the music they havent authorized like a FCC regulated radio station is still copyright infringement and always has been even before RUclips and Twitch they just turned a blind eye long enough for everyone to be able to hang themselves. The law is stupidly archaic and they'll never change it because it suits them.
@@SimonWakefieldUK The artist should indeed be paid for their work, and a single, _simple_ licensing arrangement should be available (ie, pay fixed rate monthly). Additionally, there should be no such thing as a sync license, especially when we've already paid for the broadcast license. Sync license isn't about the music, it's about the medium and is actually only a concession to the record/cd maker (ie, the music label and NOT the artist).
I agree that "for the exposure" is not a fair payment. But similarly, the current copyright system is designed to nickle-and-dime every song played on every medium even if it's only incidental (or accidental) to the content.
@@SimonWakefieldUK And most of that ignores the embedded music in many games, which IMHO should come under fair use as it's an inherrent part of the game experience.
Thank you Gaming Careers - I have just subscribed to Epidemic Sound using your code and enjoying some classical tunes right now. It was exactly the service I was looking for and you saved me a few dollars too. Keep up the great work. GM.
Saw this coming and asked this question back when this channel was showing people how to display Spotify on your Twitch Stream when its against both Twitch and Spotify's ToS.
I appreciate you tackling this topic. It seems very few want to discuss the truth of the law, itself, and even less want to acknowledge it once it's explained to them. While laws may be flawed, it doesn't change what violates them. The risks are real. I would like more creators to recognize this as DMCA isn't the worst that can happen. Lawsuits can, will, and have happened and to continue to ignore the law is a direct risk of content, brand and financial future.
1:56 To piggy back off your point, here, it's also a direct breach of Spotify TOS to broadcast it publicly, not just that users don't have the license.
Just started using Epidemic Sound because of you. Thanks bro it's straight FIRE. Best of all. You the truth bro
@Gaming Careers, you forgot to include Jamendo. It's a really good free non-copyright music website. Safe for Twitch, Mixer, and RUclips. (esp. other platforms)
Hello! May i ask? I am a facebook live streamer and i use NCS and Streambeats as my go to playlists for streaming music while gaming. However, i have been frequently getting notifications about copyright music even though i used safe music and recently facebook live ended my stream because of it. So, i tried another alternative named pretzel.rocks but i still get a notification on copyright songs. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you!
This is where I feel the laws are flawed and frankly illegal. If the laws are saying your not allowed to use the music, YOU OWN, then there’s no point in iTunes and Spotify etc.
Kevin Mcleod would be pronounced "McLoud". You can thank me later 🏴
I just shouted at ma phone there with him trying to pronounce that lol
My mum rang me up after the video went out saying the same thing. I'm a disappointment.

My question is... many popular streamers are using Nintendo songs like the Wii shop theme and animal crossing music. How are they not getting a copyright strike? I read somewhere that Nintendo doesn't own their music and cant copyright it but i can't find a direct yes/no answer.

One thing you forgot. You can also try to make deals with labels and artists.
Most likely won't be able to work out a deal with a big label like Sony or Warner, but may work with smaller labels and independent artists.
I have worked out deals with around 9 artists and labels myself. :-)
Hi! Am I able to somehow pick your ear about this??
Here's something that should work as well, correct me if I'm wrong:
You make your spotify playlist public, mute it for chat and make chat play the same in sync or just check out what the streamer is playing in the spotify app itself.
You can even have a macro or manual track counter from your streamdeck that DOESN'T tell what song or artist is playing but only what track number (for ease of a new viewer being able to join in, avoid having a too large playlist) Add a lap timer each time the track number is changed if it's important for you that the viewers are at the same exact part of the song.
Singalongs are gonna be horrifying, but that's really the only loss I see here.
Let me know what you think
To clarify, the 'track number' would only mean No.1 for the first track on the playlist etc. If everyone would do this, there will be refined mods or ways to do this better, and we won't have lost anything at all in the end. Imagine if you could sync your Twitch and Spotify accounts in a way that you have this function built in. Could even be a paid feature.
From what little knowledge of these things I have and what I have gathered, this couldn't be copyright striked, as the streamers aren't broadcasting anything except from what they are listening to at the current moment. And if not even the Artist or Song names are showing on stream, that would make it even safer.
Thanks a lot for the video.
A couple questions.
I know the main focus at the moment is the music, but if we have panels, emojis, or screens with videogames/anime characters, could we get a strike because of that?
Also, could the Stream Avatars app be subject to a strike too?
Thanks in advance.
Hi mate, thanks a lot for your video.
I have a question, does the DMCA affect short clip musics like Alerts sounds?

This is going to suck for streamers that use nightbot so viewers can play songs from RUclips in their streams or even for streamers that like to react to memes, a lot of the time memes use copyrighted music on them, so basically the big companies are slowly killing the exposure of singers/bands, because let's recognize it, more than one time you searched a song cuz you heard it on a stream/video or even in a meme, quite a lot of songs have become popular because of a meme or because someone popular listened to it
I'm from Chile and a good example would be "CTM" by Nicco Americano, the song barely had views and suddenly it became a meme getting hundreds of thousands of views in a very short amount of time and it has happened like that with thousands of songs, sometimes old songs getting attention again because of a meme, and this is nothing new, since the start of the internet people have been making popular videos with songs on them and I don't think that's going to change anytime soon
I'm actually pretty sure using Spotify on a live stream violates the TOS of Spotify.
Thank you for the help! We are all helping each other... someone shared this video on my discord! ♥️❤️♥️ I will share it too
Thank you for the productive & informative content you are representing on your channel. Its a "God" blessing.
On the point:
How can you be sure, the game doesnt have copyright music itself? Can we see information beforehand? Like you buy a game... & play it right away on twitch ? - You first buy a game with viewers or just get-go get new game from Steam (any online other shop) or have it delivered to the door. There should have a lebel as "can be broadcast free on streams" or not?
What about livestreams of concerts?
What about if you invite and pay for certain party?
Would those clips consider to DMCA?
Also there are lots of people who are copyrighted by playing their OWN made music on video stages & so... World should move on and don't drag its tail beneath the teeth!
Cheers and be save aswell.
What happen if I use Monstercat or Epidemic Sound (paid) for a RUclips video and after a few months I stop my subscription? To keep that video up, do I need to keep the subscription? Thanks
Is there a chance that my viewers still can do a song requests on the stream with any of the recommended copyright free music resources?
Stupid question to ask: Is it ok to play unreleased music, like leaks that are not copyrighted on twitch?
They don’t play around. One of my World in Conflict videos got dinged for a Soundgarden song that is in the game itself (it plays during a cutscene where Marines attempt to kick the Spetznaz forces off of Liberty, Ellis, and Governors Islands). Also, classical music can also be DCMA’d. Night on Bald Mountain the composition may not be bound by copyright, but the *recordings* of it are. I’m hoping it won’t ding me for music linked with the game (the OST). If I get dinged by Konami when I make a Castlevania Legends memory lane vid, I’m going to be peeve’d. The composer did a brilliant job on the music and it deserves to be shown to folks (Bloody Tears will forever be a bop). Adepto Bonum.
My brother makes really good beats, and his music is on SoundCloud, am I allowed to play his music on my streams? He has no problem with me doing so. And also I would sponsor him and make sure people watching would know where the music is coming from.
It’s not copyrighted so technically he has no rights to the song so anyone can use it
I have started making copyright free music for streamers! I use synthesizers, a gameboy, and a sega genesis to create my music. 👾👾👾
Thank you for posting this! I am trying epidemic sound now
Awesome man, very informative, im a noob to twitch, so how do dj play the music, oris itwen it is saved on ur channels? just curious, thanku, any tips helps bud..
im worriered about alerts and DMCA, even though they are only 2 sec to 6 sec long it is both normaly a immage and sound. from reading into it more its only talking about copy write holders so it would also include images and music. im trying to change the alerts im using to follow the DMCA rules. im a little worried about using things from TV, Movies, and music all around.
thank you so much homie, iv been tryin to get a stream setup, room setup and this was very helpful for one of the harder parts, so hella thanks ^_^ (From your friendly neighborhood stoner)
What if your follower or subscription alert hold a track for its duration?
I mean, you're still playing music you don't own or have permission to play, right? You're at risk of getting a take down. You need to change your alerts.
I have zero views but haven’t used copyrighted music just harris’s Streambeats - may get into streaming again soon
Goodluck ♡︎
I cant even play clasical music some days, like no claims or strikes just muted audio, but its getting very annoying
Hello,
is it possible to use music from youtube audio library for twitch? (We have some videos made previously for youtube and we can use it on twitch)
TIP: If you use Pretzel Rock on the free tier, you can simply mute the bot on your stream. It won't talk, but you can still use the music! :)
An ad for a copyright-free playlist on spotify played for me before this video, I've already downloaded it 😁
Thanks for this video! Also thanks for getting the deal at Epidemic! Very cool. Love your content.
I couldn't get a final and clear answer anywhere about one thing: Can I sing PARTS of a song on stream? I mean, from the top of my head, like, I'm doing something and out of nowhere I begin to sing just a phrase or chorus of a song, can I get banned from this? I ask this because I have the habit to sing portions of songs I like a lot. I DO NOT mean cover the whole song, performing it, or playing it in any way, just singing from the top of my head. Is that allowed?
When I just stream for fun and I take down every clip in which I use copyrighted music right after I stop the stream... is that ok? Someone please answer.
I need “Pantera” type sounding metal.... hopefully one of these sites have that style
Maybe Pretzel
Can you use music from Swaggytracks? Bc you can use it in RUclips vids...
When you say they have to be credited in your stream description, do you mean the BIO or...? Where might I find the stream's "description" (brand new to Twitch)
The Amazon Prime Music Twitch Extension was a great Idea, with the capability of viewers could control the volume of the music or mute the music on their computer, but for some reason Twitch took it off. Must of had something to do with money.
TL;DW Don't play any copyrighted music during your livestreams, no way to circumvent DMCA but to have a license. Play royalty free music. You are welcomed :D
Ok, I'm still a bit confused about this. I was just starting streaming (gaming/programming), and with programming, I wanted to have music on. All I've heard mentioned is strikes on clips and vods, which I don't really care about, and have disabled them, so do I have to worry about this at all? Plus the labels mentioned were bigger name companies and I mostly listen to smaller artists. Plus all the music I would play is music I have purchased from Amazon Music, Bandcamp, or physical CD's, not from streaming Spotify, Pandora, or whatever else.
Is there any alternative to Snip so my song and artwork will work in whatever platform I decide to use instead of Spotify?
I used Snip at first but, then I changed to just window capturing AIMP. (you could substitute which ever player you personally use)
Great video as always! I just cleaned all of my clips today with the help of my amazing mods.
which music count as Copyrighted and copyright free? Bbno$ is allowing his music to play for free on twitch but are there other artists who do this?
Could you get copyrighted for a 5-10 seconds ? I want to play the superman theme for a alert.. please let me know, thank you!
I also recommend Chillhop for creators if you're more into lofi.
That was very clear. but what about to leave a playlist playing while streaming.. i mean.. is great to have a source where i can download free song.. but how to get them as a playlist running by itself.. cause you share a video about having a widget telling viewer which song is currently playing on spotify, but what happens when we cannot use it? Thanks for the attention, and congatulations for you whole channel, is great!
Great video. Copyright free music playlists are very good. For commercial chart music, I personally think the only solution for Twitch is direct blanket licensing with music publishing, label partners. Twitch can use a small portion of ad rev or sub fees from live streams/VODs/Clips using digital audio fingerprinting. Livestreaming is essentially a live broadcast, and effectively the same royalty rates apply as TV or radio stations would pay for usage. There's plenty of money being earned by Twitch & streamers, the biggest stars are millionaires and most have used copyrighted commercial music on streams. These music companies are now asking Twitch to pay up or dole out DMCAs to offenders. I do feel Twitch has allowed this to happen, and has let it creep into the normalisation of using copyrighted music in streams. Clear warnings and disclaimers should've been issued many months/years ago, especially to those who are partnered, with agents & managers (who should've known better!) and not just suddenly strike and issue takedowns like a SWAT raid. It's easy to forget, that we pay for music streaming services, but not many people understand the difference between a personal license subscription and being a broadcaster. Solution idea: have Twitch build a built in playlist using spotify/apple music api's, that tracks which songs have been used in stream and pays music creators accordingly via Twitch sub/ad rev royalty splits.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME FIND AN ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION:
I already googled and searched but all search results I get are about playing music on stream. That's not what my question is.
So here is my question: On stream I (or a viewer) recommend a song by saying / typing the song name, but I don't play it or show it on stream or anything, but me and the viewers could listen to it seperately on our own devices.
I just want to share music with viewers legally / without issues. Would this way be 100% legal without any possible bad consequences for the person streaming (me in that case)? If not, what part about it is the issue?
Thank you for any helpful answers!
On a side note, unrelated to first question: Can I show a video of people / animation (fanmade, not official) dancing to copyrighted music if I mute the video or will it still detect the music despite the video being muted and strike me? You don't have to answer this question if you don't want to, I care much more about the first question.
quick noob question,
I just want small audio clips to add to my static pages, how and were do I grab any??.
these places seem just like full on music to play over your stream.
any help appreciated.
How do you gave credit for music from nocopyright sound on twitch or kick. I don't know if twitch has a description page on twitch. or kick. do you know how to do that? even when they tell how to, I don't know where to put it. unless it's under a twitch panel. which other have to press the panel to get to the link. how can I do that?
Can I receive a DMCA for listening music from underground artists? Like, I listen a lot of underground dj’s and they do some remixes of copyrighted songs
Yes
people find out about new and old music through things like twitch streamers, youtubers, tiktokers etc etc. bloody hell, a dude riding his skateboard drinking raspberry juice literally put fleetwood mac back on the charts after 30yrs. record companies should be thanking these platforms for putting music out there. unless the music is being used in a inappropriate way then yeah have at it. but if the person is just chilling and listening to tunes, just let them be.
Thanks for the well made vid! Just trying to figure out this streaming thing...
Sooooo, maybe I'm dumb asking this but how does this work with the actual game's audio if there's music in the game itself or just the game's soundtrack?
@gamingCareers, I signed up for Epidemic Sound using your link but there was no place to actually enter a CODE to get the 50% of 2 months, did I miss something?
How does this apply to sounds used for alerts? A few of the bigger streamers I watch use alert sounds from Super Mario (world complete theme) or Pokemon (Pokemon Center Heal Sound) as alerts for followers etc. As a small time streamer myself, I wanted to use those, too, but not sure if that's allowed. Anyone know for sure?
What about video game soundtracks from old games, how likely is it that we will get copyrighted for using that music?
Is StreamBeats and McLeod’s music free? The concept of royalty free music is new to me and I don’t understand when you need to pay or what paying for it gets you.
what about people who stream beatsaber?
what about as alerts?8-10 second snippets of music? really curious
