We recognize that by deleting this content, we are not giving you the option to file a counter-notification or seek a retraction from the rights hold. In its warning message to users, which circulated on Twitter this afternoon, Twitch wrote: “We are writing to inform you that your channel was subject to one or more of these DMCA takedown notifications, and that the content identified has been deleted. Twitch uses a three-strike policy for its users - if you get three strikes, you’re banned. It had paused processing requests after the summer influx.ĭMCA, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, controls how copyrighted material is used online, and there are provisions that protect platforms from litigation should the platform remove the offending material once notified about the infringement. In it, the company said it would resume “the normal processing of DMCA takedown notifications” on Friday. The company sent the notice to streamers on Tuesday.

Twitch has informed streamers across its platform on Tuesday that it has deleted content violating music copyright laws after receiving “a sudden influx of DMCA takedown requests” back in June.
