RIAA y u so shitty?

And just as I had got a respectably sized playlist...

time for the rise of royalty-free music streams

that
what
why

How will this be enforced? Report button or something like YouTube's audio footprint thing? Either way... eugh.

kinda like how soundcloud does it.

i can not relax

yo this is a new age

the age of goreshit

i'm gonna make it happen

It was going to happen at some point. No one can escape the RIAA.

If people need some music for streams I highly recommend http://musigh.com/

Does this include music available on youtube channels like /majesticcasual and /bob42jh?

What I mean is can we listen to the music from those videos and stream that? If not, then what are we allowed to stream with? Are we just going to have very awkward silent streams then? D:

Only public domain music can be used. This does not mean all free songs, even. Just because you get a song legally for free doesn't mean you can do whatever with it, it's just like a purchase.

If you want to listen to a song on stream that isn't stated to be public domain, you need to ask the artist.

good thing i only listen to independent tibetian throat chanting and self-produced wall noise / field recordings / ambient shoegaze drone.

your move RIAA.

oh god I just realized that I can't play DDR anymore

and no Guitar Hero for Lange D:

yo thats fuckjin crazy

Buh-Jork

deth 2 america deth 2 all

'Twill be a quiet age of streaming.

what about if you're listening to pandora? All that music is free, same with spotify.

Now will rise the streamers who can sing well.

Probably the argument made is you're restreaming the music, while technically a silly argument. Legally quite sound.

AFAIK, Guitar Hero/Rock Band's music licences allow streaming and gameplay on youtube, presumably twitch.

I assume DDR would be as well.

thank christ
nobody wanted to listen to your (anyone's) shitty music

It's really stupid that they are going to implement it. I understand that, but it's absolutely retarded that music can't be listened to and shared. Next thing you know you'll have to pay royalties to play music at a party.

i think it's all up to you to produce some sick beats for the teamfortresstv streams

Now streamers will be forced to stream ambient background noise e.g. http://www.rainymood.com/ http://www.forestmood.com/ http://rainycafe.com/

don't worry you guys! the streamers can just stream my music instead.

"hey girl i wanna pee in your butthole"

uhhh.. kk"

*4 hours later*

"hey girl i wanna pee in your asshole*

OH JESUS CHRIST MAKE IT STOP

time to find somewhere else to stream?

Seems shitty to bother streaming on a site that's going to shut you down for listening to your own music while you scrim/whatever. Life isn't worth living without Melissa Kaplan's voice in the background.
