From the thread:

"Muting original in-game music is a mistake. We're working on it if something slipped through the gaps. Ambient music (playing Britney Spears in the background) is not allowed on Twitch unless you've licensed it for that purpose...Games are licensed to be broadcast by the game companies, usually in a public manner. Music is not. It's as simple as that, unfortunately."

"We knew there would be backlash from this, but we're willing to take the hit for the good of the community in this case."
