Sometime last year, Twitch, just like YouTube implemented censoring system that automatically scans and mutes sections of archived videos that have copyrighted audio. Twitch Music, is something that the company has come up with which aims to solve this very issue.
“The Twitch Music Library was born to offer safe passage through the less-than-clear legal landscape when it comes to audio rights,” Twitch said.
The library consists of more than 500, mostly EDM songs that have been pre-cleared from “established and burgeoning labels, including Mad Decent, Dim Mak, Spinnin’ Records, OWSLA, Monstercat, Fool’s Gold, and many more,” which Twitch broadcasters can use live and with VODs (past broadcasts/highlights). Artists also have the choice to submit their music to be used on Twitch if they are the copyright holders and if they have at least 250,000 subscribers or followers on YouTube, Facebook, and/or Twitter.
Twitch added the Music category to the platform’s directory, where artists can present, perform, and present their original music.
