Music publishers in the US have hit Roblox Corporation, the developer behind the massively successful online video game Roblox, with a $200million lawsuit alleging widespread copyright infringement. READ MORE: This is why people watch other people play video games The suit was filed by the National Music Publishers’ Association (NMPA) on behalf of big publishers such as ABKCO Music & Records and indie labels such as Big Machine Records.

Popular variety streamer ‘traveldanielle’ was forced to end her latest Twitch broadcast early after her pet bulldog accidentally headbutted her with enough force to knock lesser humans out cold. Every now and then, things don’t quite go according to plan for streamers on Twitch. Viewers are right there for the highest highs, but also the lowest lows when things go awry. Such was the case for traveldanielle during her latest Twitch stream. While all appeared to be fine throughout the first three and a half hours of her Destiny fashion show, things came to a sudden end when her dog came bursting into the broadcast frame. Trying to encourage her pet bulldog onto her lap, ‘Brimstone’ quickly whipped his head back and accidentally cracked Danielle in the skull. “He’s insane, I don’t know what his deal is. That really hurt,” she said, reacting to the pain and walking off camera in tears. The blow was brutal enough that her partner ‘Datto‘ came in to eventually end the stream. “I’m just holding an ice pack to my head so I don’t know how I can play video games,” she added moments later. “My head hurts pretty bad already.” Viewers were all…

Sofi Tukker — Photo: Vanessa Vlandis After debuting a year ago as a ten-episode concert series on Facebook with the nation’s key Pride organizations, including Capital Pride, as beneficiaries, OUTLOUD: Raising Voices returns as a three-day concert presented as free livestreams on Twitch. This year’s second annual series is noteworthy for the fact that it will also be presented live as a ticketed event, with an in-person crowd at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Still another feature about this year’s event is its lineup of performers, a roster that organizers tout as “one of the most inclusive, diverse, and LGBTQ+ assortments of talent presented in a full festival format.” The festival, presented in partnership with the global LGBTQ advocacy campaign Stonewall Day, benefits select LGBTQ charities as well as OUTLOUD’s national Pride partner organizations. “OUTLOUD: Raising Voices will kick off Pride 2021 with a groundbreaking global celebration for the LGBTQIA+ and allied community, bringing people together in-person and virtually for an unmatched event,” say co-creators Jeff Consoletti and Artie Kenney in a press release.

Twitch has been cracking down on content that could be vulnerable to DMCA takedowns over the past year and according to one streamer, their policy has gotten a whole lot stricter. Musician and Twitch partner AyyTrae shared during a recent stream that she had received an email from the platform informing her that her covers could wind up resulting in her receiving a DMCA strike on her channel. “Previously Twitch said it was fine as long as you’re controlling every aspect of the music so I was playing the guitar and I was singing,” AyyTrae said. “So it should have been fine but now they’re saying that I cannot have covers of music.” The streamer continued on explaining that she would still be able to stream herself performing the covers but at the conclusion of each stream, she will need to have the audio removed from the VOD to avoid being flagged. While covers aren’t commonly thought of to be targets for DMCA takedowns they still breach the copyright infringement laws over the composition of a song, leaving them vulnerable to being flagged. AyyTrae’s words come just over a week after Twitch sent out a batch of DMCA takedown notices…

Popular Twitch streamer Dennis ‘Cloakzy’ Lepore is actively looking to join another esports organization after his planned Florida move, following his high-profile split from gaming giants FaZe Clan earlier this year. Cloakzy has spent the last two years trying to get out of his 2017 deal with FaZe, after Tfue’s drawn-out battle with the org revealed Lepore’s agreement was actually also “illegal” and ill-favored for the star. Like Tfue’s situation, Cloakzy claimed he was in a “really bad contract” and attempted to cordially split with FaZe. The planned exit dragged on for almost two years, however, with Lepore “trapped” ⁠— according to the star creator ⁠—  by several contract clauses that favored FaZe in the dispute. That all finally came to an end on March 9. Now Cloakzy is a free agent on the very busy content creator market, and the Twitch star plans to take full advantage of his “freedom” to join another popular org. Twitter: CloakzyCloakzy and Tfue both battled through high-profile FaZe Clan splits in the past two years. The former Fortnite pro admitted he “really wants to join a new org” midway through his June 6 stream, and revealed he’s already sent his agency to feel…
