Entertainment Published: 5/Dec/2020 11:28 by Joe Craven Twitch: TimTheTatman Twitch powerhouse Timothy ‘TimTheTatman’ Betar has hit out at the streaming platform’s changing music rules, explaining that any DMCA ban he receives will simply see him end up on “the beach”.  The ongoing DMCA issues in the Twitch community are showing no sign of slowing down. New guidance from the platform recommends that content creators avoid playing any music to their audiences for fear it could result in a copyright strike. Despite being one of Twitch’s most-followed streamers, sitting at nearly 6 million followers, Betar is willing to risk the punishment, and plans to continue listening to music as normal. During a December 4 livestream, TimTheTatman spoke at length about Twitch’s DMCA guidelines, explaining that any ban will simply prompt him to ‘hit the beach.’ YouTube: TimTheTatmanTimTheTatman is not afraid of hitting the beach if he receives a Twitch ban. Tim was playing a video that many viewers were concerned featured some copyrighted music. Their advice, as you’d expect, was to turn off the video or, at the very least, play it without sound.

Four popular streamers will play the Butterfinger-Halo crossover. Butterfinger By Mitch Reames 15 hours ago Halo Infinite, the newest title from the long-running franchise, had been ordained as a return to relevance for the pioneering series. But the game is off to a rocky start. Originally slated for a release in December on the newly released Xbox consoles, Halo Infinite has been delayed until 2021 without a new release date in place. While it might be small consolation, in the meantime, Halo fans can blow up Butterfinger asteroids in a new mini-game on Twitch. A return to cultural dominance this is not, but it might satisfy a mild craving. Butterfinger Halo Havoc is the latest effort by a CPG brand to build connections to the gaming world.

By Owen Mason-HillDecember 3, 2020None, perhaps other than TikTok, have seen quite the influx of viewership and mainstream attention as Twitch, a platform where users can watch live-streams from their favorite creators. COURTESY PHOTO While many industries have been crippled by the pandemic, none has surged quite as much as online entertainment. Internet platforms like YouTube, TikTok and Instagram have seen greatly increased interactions and have seen their user-bases grow exponentially. None, perhaps other than TikTok, have seen quite the influx of viewership and mainstream attention as Twitch, a platform where users can watch live-streams from their favorite creators.  When you log into Twitch, you are immediately inundated with a smorgasbord of channels arranged by category. Within the vastness of Twitch’s creator base, viewers can find categories and channels that serve their most minute interests. Though Twitch started as a site where fans of video games could come together, its largest category has quickly become the “Just Chatting” section, wherein you can find streamers discussing politics, watching live sports games, cooking or — as the name would suggest — simply sitting in their rooms talking.
