This is old news and it was wrong. This happend at the height of a new wave of DMCA claims, so people simply assumed this had to be the reason. But it turned out later he showed some nudity, for which he got the usual 3 day-ban.
Also, DMCA claims are not automatically leading to bans. It must have a certain level of harm ir repeated behaviour. And live-DMCA-checks are not active yet it seems, so usually the vod or clip will be deleted and the streamer get's a warning.
- wnevets 6y ago> But it turned out later he showed some nudity. Wait, the guy from dragonforce exposed his penis live on stream?
- 2StepsOutOfLine 6y agoI'm struggling to find any direct clips, but many are suggesting it was due to a fan showing their ass while he was streaming with Sabaton.
- UweSchmidt 6y agoIt seems like you overall support the system of overbearing rights holder automatically punishing and shutting down normal user behaviour, like taking a guitar and playing a song for others (i.e. the fairest of uses imaginable). What amazing power over human culture we have given to the corporations.

- Blikkentrekker 6y agoAlso, even if he composed the music, that's no guarantee that he owns the copyright. If the copyright be transferred to the label, then his legal rights to stream it are potentially no more than that of any other person.
- jakelazaroff 6y agoThat’s part of the problem!
- Blikkentrekker 6y agoPerhaps, but it would not be Twitch's fault. There are many arguments that can be made for the idea that copyright should not be transferable, much like reputation rights, but Twitch is certainly no party to blame for that it is.
- satyrnein 6y agoIf he was playing his own composition live, it's not the recording that the label owns. This is why revenue from live shows doesn't go to labels. This is also why Taylor Swift is re-recordings her old songs, for another example.
- Blikkentrekker 6y agoThe label would not own the performance, no, but he would still not be allowed to give a performance of any material he does not own without the permission of the rightsholder. There are some “reasonable fair use” exceptions such as simply singing a certain tune, but the point is that the fact that he wrote the original composition is irrelevant; it only matters that he owns the copyright. If the copyright indeed were transferred to the label, then he enjoys no more rights to perform it than anyone else.
- satyrnein 6y agoYes, to clarify, I meant if he owns the composition. It's possible a publisher owns or co-owns it, even if he wrote it (but unlikely that a label would).
- Blikkentrekker 6y agoSurely it would be expected of a band of Dragonforce's size that the label would own the rights and not the members?
- thefounder 6y agoWhat's wrong with nudity?
- ghusbands 6y agoIt's against the terms of use for Twitch [1]: "Nudity and sexually explicit content or activities, such as pornography, sexual acts or intercourse, and sexual services, are prohibited."

- hda2 6y agoI thought body painting and other "artistic" displays of nudity where allowed. Am I wrong?
- vzqx 6y agoRules for body art are more relaxed, but full nudity is still not allowed. https://www.twitch.tv/p/legal/community-guidelines/sexualcontent/#nudity-and-attire https://www.twitch.tv/p/legal/community-guidelines/sexualcon...
