Why is that streamers and videos on youtube can't play music but xxx web cam models are allowed to? I really don't understand it. Every cam model plays whatever their heart desires.
Might not be the best place to ask this, but its something I wonder about a lot.
- kadoban 5y agoBecause enforcement hasn't come for them (yet). No real other reason.
- quux 5y agoThis might be the answer. Peloton in their early years also just streamed whatever music they liked as part of their workout streams, at some point they got big enough to get on the radar of the music industry and now they have to pay royalties.
- habeebtc 5y agoIndeed. I don't think most xxx streamers (or streaming platforms) are "stones" with enough "blood" for them to be worth squeezing.
- yuliyp 5y agoStreamers and other popular YT channels rely on ad revenue from their YT channels. If they play content-id-ed music, the revenue from those videos might go to the music rightsholders instead. For channels which aren't going to be able to get ad revenue due to their content not being "advertiser-friendly" this is not a concern, since they make their money elsewhere.
- azeirah 5y agoStreamers as well as web cam models _aren't_ allowed to play random music, they just do. The only time it's allowed is when they have the appropriate licenses. (sync license under DMCA for music synchronized to live streams) Streamers were doing this without repercussion 5 years ago because the streaming industry wasn't large enough for the music industry to care about. That changed about two years ago. The same holds for cam models, it's just that they're not getting claims for whatever reason. Maybe the music industry just isn't that focused on live pornography?
