Is this going to lead to a crack down on playing unlicensed, non-royalty free music on streams?

  Probably, but let's be honest here: that was going to happen even if Twitch was never bought.

  Playing music on streams isn't stealing music. If the people listening to the stream like the music they hear, they're likely to try to find out what it is they're listening to and go listen to more of it. That means more music sales, not less.

    But now it becomes a "public performance" and that gets tangly real fast.

    That's arguably true of a lot of music copyright infringement. I don't think it will stop the lawyers.

  Don't forget restrictions by location.
