How come Twitch aka Amazon can't solve this DMCA problem like Youtube aka Google? What does Google do differently than Amazon?

View on HN

YouTube has built out a monetization platform which makes music companies want to have their music on YouTube. Twitch has nothing remotely comparable, and somehow I don't think streamers would be happy with a YouTube-like solution of "any sub money made while you're playing music go to that song's rights holder instead of you".

They do a lot of things differently. This doesn't prevent problems from happening, but it does create a likelihood that the problems will be different.

Google/YouTube does demonetization, but keeps the video streaming as is. That makes sense for their platform, but it creates a host of other problems.

Youtube have solved this problem??

Let anyone have your content removed for any reason!

"No man, no problem", as they used to say in Soviet Russia.

The Youtube stream was not muted. The VOD was not muted. Everyone else uploading the video cut of the song is not muted and removed. They are demonetized but the video is up with the original sound. So yes Youtube does something differently than Twitch where everyone deletes VODs asap or they replace the sound (like what happened on their own official channel)

Because they don't care, and they have 0 competition (streaming on YT is a joke).
