> DJs opted into the program will not be able to save VODs, Clips, or Highlights to Twitch. > Our program does not allow you to stream pre-release tracks
Those two conditions alone show you how much they have no clue what a DJ does and this new "program" is just a way for the majors to be even more greedy.
I also love how the problem they say they want to solve has the most meaningless description ever and is not actionable at all.
This seems like double-dipping.
Probably works differently everywhere though...
And it is essentially the same thing with Twitch here, as Twitch pays the necessary fees that allow the DJ to perform on their platform.
It may be different in some other countries indeed. I think in Germany, home of the infamous GEMA, DJs have to pay a fee in certain conditions, in addition to what the venue pays.
