Twitch sues Artifact streams

Ah? Ayaya?

They do.

>So Twitch just gave up and let them run amok
They banned people but they would just make new accounts plus when it got out that the artifact section was the wild west, more people joined the fun.
Pretty sure they had to lock the section for a while and nuked it.

Someone is watching Artifact streams?
Someone is PLAYING Artifact?

Oof

>Company worth billions of dollars suing nobody neets that probably have no income to give them anyway

What is the point? This feels like something that shouldn't be allowed in the legal system.

The whole point of streaming shit is to basically share the exerience of sitting together with friends playing games, watching films, etc online with others. Twitch has, not surprisingly, turned it into a weird corporate hellhole, just another part of the normalisation and commodification of the internet.

Americans exist to give money to their corporate masters, so of course it's legally allowed.

yeah but I'm not the american so your bullshit laws dn't apply to me.
Yes I watch and play artifact

>sue someone for being racist
wat

>a video of the March 2019 Christchurch mosque attack, hardcore pornography, copyrighted movies and television shows, and racist and misogynistic videos
Are they suing them for having actually interesting content on Twitch for the first time ever?

ROW ROW
FIGHT THE POWAH

If you're under 18 or 17 or whatever the fuck age limit it is in your country, keep doing it. Keep streaming advertiser unfriendly shit and put twitch in its grave. We need to be creative against these companies milking us for cash.

Twitch fucking sucks at enforcing copyright
On Yea Forums we watched like 8 episodes of the shitty new Evangelion dub and nothing happened

>IT'S THE USERS' FAULT, THE BUSINESS MODEL SHOULD WORK PERFECTLY

when a company wants to sue you, even if they know they'll lose, they'll do it anyway. they know you dont have the money to survive the length of the lawsuit. That's how America is.

isn't the whole point of a terms of service that it's on the company to control their own platform when they make it free for all?

Karen is a miracle of the universe

hitomoji ooi wa

yes and shes mine and mine only

No, it's so they can control people.
The retards who were saying "I-It's just their platform" are just corporatists, seeing as how they use these rules to sue people and fuck them over in real life.
But, that's how Americans are, they love their corporate overlords more than life itself.

>Rasicm and misogyny

They aint even crimes, why the fuck they are worth mentioning? Fuck this gay earth

>isn't the whole point of a terms of service that it's

...so long and convoluted that even if you read it all you have almost no chance of understanding exactly what you're agreeing to.

You got it chief.

Are they also going after the regular users that regularly post sexually explicit streams, use derogatory language, and more?

>Imagine being an amerimutt

this happens in every capitalist country, Americans are doing this less than they did in the past

They gonna sue kids?

Who exactly are they suing? Did people seriously use their real identities when making accounts just to show off porn and shootings?

So what are they even suing? a list of IP addresses from all over the world and throwaway temporary email accounts?

95% of these people don't read tech news and don't even know they're being sued, and 100% of them aren't going to come forward.

Kek no, it's not anywhere NEAR as bad in other countries as it is in America.
No one in fucking Germany is getting sued by Amazon for violating their ToS.

>sues
Under what grounds?
No one is obligated to stream or obligated to provide ad revenue. They did not cost Twitch money by opting to stream because the amount of money twitch would otherwise get is 0.
If an advertiser gets skittish about hosted content, that's between the advertiser and twitch.

>According to the lawsuit, a group of users coordinated the posting of these illicit streams via Google, Discord, Weebly, and a custom site at ArtifactStreams.com. An archived version of that site contains a listing of "active troll Twitch streams" and links to chat rooms to discuss the effort with others.

>Use of the Twitch logo on ArtifactStreams.com amounts to trademark infringement, the complaint says, while the posting of the streams themselves amounts to breach of contract, trespass to chattels, and fraud. Twitch is seeking monetary relief and a permanent legal injunction barring the defendants from posting on Twitch in the future.

>"We take these violations extremely seriously," Twitch said in a statement provided to PC Gamer. "We are pursuing litigation to identify these bad actors, and will take all appropriate actions to protect our community."

Not defending it, but that's their logic. The dedicated site made solely for coordinating their fucking with Twitch is probably the most valid target. Hope it was hosted in Russia.

RIP CLINT

why would you do that to yourself

To seethe together

>fuck with company like an idiot
>get sued by said company

That's right, boys. The internet isn't a digital wild west free of consequences anymore.

>breach of contract, trespass to chattels, and fraud
This won't hold, it's lawsuit fluffing
>Use of the Twitch logo on ArtifactStreams.com amounts to trademark infringement
Could theoretically hold, but they'll have to prove damages

Well it's time to make it so again.

It should be, we already have way too much order and consequences in real life

yes how dare private property ever be a thing how fucking dare it.

Unless you live outside the US.

How do you sue random people on the internet? I doubt the people using bots were using their own IP or put in their real names. This is all a smokescreen, fuck Twitch and fuck Amazon.

It never was
or a lot of other countries

What they meant to say is. Twitch is dropping a lawsuit on 100 dumb kids in the US as they cannot sue anyone outside of it for streaming memes.
Welcome to America 2019.

They’re only going after dumb American kids on their parents internet, there were a lot more than 100 people doing the Artifact meme shit. So the ones actually streaming porn and copyrighted music are gonna get off while the dumb kids streaming troll faces and shit get slapped with a lawsuit that will bankrupt their parents.

If you're being sued, but never made aware of it, was there ever really a lawsuit?

This is something that really needs to get changed. There are tactics that are solely meant to draw out the trial as long as possible, knowing that eventually the other guy won't have enough, or won't be willing to pay the insane court fees anymore

I feel like twitch is who should be getting sued and not its users but idk.

>he missed the best meme of 2019
Dumb out-of-the-loopfag

This confirms that the people who streamed epic stuff on twitch are the true marxists and men of the people

Sounds like we need a new internet with a clean slate and new frontiers then.

That's how Sony killed Bleem! back in the early 2000s. Bleem didn't do anything actually illegal but Sony killed them anyway by repeatedly suing them so they ran out of money due to lawyer fees and court costs. Think they did the same thing to destroy Lik-Sang back in the mid 2000s too.

>That's how America is.
Would corporations not be able to do that in other countries?

>be american
>get sued

>O, MY 7 PROXIES!

>trespass to chattels

Can anyone please fucking explain how in the blue hell they think this is valid to the lawsuit at all?

Kek, feels good to be a NEET here where I can get a lawyer for a self-pay of 15€ and the rest is paid by the government.

They can't sue anyone for damages since there was nothing lost.

This is simply to:

A) Set a legal precedent so the next time someone does this they can slam them.
B) Scare people from doing it again.

Ide say the law would probbably favor the defendants actually. But given this is Google we are talking about the defendants have no real hope if it comes to it.

youtube.com/watch?v=3mFjei3022A

Dozens of sponsors and advertisers pulled out of twitch and millions of dollars were lost because ads were being played on those channels streaming porn and copyrighted music.
Shut the fuck up if you have no idea what you are talking about.
