@lukasvac @Zly_Negr No, bude to asi otázka kontroly nad obsahem App Storu, zatímco vydavatelé platebních karet moc nepořeší, za co se těmi kartami kde platí. Ostatně i cut je úplně jinde. Za podstatné ale považuji snahu o právní klasifikaci lootboxů, což může být přínosné, ať to dopadne jakkoli.

@locklear I've seen this all play out over on YouTube two years ago. my optimism isn't what it was after that debacle.

Well, Twitch, your business is based on copyright infringement. Maybe you can help the streamers, who fuel your business, and push for a reasonable licencing and rights enforcement model in the whole industry, instead of hiding behind DMCA while needlessly threatening accounts.
Twitch Support@TwitchSupport

📢 This week, we've had a sudden influx of DMCA takedown requests for clips with background music from 2017-19. If you’re unsure about rights to audio in past streams, we advise removing those clips. We know many of you have large archives, and we're working to make this easier.

@FredCasden I know. I mean, our opinions are similar, maybe I'm just a bit more optimistic. Or naïve. :)

@locklear Note I am not defending them when I say this: but for the music and film industry, it is sustainable as long as they can make money. It's why they are being so heavy handed with always going to Congress year after year The less evolution they have to do the more control they have

@FredCasden I believe doing something is better than doing nothing. There were times when digital music distribution was unheard of, then full of DRM and expensive; and look where we’re now. It’s an uphill battle, but the status quo is unsustainable.

@locklear The odds of 'proper dialogue' happening are very unlikely, the political lobbying that at this very minute is taking place by the RIAA to protect their industry just means there will have to be greater focus on original music.

@FredCasden Well, yes, it is easy indeed. However, wouldn't there be a point to counterweight voices for stronger copyright protection with voices promoting how using art works and should work in practice? I don't expect a change without a proper dialogue, which has hardly ever been there.

@locklear Blaming the platform is easy, all one has to do is look how the recording & film industry has acted in regards to YouTube over the issues of Free Use shows it's much deeper than that. Twitch can 'push for improvements', but those industries will prevent it

@FredCasden Yes and no. I agree with you, don't get me wrong, I just think it's not the whole picture. Platforms like Twitch exist *despite* the poor state of copyright legislation and may have the power to push for improvements. But seem to have decided not to.

@locklear The issue isn't with Twitch, it's the RIAA who every year tries to lobby government officials to change DMCA rules

Britské Ministerstvo pro digitalizaci, kulturu, média a sport (DCMS) chystá „call for evidence“ pro posouzení klasifikace lootboxů. Ty nyní v UK nespadají pod zákonnou definici hazardu, ačkoli sílí hlasy prosazující regulaci, zejména kvůli mladistvým. theguardian.com/games/2020/jun…

I'm not sure that adding "Cheating a Twitch rewards system (such as the Drops or channel points systems)" as a prohibited activity addresses the issue in its entirety, especially the impact of continuous streaming of VODs in general.
Twitch Support@TwitchSupport

📢 We’ve heard concerns about creators continuously streaming VODs while tagging the channel as "Live" to farm Valorant Drops. This harms the integrity of our Drops Program so we’ve updated our Community Guidelines to clarify that cheating any Twitch rewards system is prohibited.

Druhá strana interakce pandemie a herního průmyslu. Zatímco videohry jako takové měly rekordní měsíc, odhad příjmů z XR HW a SW pro rok 2020 se snížil z 7,7 na 6,3 miliard dolarů. Ne kvůli nedostatku poptávky, ale kvůli potížím v dodávkách VR headsetů. #videogames #gaming #VR

Eternal copyright protection is a bad idea. Why? @luisaguiarw highlights some of the best available evidence. ...and there are many more papers in the Copyright Evidence Wiki (curated by the folks at @copyrightcentre) copyrightevidence.org/evidence-wiki/…
Luis Aguiar@luisaguiarw

At a time when we feel surrounded by armchair experts, it would probably make sense for @UNESCO to look at the empirical evidence on the effects of copyright extension rather than broadcast messages calling for eternal (!) copyright protection. So here's some evidence 👇🏼1/N
