Dear Twitch Broadcaster:

The content you streamed and archived on Twitch at http://www.twitch.tv/******* was the subject of a takedown notice we received from Blizzard Entertainment pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). This organization has asserted that it owns this content and that you streamed that content on Twitch without permission to do so. As a result we have cleared the offending archives, highlights, and episodes from your account and given you a 24 hour restriction from broadcasting.


Any other stream get the same? I think this is fucking hilarious and sad. What a bunch of sad little bitches over at blizz.

Dang that's rough. I wonder if they can have any impact on this realm even though it's hosted in France.

Rottix got banned: http://www.twitch.tv/rottix

Edit: Eventually it was going to happen, Blizz was not going to stay quiet while streamers got hundred of viewers playing a private server.

This is complete bullshit considering I have express written consent from Blizzard AND Twitch stating it is NOT against the rules for me to stream a private server.

Edit: Just forgot to add, fuck Blizzard. I'm never buying another one of their shitty games again. Including Chex Quest when it comes out, I mean overwatch.

Streaming private server stuff on any streaming site has risk of it being shutdown. Private servers are not owned by Blizzard thus are in violation of Blizzard policies. No matter if you have 10k viewers, 100 viewers or even 1 viewer you can have your stream shutdown if Blizzard pursues it.
