Twitch CEO: 'We have absolutely no intention' of running copyright audio scans on Twitch livestreams

Correction: This story originally claimed Twitch will not mute audio that violates copyright during live streams. It will strike accounts that stream unauthorized content when Twitch receives a DMCA notice from the copyright holder.

Yesterday, Twitch revealed that it will start muting 30 minute chunks of archived videos that contain copyrighted music and audio. Today, its chief executive officer is promising that the company isn’t going to bring this to its live broadcasts.
