Twitch announces a program allowing DJs to split revenue with record labels


The program only applies to livestreamed sets.

Livestreaming platform Twitch announced a new program aimed at DJs today that will allow creators to use copyrighted music in their streams by paying a fee. “DJs often build upon and leverage pre-recorded music from other artists as a critical part of their creative expression,” the company wrote in a blog post. Twitch notes that until this point, DJs streaming on the platform have been responsible for handling any copyright problems that arise on their own.
