Yeah, because the RIAA won't likely sub to me to search my content. Deleting the VODs does absolutely nothing if they're publicly available, so this is the next best thing.

Isn't it Twitch themselves searching the content for them, similar to how sites like Youtube etc... have to scan their own things based on what is provided to them by the MPAA/RIAA

Don't know the specifics, and it doesn't matter, because their claim that deleting your VODs/clips is all you need to do has already been shown to be false. They cache your shit and have it backed up anyway.

Right, so it's Twitch scanning and not the RIAA, so them being locked behind subs won't matter.

Twitch however can't sue you because they are not holding the rights to the music. So even if they searched and knew, it doesn't matter.

however if they pass it on (and really, why would they?) that's a different story. I find that unlikely. You got any hot stuff on your VODs that's still not nuked?

The way these things are typical setup as far as I understand them is that the platforms have a legal responsibility to scan their content using identifying data that is provided to them and flag content that matches, flags which are then available to the involved parties. So, a recording company has a dataset containing their music that can be matched against scanned audio data, it's flagged if appropriate, and then something happens to either escalate it into a strike or ignore it.

I could easily be wrong with this though as who the fuck really knows how this draconian clusterfuck works.
