Twitch streamer Forsen was just hit with the third ban of his long career on the platform, but it remains unclear which rule he violated. With recent trends, most people predict it to be another DMCA regulation crackdown<\/a> after the recent surge of bans that hit similarly high-profile streamers.<\/p>\n

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (\u201cDMCA\u201d) is the set of laws that Twitch and other streaming platforms must abide by, most often pertaining to music played on stream. DMCA takedowns<\/a> occur when a copyright holder believes a streamer is using their content without permission, and petitions Twitch to take it down. Takedowns have increased immensely in the last month, shaking the community as many high-profile streamers catch bans and warnings, often for years-old VODs containing copyrighted music.<\/p>\n

While still unconfirmed, mass speculation points to popular Starcraft <\/em>and\u00a0Hearthstone\u00a0<\/em>player\u00a0Forsen being the latest victim of the DMCA crackdown. Other big-name streamers including JakeNbake, LIRIK, and Pokimane have also been affected by the recent warnings and bans.<\/p>\n
