‘Destiny 2’ DLC Suddenly Results In Copyright Strikes For Streamers
from the oops dept
We haven’t always spoken in glowing terms about Bungie, the game studio behind the Destiny franchise. That being said, in more recent days, Bungie has also taken some very positive steps when it comes to protecting its fans from copyright takedown abuse, while also highlighting for the record that the DMCA takedown process employed by streaming sites absolutely sucks out loud. So, when it comes to how Bungie generally behaves on matters of intellectual property, it’s kinds of like an annoying Facebook relationship status: it’s complicated.
Well, the Destiny 2 streaming community is getting hit with more copyright issues, this time over on Twitch. It appears that anyone who is streaming some recently released DLC for the game is finding their streams getting muted due to the game’s soundtrack.
Apparently, these copyright strikes are a result of the in-game music, and streamers on Twitch are getting muted as a result of this. Some users have even received repeated notifications from Twitch after instances of copyrighted audio were found in their VODs. It is believed that this was never the case with the previous streams and has only occurred with the new DLCs.
Now, several of those streamers have pushed back on Twitch, indicating that they have never had a problem streaming Destiny games in the past. Twitch responded to several of them with a confirmation that copyrighted music was being played during their streams and that that was the reason for the mute.
The problem is that the Destiny team apparently didn’t intend for any of this to be happening.
As of the time of this writing, the cause of all of this hasn’t been publicly identified, nor a fix for it issued. But it seems pretty clear based on the Destiny team’s response and how it has handled streaming for its games previously that this wasn’t intended.
Which sucks! And highlights again that, even with the best of intentions, enforcing copyright automagically at scale is, well, impossible.

PP Needle Punched Fabrics
This layered web moves next through one or more needlelooms (moving boards with hundreds of barbed needles) to entangle the fibers and consolidate the web. The frequency and direction of punching, degree of needle penetration and the architecture of the needles themselves can all be varied to control the physical characteristics of the resultant fabric. The resultant product is a dense, strong fabric with good resilience, suitable for an array of end applications.

Don't Play Destiny 1
My first Playstation 4 experience was playing the first Destiny game last month. It was a very fun experience of downloading all of the updates, installing it on my console, and after blowing through all that bandwidth, I got greeted with an error message. So, I took the lemon I was handed and made lemonade by telling people that Destiny 1 doesn’t work and you may want to avoid it despite some of the documentation you may read online about this still being a functional game. Also during my YouTube video, I got to rant about why video games as a service are destined to eventually be expensive drink coasters sooner or later unless game developers convert it into a single player game once the “services” have run their course. Not the start to the PS4 console I was expecting, but the start I ended up having in the end.
(If anyone wants a link to the video, I can post it as a response. Just figure that the warning about it being broken was sufficient for anyone who wasn’t aware.)
Re:
I still play D1 just fine. In fact I PREFER it to D2. It’s a full complete game that only ever had content ADDED to it instead of constantly REMOVED. You can play the story from start to end, for example, and it didn’t try to rip you off with FOMO-based storylines that only exist for a few months to ensure you’re coming back and renting a new one every few months.
Re: Re:
That’s odd. The disc never worked for me, but maybe it works on a different system/PC? All I know is that I spent two days trying to connect to the servers, but all I got was an error message, saying that it couldn’t connect and booted me back to the intro splash screen.
I hesitate to rush and pat Bungie on the back over this. True, they did see first-hand what it was like to fall on the wrong side of a fraudulent DMCA claim. Perhaps they did learn from that experience. Or it may simply be a case of another department not getting the memo.
The original article includes a Twitch partner pointing out Twitch’s rules of not permitting ingame music if it violates copyright, suggesting that it might not be Bungie at fault. Or it could be one of the soundtrack’s artists deciding to file some strikes and complaints. So if nothing else, it’s another large company erring on the side of copyright caution to the detriment of its users. Expect to see the typical lip service, hand-wringing and tongue-clicking that accompanies apologism for copyright overreach.
