Lately, a slew of streamers have been watching television shows with their audiences — most notably xQc tuning into Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares — prompting a slew of debate as to whether or not copyright companies will come after broadcasters at some point.

“Eventually, there’s a level of negligence where companies might start coming after them,” Ahgren said, before showing that the entirety of Spider-Man: No Way Home is available to stream on Twitch.

He avoided saying the name of the channel to sidestep getting into any trouble, but showed a bit of the flick as proof that someone had, indeed, uploaded the entire thing as a VOD.

Ludwig has been worried that Twitch’s inaction regarding copyrighted content could lead to a major crackdown similar to that on YouTube.

That’s not all; Ahgren even claimed that the VOD has been up for eight days without being taken down due to copyright infringement.

“I think this is the beast that’s getting poked at,” Ahgren said. “Eventually, like on YouTube, it causes trouble.”

Ludwig has expressed worries that Twitch’s inaction regarding copyright infringement could lead to a major crackdown in the near future.

Ahgren compared the ongoing situation with Twitch to the copyright system on YouTube, appearing to think that a similar future is in store for the rival streaming site if they don’t crack down.

Ironically, Ludwig’s broadcast discussing the topic has been taken down due to copyright infringement.

Despite this, it’s looking more likely than ever that Twitch is actually embracing the TV meta, with a potential collaboration between xQc and Gordon Ramsay recently getting teased.
