What's wrong with nudity?
It's against the terms of use for Twitch [1]: "Nudity and sexually explicit content or activities, such as pornography, sexual acts or intercourse, and sexual services, are prohibited." [1] https://www.twitch.tv/p/legal/community-guidelines/

I thought body painting and other "artistic" displays of nudity where allowed. Am I wrong?

#124All these comments and not one of how awesome Herman Li is? Even if you are not at all into the type of music he plays (though, come on, shredding and video game sounds!) I think there's quite a virtuosity to be appreciated. Plus he tries (not sure how that fits with record companies) to let people use his music as they want.
Has he gotten better live? I remember his older live shows he could be a real drunken sloppy mess compared to the album recordings. I was fairly disappointed seeing them live.

#125When will platforms start to be charged for their mistakes? Pretty sure if they had to make financial compensations for their mistakes, they would start using humans more often to support this crap automated system. You would start to see more people being able to reach human support, getting human replies, etc. Would be pretty easy - for each day without reply, fine X. For X day of suspension, fine Y. And so on. If…
This perspective is completely baffling to me. This was an algorithmic mistake not a targeted attacked, Twitch is also a free service the use of which is a privilege not a right. This is just a product of the business environment surrounding copyrighted works and advertising, Twitch would be perfectly happy to continue raking in cash from everything on the platform, but that just isn't possible. If you just think abo…

Copyright doesn't cover live performances, this would be ASCAP licensing or something similar though it seems if he's "playing his own music" then none of the above should apply.
Copyright law does cover live performances. ASCAP is an agency which enforces copyright on live performances.

I meant that someone can't assert copyright over your live performance of your own compositions as it occurs. Copyright can be asserted over a recording of course. Someone might try to assert copyright over portions of the music I suppose. In this context though there's no way for copyright to be valid unless he's assigned the copyright to someone else which doesn't seem to be the case barring any further information…
They can, that is how ASCAP functions.

The copyright for their music is held by Universal
