Can Small Streamers Use Copyrighted Music?
In short, No. Though smaller streamers may seem to slip under the radar, it is against Twitch’s terms of service to use copyrighted content anywhere on your channel.
Can I use copyrighted music if I give credit?
As a general rule, you can not use copyrighted music simply by giving credit. You must have permission from the music copyright owner before using music in your content and projects.
How do I check if something is copyrighted?
You can search through copyright files by visiting the Copyright Office at www.copyright.gov/records.
All copyright information is located in the Public Catalog (click “Search Public Catalog”) which contains information about works registered since January 1978.
Are slowed songs copyrighted? The simple answer is YES. The speed has nothing to do with the infringement. You are violated both the copyright that protects that performance in time as well as the copyright that protects the actual sound. Anytime you use someone else’s music without permission, it is a copyright violation.
