>Germany labels Twitch a ‘radio service’, tells streamers they now require a broadcasting license
>German authorities have officially recognised Twitch as a 'radio service offering' and streamers will now require licenses.
>Popular German YouTube and Twitch channel PietSmiet (pictured) has been told it will need a license to continue to stream.
>German broadcast authority the Landesmedienanstalt has temporarily ruled that live-streaming requires a broadcasting license, which costs between €1,000 and €10,000€ depending on the number of viewers, according to this Reddit post.
>Those without a license will technically be classed as a pirate station and could be shut down.
which is fine since this isnt new, the streamer know they need to pay but never did until now.

Can the rest of the EU and the Yanks (actually fuck it, the entire world) please tax the fuck out of Twitch and Youtube "content creators" (seriously, what a dumb fucking job title) as well please
I am sick and fucking tired of kids shitting up youtube and twitch with their garbage making it hard to find the good stuff

You have a point, we should totally kill the entire aspect of a free media uploading service by taxing any normal person who just wants to have fun and entertain people.
Samuel Williams
It's a free market, if you don't like it make your own shit videos, just scream like a retard at videogames and you'll make the big bucks friendo
Noah Edwards
>by taxing any normal person who just wants to have fun and entertain people nothing wrong with taxing, if everyone else need to pay taxes streamers should do that too. Its not like they lose everything.
Aiden Foster
I dont mind people earn money with shitty videos but they should get taxed too, that has nothing to do with being against the free marked.
Jose Brown
As far as I know they still have to pay income tax in the UK, introducing government control on whether or not they can fucking stream is not just about paying taxes. How is it your government can be just as authoritarian but still be cucked?
Aiden Cooper
>UK pushing back against licenses for arbitrary things >implying they're not 100% going to be next
David Cooper
they pay taxes but not enough. It requires a broadcasting license to stream videos which are more than one hour and this isnt new but this people ignored it until now. Also they clearly need to show if they advertise something which they dont so they get punished.

Im curious. Could you stream for 59 mins or so, shut off the stream then restart it? Since the way it sounds, is under an hour and you dont gotta pay and ending a stream and restarting a new one could be seen as separate events.
Lincoln Carter
>The fact that you require someone to get a licence to post videos on the fucking internet doesn't seem suspicious to you? No becouse you only need a licence if you earn money with the videos. Its not just posting videos its like a job.

They already pay taxes, moron. They probably contribute more taxes than you do.

This is completely insane. You can't have a free country with these kinds of limitations.
Angel Morgan
Absolute bullshit. Control of information.
Gavin Clark
I dont realy know desu but I watched some vids from german youtubers and they said they need to get that licence and youth protection which also cost money. Its fine people earn money with their hobby but its not fair if they dont need to follow the laws like everyone else.

If you were to stream using a VPN what would the german government do? Or if you were to only stream it to places outside of germany?

that's actually a good question, doesn't this mean German camwhores would need to do the license and tax too?
Zachary White
>That is their parents responsibility, not the fucking state. wrong, if you think that you should never get kids. Parents cant see everything. By your logic alcohol and tobaco shouldnt have age restriction since its the parents responsibility.
Levi Campbell
>Smells like fucking with free speech.
There's a massive crackdown on free speech in Germany happening at the moment. Parliament is passing a law that makes websites such as Youtube or Facebook liable to pay up to 50 million € if they don't remove "hatespeech" immediately. An ex-Stasi member is in charge of policing social media at the behest of the government. Independent media is being demonetized from Youtube because of content which doesn't agree with mainstream media.

Germans willingly became part of the Stasi apparatus, the secret police. Estimates are that 1 in 6 Germans were informants for Stasi.
East Germany is well-known for building the "Anti-Fascist Protection Barrier" (aka Berlin Wall)
What happens today is just what happened 50 years ago, except the leftists win this time.

They want the control to shut down streamers that don't promote (((their))) agenda.
Commit a thought crime on stream, get your licence revoked.

It's statist nonsense. Politicians want to control what people say and stream online. They will revoke the license to silence people.
