>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.
>Germany is not alone in enforcing this kind of legislation. China also requires certain streamers to hold a license in order to broadcast content.
>It's not yet clear whether German streamers will have to follow the exact same regulations that TV broadcasters do, but if so, they will have to follow at 10pm watershed.
gotta pay for social services for all of those rapefugees somehow, right?

Licenses for radio makes sense.
Licenses for a Youtube/Twitch channel is just stupid in a technical way.
This is just the government being the government and trying to control every aspect of a society.
Matthew Perez
It really doesn't make any sense. Radio and online streaming are completely different mediums. I honestly can't see for what other reason then to censor their own people that they would do this.
Parker Williams
Wait until shitposting is considered "journalism" and requires a license too.
Jose Robinson
Better start taxing Sup Forums posts and talking in public.

>German authorities have officially recognised Twitch as a 'radio service offering'
they have not, only streamers who stream 24/7 (automated streaming of archived footage) that can't be influenced by the viewer is reqired a licence. Not twitch streamers or streamers in general.
Logan Adams
Wtf? Do you need a license for journalism in germany???

who cares, all the top "german" twitch streamers are cucks.
YOUTUBE will be next, guys. the problem is independent voices being mainstreamed without the say of the all powerful jews behind the scenes. if they can't filter your information sources, they'll find sneaky little ways to censor it. it might sound unrelated because it's just twitch, but this is the beginning. make no mistake, this is being done for the same reasons there are pushes against "fake news" and calls for censorship of the internet. some opinions, ideas and voices are just TOO dangerous for the fucking governments of the world to allow (because you know, then people might wake up and not let the government fuck them in the ass any longer)

Connor Cooper
Isn't the whole point of a broadcasting license to limit who can take up bandwidth on the air? The internet has practically unlimited bandwidth, how can they possibly justify rulings like this? Did Germany run out of competent lawyers after they killed all the jews?
Brayden Cooper
This is great if true.

it's still retarded. by those terms, my web site requires a lincene becsuse it is 'broadcasting 24/7'
Even our government haven't came up with such kind of nonsence. So I call it fake news.

She's trolling, boys. Venti is dead, though. She retired the persona.

If you're broadcasting 24/7, in what way are you different from a radio station apart from the fact that you're using another medium?

>I donate $200 to Brittany every week, because her boyfriend doesn't work. Lazy cunt. I think she's into me though. I'm one of her two mods (the other being her boyfriend) but she always talks to me in stream. I always asked if she can flash on hitbox, but she just ignores me so I stopped asking lol but yeah, her boyfriend is a major loser, and she needs to be with someone that can support her.
