For years now, many gamers have become professionals and started to make a living by streaming their gaming live online. This is so that other people can watch, learn and be entertained, and it is a popular pastime for many. Some people even earn their living this way, and if not their whole living, they make a very decent amount of money from it.

If you are a live streamer, what you might not actually know is that an algorithm could shut you down due to copyright laws. If the service thinks you are breaking copyright law, your streaming can be suspended immediately. Many users are saying that this is also leading to months of being banned.

So should you stay away from live video game streaming? There seems to be some hypocrisy there, with some people claiming that the big players, who get the platforms lots of popularity, are not being banned. It’s still a work in progress and people are unsure how it will work out.
