Twitch and Warner Music Group have agreed to use the same reporting system announced in last week's National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) deal. The process claims to offer more flexibility, offering warnings to streamers who accidentally broadcast materials under copyright instead of immediate DMCA takedowns.

Content creators on Twitch have spent over a year now dealing with harsh DMCA takedowns that result in immediate punishment with little or no recourse to appeal. The streaming platform has been at odds with the music industry for hosting copywritten work, looking to game developers to implement bizarre streamer-friendly modes, and even implementing a plug-in in partnership with Spotify.

Today's announcement from Twitch says Warner Music has agreed to use its new process, meaning you still can't stream any music that falls under copyright from Warner—content creators are still subject to punishment. This new system outlines a review process for reports, and says it will "give creators a chance to course-correct by first issuing a warning". Twitch will still delete VODs and clips containing music from NMPA and Warner, and it may impose harsher penalties if it looks like you have "several specified flagrant music uses".

The official Warner Music Group press release confirms with, "Twitch has created a new process that participating music rights holders, including WMG, can opt into to report certain uses of their music, to address when creators inadvertently or incidentally use music in their streams."

Warner and Twitch also plan to collaborate on exclusive channels for Warner Music Group artists, specifically mentioning viral stars like Bella Poarch, Saweetie, and Sueco. Twitch will host three new programming channels for the media giant, including channels that feature talent popularized by streaming on the platform.

Twitch's deal with Warner and the NMPA has left much of the community confused and frustrated over its vague guidelines, and Twitch acknowledged as much with a promise for more details "shortly."
