Each performer will earn money from their streams, but they now also have to cover the royalties that go to the artists whose music they play.
The program's potentially limiting catalog and opaque plans for revenue for DJs have left some wondering whether the livestreaming giant has developed a sustainable place for them.
Twitch has yet to reveal how nonapproved songs would be detected.
DJs are worried about what will happen if they play music that’s outside the preapproved library.
