TWITCH OFFERS USERS LICENSED MUSIC WITH ‘SOUNDTRACK’ PROGRAM - ANNOUNCES UNITEDMASTERS AS A DISTRIBUTION PARTNER
“This launch from Twitch is a gamechanger for independent artists everywhere.” - Steve Stoute, Founder & CEO of UnitedMasters
Twitch, the livestreaming and gaming platform owned by Amazon, now offers users a way to avoid copyright takedowns when using music, although it has not yet licensed by major labels.
The platform on Wednesday announced the beta launch of Soundtrack by Twitch, a music-streaming service within the platform that includes more than a million songs by independent artists that users can employ in their livestreams, legally and free of charge, with all rights cleared.
