Why limit highlights to 2 hours?

Did the google takeover influence your decision to implement the new system?

Why 30 minute mutes? The average length of a song today is around ~3.

With how cheap storage is and the amount you'll have access to given the google merger and their limitless storage why delete old content at all?

How do you feel about the guilty until proven innocent pov of contentID systems?

Would you rather burn alive 1000 ant sized RIAA lawyers with a magnifying glass or disembowel 1 horse sized RIAA lawyer?

I thought the law was that it's up to the music industry to find cases of piracy and then report them to you at which point you review them, verify and then take them down or get sued. ContendID is a sort of lazy we can't keep up with the volume of complaints so we're covering our ass even if it gets a huge amount of false positives approach.

Was the amount of pressure being put upon you by the RIAA and similar organizations that high? It seems.. unlikely. The original youtube change really didn't have anything to do with video game streamers. More with people uploading things like "!DHp027 sregnevA ehT" or just videoless / no commentary music tracks that were easily downloaded with 3rd party software. The idea that people are stealing music industry money by finding old twitch vods downloading them and then painstakingly removing the horrible quality spotify -> cheap microphone audio from the streamers other noises is kinda of bizzare.

Showing cleavage isn't allowed on twitch? It's allowed in public.

I think the difference here is that obviously you shouldn't be able to. However if someone does they shouldn't arrest moot or the reddit admins or something for it.

They're just providing a forum for users to post content. If someone else murders someone in your house and you have nothing to do with it you shouldn't be charged with murder.

You said you've worked with the FBI and lectured there.

Based on your experiences how much do you feel that the push for investigations into this sort of thing, child porn, cyber bullying, laws making website operators liable for user generated content on their sites etc. Is actually motivated by compassion for the victims and how much is driven by copyright lobbyists wanting to hamstring pirates in a round about fashion and big government wanting us to give it more tools to monitor all traffic over the internet?
