South Korea slaps ₩435M fine on Twitch for suspending service
- c0balt 3y ago> The KCC also imposed another fine of 15 million won on Twitch for its failure to implement a system to prevent the distribution of illegal footage. That's an interesting point. I wonder how much processing would be required to get something similar to YouTub's Content ID system for twitch. YouTube has it at least somewhat working for their livestreams but that surely wasn't easy given their scale and the latency requirements for livestreams.
