In a fairly surprising take, Alex Hutchinson, the creative director at Google Stadia, has stated that streamers should be paying video game publishers for the games that they stream. The statement seems to have been prompted by the recent DMCA takedown notices that streamers received regarding music used during streams. While streamers are clearly looking to avoid any further claims of copyright infringement, it seems like a safe bet that streamers won't have to worry about this from game publishers anytime soon. Hutchinson does not see it that way, however, arguing that publishers could choose to start enforcing copyrights, as well. The tweets from Hutchinson can be found below.
