DragonForce's legendary le𒅌ad guitarist Herman Li isn't happ💞y with Universal Music Group.
Unfortunately, the musician has run into some obnoxious issues regarding copyright censorship on Twitch. He took some time during a stream to vent to his viewers, claiming that his VODs are being blocked by Universal as a result of him playi🌄ng his own songs.
Li was clearly upset over the matter. "It is out of control." The guitarist had no pꦚatience left to give. "I don't have time to email these idiots that are not even paying royalties." Labels often claim to fight for their artists, but as Universal Music Group is actively proving, some can become so big that they lose sight of their primary function. "They owe me money. They're not even paying it."
The situation is pretty ridiculous, all things considered. Not only is Li's Twitch income hurt by the situation, the copyright strikes are supposed to be protecting the earnings of creators in the first place. Considering that Li is the original creat🉐or of the copyrighted material, he should be the last one to have to deal with this.
It's especially strange that he isn't reaping any rewards from claims, either. Li even mentioned that they had an in💟-house lawyer, hinting that he's about had enough. More like "Through the Fire and Claims" – am I right?
In all seriousness, straightening out incorrect DMꦐCA take-downs are 😼an absolute nightmare to deal with. Some have been quick to slam the Universal team for not even recognizing the very musicians they claim to represent, but likely, these take-downs are automated. With any luck, it's an issue that hasn't been seen by anyone f🧸rom the label yet; Maybe they can quickly sort out th𒀰e mishap. Until then, hopefully Li continues to bless us with his face-melting Twitch streams.
The British metal band is known for it's virtuoso guitar lines, many parts thanks to Li's skills. Hearing him shred out various licks over the pa🃏st month has been a real treat for DragonForce fans. Twitch provides an interesting lens for people to see professional musicians at work, as normally fans would only be able ♍to witness their craft via concerts and music videos.
