Twitch replaced Metallica at the end of BlizzConline’s opening ceremony with generic royalty-free music to avoid a DMCA takedown – with hilarious results.
Soon after James Hetfield and co started rocking out, the lever pullers at Twitch replaced the band’s music with a plinky tune in an apparent bid to avoid potential takedowns.
This occurred on the Twitch Gaming channel, but it did not occur on other Twitch channels, such as Blizzard’s own, and it did not occur on the live stream on Blizzard’s YouTube channels (I was watching at the time).
