“Hope Twitch is locked down legally”: CohhCarnage provides his take on the DMCA issue following Pokimane’s ban
Twitch streamer Ben "CohhCarnage" Cassell had some strong words to say about the platform's streamers, for their antics revolving around the decision to stream licensed content.
His comments came hours after news broke about Pokimane's two-day suspension after she watched Avatar: The Last Airbender on stream, and CohhCarnage believes that streamers like her are putting the platform in harm's way.

CohhCarnage was furious with streamers like Toast and Pokimane, as he believes that they are risking the platform getting in trouble by streaming licensed content.
He further tweeted about how Twitch has done nothing to protect the platform from its many issues, and how they are waiting for the people who hold the rights to certain medias to approach them and send DMCA complaints to streamers, because they don't want to be part of any legal trouble.
