Music & streaming

This is the wrong forum, next time Uncategorized
may be a better fit - but that aside:

  1. You do not own the rights to rebroadcast the music. That right rests with the copyright owner.

  2. “Unauthorized distribution or exhibition violates federal laws…” is what is normally stated on media, such as when I look at the back of a Blu-Ray box. Broadcasting on Twitch violates that.

  3. You could talk to Twitch Legal and see if getting an ASCAP license (http://www.ascap.com/licensing) would allow you to stream music. The license fees are not cheap.

I imagine that Twitch does not have the ability to scan a live stream to check for copyright infringement but has software that does so on the recordings. That is why the recordings are flagged and muted.
