Yeah, um, no. There's a few reasons we can all have a polite chuckle at Lil Miss 2/10's latest fuckup...
- She literally just exposed herself to millions of dollars worth of liabilities to Shub-Viacom/CBS.
- Not only that, she potentially just exposed Twitch to those same liabilities if Viacom/CBS subpoenas their internal emails and discovers they had red flag knowledge that she was actively engaging in copyright infringement as this would completely nullify any protection they otherwise qualified for under OCILLA (the provision of the DMCA that protects third parties from liability for copyright infringements committed by their users).
- Moreover, if Viacom/CBS wants to get REALLY nasty they can argue that she's acting as an agent of Twitch and thus, through agency theory, impute her actions to Twitch itself, and thereby bypass OCILLA's protections yet again.
So while her tard-wrangler may've told her she's only getting a 48 hour ban out of this, that's probably not what's going to happen. You don't expose your business partners to millions of dollars in potential liabilities and get to just giggle, squeal
"omeggylol, subscribe to keemstar!", and walk away. Her pretending she can just walk away and take her simp brigade over to Youtube is peak ethot delusion. Exactly how this will shake out is anyone's guess because this all depends on just how Viacom wants to let this play out. They have to be fully aware of the Twitch meta of ethots illegally streaming copyrighted content, and what better way to nip that shit then to target the biggest ethot they can find and mop the floor with her.
At a guess: Twitch decides to give her a week-long ban and uses this as leverage to try to renegotiate their split with her, clawing back more of the money because of the business risk she poses. She, in a huff, terminates their contract and decides to leave for Youtube. Viacom decides to make an example out of her and subpoenas records from Twitch to see just how many people were watching her streams when she was willfully committing copyright infringement, and how much money was made by all sources. Thanks to their recent falling out Twitch, rather than opposing this measure, cooperates fully. Viacom thus has access to all the information it needs to seek actual damages under the law and decides to prosecute. An offer of settlement is made which she promptly rejects. The case goes to trial. She loses and winds up spending a few million in legal fees, plus paying damages and court costs for Viacom. By the time the dust settles... she's lost virtually everything she earned and forced to start from nearly square one on Youtube.
Note that none of the preceding requires anything too out of the ordinary for her or anyone else involved. It's perfectly plausible. All it requires is for her to remain just as narcissistic and retarded as she's been for the last umpteen years running, and for Viacom to decide she's a good test case to put a stop to streamers making money off their stuff by targeting the streaming platforms they use for liability.
And to think... it all was made possible by the fact that Twitch is run by thirsty fucks who let ethots do whatever they want. Meditate on that.
