Twitch Replaces Live Metallica Audio With Hilarious Folk Music to Avoid Copyright Violation
Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorThe gaming platform Twitch, which has had no shortage of music-copyright issues in recent months, cut off the audio for Metallica’s BlizzCon performance Friday due to legal concerns, replacing it with comically inappropriate instrumental folk music. That the switch came in the middle of “Enter Sandman,” one of the group’s biggest hits, only made the disconnect more enraging and/or hilarious.According to reports in Metal Injection and other outlets, the news was first reporting by e-sports analyst Rod “Slasher” Breslau, who also was reluctant to post the full clip, although others did in short order.
