Starting my weekend well by filing yet another DMCA as yet another streamer stole my emotes
I've filled DMCA so many times now that I have a saved form I just copypaste names into. Will it ever stop?
Your emotes should be YOU. Relatable to YOUR channel.

I love your emotes! They fit you and your channel, and you alone! Stealing emotes is lame and will always come out. Get your own emotes made! I know some people who steal other people's art and then promote themselves as emote artists :( Doesnt Twitch check new emotes tho?

They don’t but it would be a collossal work to check them, with the amount of people streaming. Luckily now we got external tools to check if anyone copied your emotes. It’s just, as you said, lame. I get it some want to cut corners but this ain’t it.

It really wouldn't be that much work on twitch's behalf. The tech to match images is widespread and cheap, you can even do it on a Google search. Going a little further and investing in AI image matching and they could solve it

Yes and no. There are plenty of cases where artists sell generic emotes several people use. And in case of any matches, it means Twitch would have to assume who has the legal rights and who doesn't, without real knowledge. That puts them in their own legal trouble.
