Germany wants to regulate a 24-hour livestream as a broadcaster
You might want to think twice about running a non-stop livestream just because you can – at least in Germany, regulators will want to have a word with you. They've told the 24-hour let's play channel PietSmietTV that it has to apply for a broadcasting license by April 30th if it wants to keep running. While it's operating through Twitch and YouTube instead of TV or radio, it technically meets all the legal definitions of a broadcaster: it's a "linear information and communication service" aimed at the public, with an editorial focus and not meant for personal purposes. Channel founder Peter Smits is respecting the decision, so there isn't going to be a fight.
And importantly, this isn't a one-off case. Officials see this as setting an example that could apply to other livestreams that fit the terms. While they'd like to see legislation that specifically regulates internet streams, they've decided to apply existing law in the meantime.
The problem, of course, is that this isn't a modest request for most people. On top of the usual paperwork, streamers are looking at a cost of between €1,000 to €10,000 ($1,080 to $10,800). That's relatively trivial for a TV station, but it's a lot more intimidating for someone streaming video from home. And there's also the question of what else falls under this regulation. Would shorter streams and on-demand video also qualify? There's a chance that German internet users will have to think very carefully before they go live.
Just another step on the ride to turn internet video into the successor to telavivsion now that it's grown more popular than the standard TV broadcast.

Just another way to wrangle in the greatest threat to Germany's traitorous government: narrative creation

That's what you get when you live in a cucked shithole like Germany. Germany: A shitty country where you have no rights.
John Russell
Is it really illegal to listen to songs like "Deutschland Erwache" in Germany? Like, could you get some jail time for having it downloaded or listening to it off YouTube somehow?

Shouldn't google or amazon rape them in court?

Be careful, a cuck mod banned me for "d&c" for saying something similar user. Talking mean stuff about the second most cucked european nationals are ban worthy apparently.
Ah, and before I forget, if a german user is reading this I love you guys I wish you well

Shit like this and Krautchan's death indicates to me a strong clamping down in reaction to very bad goy sentiment on the rise. Kind of a good thing in that it shows fear.
Ayden Nelson
my president embraces the american flag. that cunt you voted in throws yours into the fucking garbage. few things piss me off more than you fucking pussies sitting by watching your country turn to shit.

I'm sorry but where do you think America has been heading for the last century save a few desperate revivals? It's a sad state of affairs when you cling to your leader not being ashamed of his flag and this somehow making your situation better than someone else whose leader did different. We're all in this together, being less cucked still means you're cucked. Trumps a step in the right direction and not the end-all-be-all.
Charles Hill
How much of that is inflation of crime stats and how much of that are hispanics claiming to be white? Because they do that so fucking often it's not even funny.
Grayson Foster
The kikes make it easy to circumvent. In fact, there is a long tradition in the states involving this.
Where were you when the Jews brought back the 80's in Germany?
Aaron Foster
They're only white when they commit crimes, when crimes are committed against them (by niggers) they magically become "Hispanic."
Xavier Bailey
I believe you're looking for >>>/cuckchan/ They even have flags so you don't have to guess!

When will something be done about Europe? No amount of shitposting will stop it. If Le Pen loses it's over.
Isaiah Scott
$1000 is a paltry sum for giant, international companies to pay but it's an enormous burden on amateur, small-scale livestreamers. If anything, jewish companies like google are very happy that the German government is putting their competitors out of business through over-regulation.
Ian James
Your "president" is Bibi Netanyahu you filthy hook-nosed kike. Europe is a people, not a landmass, which is why Rhodesia was a European country and Zimbabwe is not. If whites become a minority in America we'll cease to be an extension of European civilization as well. All whites, whether we are Anglo, German, Slav, etc need to unite against the jewish menace and restore our rights to homogeneity and sovereignty within our own nations. Instead of attacking other whites, use your energies to attack jews.

The D&C is starting early in this thread. Ignore the bait and focus on the topic at hand. We all know (((who))) is really behind this decision. Is there anything that can be done to stop this or reverse it?
Jose Morgan
So in order to have 24 streaming you need a license, and in order to have a license you must have approved content?
Leo Ramirez
What does define a 24-hours channel ? If it plays only 23:59, is it still a 24-hours channel ? Is there a threshold ? Could they simply split into 2 or more subchannels and share the uptime ?
Hunter Thomas
Ah yes, it was pointed out how cucked germany is and as usual the non-german geraboos and autistic krauts come out in full force to defend Merkel
Charles Anderson
In before somebody starts a 24/7 stream of his toilet bowl / hamster cage / fireplace. Would love to see that one play out in court.

But the people streaming on youtube would be hit as well?
Hunter Cooper
That begs the question. If I stream a security camera 24/7 at a site that people can get onto, is it broadcasting?

Why don't you read our posts first before you call us pro-Merkel shills you fucking kike.
Wow, I sure wish we could get "based" laws like this in America.
And I'm not criticizing or trying to d&c Italians. We're all in this fight together against the jews. However, you don't even research the countries you're trying to pit against one another you kike.
William Hernandez
For fuck's sake Germans help us not to shit on your country then, I really don't remember any news showing anything positive happening in Germany, last I heard you guys are going to choose either Schulz or Merkel wich is basically the same shit. Everytime there is a Germany thread on Holla Forums it's either a happening with a bunch of shitskins killing native germans, an additional 1 million more refugees accepted, government censorship, autistic germans going on killing spree etc etc.

Yeah but AfD is polling well. No way Frauke will be chancellor this election but AfD will be there in the background growing as the next person fucks up the country even more. Also AfD wants the American military bases out of Germany AND to increase their own defense spending. Merkel will """"win"""" again thanks to EU meddling and the next wave of insane terror attacks will be the tipping point. The pieces are in place with Weimarization, an alternative outlet for people's anger existing and being a legitimate party, and of course Germans now have access to a National Socialist Throat Singing Bulletin Board. We can also pay them in cryptocurrency for bounties on kikes when the law and order goes down the toilet.
Also unlimited autobahn speeds. I find it interesting that that's an AfD platform for them but hey I dig it.
Nolan Moore
Why this is allowed?
Andrew Perry
Why google wont simply shut down its live streaming services at this point is beyond me sense there are FUCK LOADS of better alternatives then jewgle to Vblog that you know you can't make money on because X Y Z bullshit.
Noah Peterson
They don't give a fuck about "laws"

pls no

user, pls. pls user, you can't be that retarded, can you?

Use Periscope of Google Hangouts? This is prep work for when the rioting starts. They'll need to control communications if their dishonest message is to remain the dominate narrative. Otherwise, being outnumbered 10,000 to 1, it's all over for them.

This, they need to keep poking at this bullshit regulation and find loopholes. This will devastate anyone trying to document migrant crime in way that kike news agencies refuse to.
Jeremiah Brooks
Twitch is super cucked, if you think youtube is bad for removing moonman videos, wait until you see what twitch will ban you for.

what the fuck is with all the D&C shit in this thread. Europeans are our brothers and we should not be wasting time arguing or hating them

Italy is as cuked, maybe more than ZOG. You have a literal ferry service from Apefrica dropping of tens of thousands of niggers on the hour. The amanda knox case is also a perfect example of italian poz. They already had a nigger banged up for it, but of course we all know niggers don't murder so they had a have a long case about "muh kinky sex games" with some stupid America slut.
Julian Hall
Nobody cares about your opinion, so if you're interested in the German situation you'll have to look it up yourself. I visited Germany a couple of months ago, so I'll give you a headstart. They'll probably reach the equivalent of the USA of 2016 in 10-15 years if it continues like it has up to this point. The Deutsche Bank will crash long before that. And the AfD is the third-strongest party at the moment.
