It’s just scientific fact that they love being slaves to corporations unlike us, the proudly independent and individualistic Westerners smuglord

    Another example I can think of is Japanese game streamers will always mute the stream if they are playing a game section where a copyrighted song is played because they fear Japanese copyright laws (e.g. playing Kingdom Hearts but muting during the opening theme).

    Not trying to dunk on you but have you just started watching twitch or youtube? This is something everyone on these platforms has to do because the automatic copyright systems these platforms use are so ridiculous that a 5 second clip of copyrighted material can allow permament theft of the revenue of hours of content. Youtube lets the copyright law of all states effect everyone easily.

      Yeah non-official streams of the Game Awards are like 75% the streamer muting the audio do avoid copyright strike.
