I was listening to his boring stream running in the background, and the only thing that he said today (that I heard) that could have triggered a ban, was him shouting "Uncle Ben's is racist now, the world is woke now!" or something like that, when some in-game Asian (Japanese) character said something about rice.

I wanted to archive it when I heard it, but I was playing a game... I'm currently looking into the DarkDave re-stream to see if I can find it.

-EDIT- The recording of (that part of) the re-stream isn't available yet, but the thing DSP said was at around 1 hour and 55 minutes into his stream today, just FYI.

Alright, got the clip. No idea if this is the thing that did it, but there you go:

Turned out this probably wasn't the reason, but I'll leave the clip up just for shits and giggles:





Summary

Saturday, July 18, 2020:

- DSP's Twitch channel got seemingly banned out of nowhere
- he went into full panic mode, as literally his whole livelihood is depending on the very unreliable platform that is Twitch
- did his usual emergency stream, with paypigs answering the whale calls to soothe him
- turned out his channel got suspended due to a DMCA claim on some of the channel's sub badges
- the channel was reinstated 7 hours after it had gone down
- DSP tried to call in the help of The Quartering and Rekieta
- DSP threatened Twitch (on a late Friday night) to give him an explanation and to promise him this won't happen ever again, or else he's leaving Twitch (lol)
- called Twitch "morons", "idiots" and whatnot
- said he's going to delete/not use most of the "art"work on his channel (sub badges, music, previously recorded streams etc.)
- accused Twitch of breaking the law and legal negligence

Sunday, July 19, 2020:

- Sunday evening, DSP's Twitch channel was suspended again
- DSP continues his "threats" of leaving Twitch



- Nick Rekieta invited DSP to go on stream with him "this week"



Monday, July 20, 2020:

- DSP's Twitch channel is still suspended at 10:30 AM Seattle time



- Fun fact: DSP has received at least $1,200 in cash since getting banned the first time (6 streams in total)

His Twitch channel is still suspended, btw.

Stream live updates:

- says he requested to get a new partner manager, since the other "guy" doesn't seem to be working for Twitch anymore
- admits he's breaking Twitch's ToS about not streaming on another platform while being partnered
- "Twitched fucked me over, so why would I care about their rules!?"
- "I want the Twitch situation resolved, but I'm not sure if that's going to happen; the update is not a very good update"
- says it looks like he'll be able to stream on Twitch again later today
- "I don't care about Twitch saying I can't stream anywhere else"
- "If I get kicked out of the Partner Program, then fuck it, I don't care"
- calls the DMCA claimer an "asshole"
- keeps stalling on telling what "the update" is about. Received $85 in about 33 minutes of talking on stream.
- Twitch's response to DSP's request to provide him info about what was claimed so he could file a counter-claim is an auto-response, and his ticket has been closed and marked as being 'resolved'
- "They didn't read it again!"
- an email from Twitch says the DMCA claim from Sunday was done on the "x 7 subscriber badge"
- the DMCA claimer has made a (in DSP's words) "bullshit page that acts like they created the badges in 2015". Then shows it on his phone to prevent his home IP being tracked:

- he claims that he did nothing wrong
- Twitch's email says his Twitch account will be terminated when he gets a third strike

As far as I can tell at this point, the DMCA claimer found out that DSP's sub badges were created by someone else in August of 2015 as part of a commission (misspelled "comission" btw) for a Twitch channel ("barbaro"-something). I can't read the actual website address, [something].blogspot.com. If this is true, and that website exists and the dates of creation are correct, the DMCA claim could actually be legitimate and Twitch has no other option than to honor the claims (I think? Paging Dr. @Null).

-EDIT- Got a better screenshot of the unknown Twitch channel that supposedly commissioned the crown sub badges. "Barbarousk" (maybe still missing some letters after this)

-EDIT- Could it be "BarbarousKing"? -> https://www.twitch.tv/barbarousking

I selected a random, recent VoD, but he's not using them at the moment, at least:

-EDIT- He just tweeted this out:

Perfect timing while he's possibly DEBUNKING himself.

-EDIT- Oh yeah, the website + commisioned sub badges are there alright: https://shanaflames.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2019-06-17T11:15:00-07:00&max-results=7 (http://archive.md/wip/q9u07) + direct link https://shanaflames.blogspot.com/2015/08/new-comission.html?m=1 (http://archive.vn/Bhn3H)

Shana confirms it's all bogus.
Hound created an entire blog of fake posts copied from her twitter to set all of this up.
Hound is the pettiest man alive.

- his channel was unbanned again, after which he was DDoS'ed and called his ISP for a new modem and IP address:





All the streams DSP conducted on Friday after his channel got banned (and unbanned) the first time:


1. Initial emergency live stream on Youtube (mirror)



2. "Let's Talk About the Twitch Suspension: What We Know & The Future" (original video on DSPGaming, no mirror)



3. "Banned, Unbanned and False DMCA What Happened On Twitch Today, July 17, 2020" (mirror)



4. "MY TWITCH IS UNBANNED! And I'm EXTREMELY Angry..." (mirror)
