       | I'm sure Metallica doesn't really care, but it's ironic given
       | that a large part of the mess we're in today (with the large
       | platforms fearing copyrighted works showing up for 1/10th of a
       | second) stems directly from Metallica.
       | 
       | I did however see a video by Tom Scott recently about how the
       | copyright system is broken; and it's not the platforms fault.

         | which was on the twitch homepage.
