“Yeah, I might get one extra sale” –Shura (www.twitch.tv/weareshura)
It’s a strange time for Twitch, copyrighted music and for every artist used to performing in person but suddenly being unable. We wanted to get a nuanced opinion from both a streamer and a musician, so we sat down with Shura (she/her) to talk about DMCA Strikes, subscription services and digital ownership rights, feat: Mat J, Alex CG (they/them) and Alex P (he/him).
