Streamers argue that hundreds and thousands of people who watch their streams get to listen to these songs and so they believe the benefits are mutual. Therefore, banning those who share an artist’s work is highly unfair. Thus, previously, various artists, including LilyPichu, T-Pain, and even Drake, have permitted streamers to use their music.

There are still many music labels that hunt down content creators using their music. They claim all the revenue for the videos and even strike their channels. However, in a recent tweet, Corpse Husband said he has been asking music labels to refrain from this.
When are these artists and labels going to realize it's not always smart to just claim or strike YouTubers and Twitch streamers using their music? I've been trying to tell them this on the inside for months.
Stop taking the quick $ and let people who like your stuff share it

Corpse Husband has the support of major creators
Creators like MrBeast and Karl Jacobs replied to Corpse’s tweet supporting his views. They justified how they only want to use the music fairly and do not intend to profit from other artists. MrBeast argued that millions of viewers who might have never heard an artist would now look them up if they hear the track from the favorite streamer.
THIS! We arnt asking to play your entire song, just let us play like 10 seconds over a montage or use it in a transition. I just don’t see how it does any harm and it will introduce your music to literally 10s of millions of unique viewers that might not have heard you.

Various songs have blown up following the rise of Tik Tok that people would have never heard before. Clearly, the current relationship between music labels and content creators needs improvement.
cant believe they still have this mentality despite artists blowing up from the virality of their songs on tiktok etc… been proven too many times for them to keep ignoring.

Hopefully, with all the influence these popular streamers and content creators possess, there might be a change coming soon. Until then, one will have to rely on those who make their music copyright-free.
