## **The Rundown** If you've been around Twitch for a while, you're likely familiar with the concept of the *Digital Millennium Copyright Act* or DMCA. If you're not, the gist of it is this: If you include media (including music) in your broadcast without having the proper permission from the copyright holder, you'll receive a copyright strike from Twitch on behalf of the owner. 3 strikes and you're out, which leaves your account permanently suspended. If you want to read more about how Twitch operates in relation to DMCA, check out their [article](https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/dmca-and-copyright-faqs). ## **The Music** Thankfully, there are sources where you can find copyright-free and DMCA safe music to include in your streams, so let's get down to it. #### **StreamBeats by Harris Heller** ![StreamBeats](https://i.imgur.com/3DXeG6c.png) Harris Heller is a [YouTuber](https://www.youtube.com/harrisheller), [Twitch streamer](https://www.twitch.tv/harrisheller), and musician who has created a massive amount of DMCA-safe music tracks specifically for streamers to use without worry.
