In recent years, Twitch has become the most important live streaming platform in the world. It now hosts many content creators of all kinds who, thanks to their community, propel the Amazon platform to the top. But while success seems to be on the way, Twitch can sometimes be subject to various controversies. Thus, we are sometimes confronted with rather unusual stories, such as the National Assembly which prohibits broadcasts from the hemicycle or even this streamer who risks prison for having made lives.
Rather risky streams
Anastasia Rose by her nickname is a German streamer who really started her activities in April 2021 on Twitch after an injury which forced her to take sick leave. Before that, she was a military chief warrant officer for the Bundeswehr and worked as a nurse in a hospital in Berlin. The streamer used the platform to broadcast her musical sets live and made a name for herself as a virtual DJ. Thus, she has accumulated tens of thousands of followers on Twitch, well beyond Germany. Only problem, this activity could cost him very dear...
It was last week that the Berlin public prosecutor's office published its complaint to Anastasia Rose. In question ? 23 cases of refusal to comply for having worked as a DJ while she was on sick leave and was prohibited from carrying out a secondary activity.
Stream or quit?
While she was not supposed to carry out a secondary activity while she was on sick leave (but still under contract with the German military forces), the prosecution also accuses her of having sold merchandising items such as as perfumes and clothes and regularly produce new clips on Twitch. Since July 20, 2021, she has received a total of ten explicit orders from her superior , the captain, to no longer carry out this secondary activity. Nevertheless, between August 7, 2021 and June 8, 2022, she would have performed a total of 23 times, partly live and partly on stream.
In view of the success of her side business, Anastasia Rose has repeatedly expressed her desire to give up her military job in the Bundeswehr to become a full-time DJ. For the moment, no one knows what the justice will decide but it is unlikely that she will receive a prison sentence because for that, the justice must clearly establish that she exercised an activity which undermines her work as a military or that it is not a purely artistic activity. From now on, the justice of Berlin must render its verdict.
While Elden Ring has just won the prestigious title of Game of the Year at the Game Awards 2022, Hidetaka Miyazaki seems to have very big plans for his game. Would a big DLC be on the program from FromSoftware?
