Dream, perhaps the biggest name in the history of Minecraft content creation, had his alternate account banned on Twitch. Many of his fans suggest he has a variety of Twitch accounts, but the prominent one sadly got banned for unknown reasons. While it is speculated that it is a DMCA, nothing concrete was given.Going to dreamwastaken, viewers can see that the account was banned for a “violation of Twitch’s Community Guidelines.” This led many to believe that it was a DMCA strike.dtqk updates !@updatingdtqkdreams alt twitch has been banned and therefore wont be able to stream or be on other streams .10726207dreams alt twitch has been banned and therefore wont be able to stream or be on other streams . https://t.co/9x7Kbgoz2vDream’s secondary Twitch account gets bannedThe reveal hit Twitter thanks to an account that shows updates for Dream’s content. It announced that the streamer cannot appear on other people’s streams, much less his own. However, in a response to a now-deleted tweet, he popped off on Twitter.dream@dreamwastaken@DWTUPDATEE WHOS GONNA STOP ME401461279@DWTUPDATEE WHOS GONNA STOP MEIt’s unlikely that the streamer’s going to show up on Twitch while he is banned, but a few people stated that they won't snitch on him if he goes live.DREAM UPDATES@DWTUPDATEE@dreamwastaken we won’t snitch if you go live 🫡11682108@dreamwastaken we won’t snitch if you go live 🫡While that may be true, there are tons of Twitch viewers who cannot stand the Minecraft content creator, so he would likely just get immediately reported. While there is no confirmation, the popular response is that it was a DMCA for the song Heatwaves.Heatwaves is a song by Glass Animals, which has gone viral thanks to a variety of TikTok content creators. There have been a number of remixes to the song, themed around Dream himself. It’s likely the streamer was copyright struck due to a song that was remixed in tribute to himself.For the time being, the streamer has to be careful and not pop up on Twitch until his alternate account remains banned, but it probably won’t take too long to go away.Social media discusses Dream’s ban on TwitchIf the streamer had deleted the VOD after the stream, he may have avoided the ban that dreamwastaken received. However, his alternate account is not a Twitch Partner, so he has no protection there from DMCA issues.Annalisa¹⁴³🍂#1 dom fan@punzmain@updatingdtqk Reason:dmca his last alt stream there was dmca music and he didnt delete it so he got banned also he doesnt have strikes Hes not protected from reports or dmca so he was banned If dream does show up on someone’s stream the person streaming will be banned for 24 hours7051@updatingdtqk Reason:dmca his last alt stream there was dmca music and he didnt delete it so he got banned also he doesnt have strikes Hes not protected from reports or dmca so he was banned If dream does show up on someone’s stream the person streaming will be banned for 24 hoursbug@lexipedia23@punzmain @updatingdtqk So many people play music all the time so why did he get banned?

For the time being, the streamer needs to keep a low profile and not show up on any other streams until the ban is lifted.
