Twitch put together a rather unique live-stream event earlier today to raise awareness of an impending change to European copyright law. This change, which could leave Twitch liable for its users' content, is quite the serious issue for a platform like Twitch. That's why the streaming giant brought in both Tiemo Wölken and Julia Reda, representatives of Germany's Social Democratic Party, and Pirate Party respectively, to discuss Article 13. How did the team make sure their discussion of a serious issue still stayed entertaining? They played some Mario Kart 8 Deluxe to move the conversation along! You can see the entire live-stream event above.
