Valve has updated its community stream policy for broadcasting tournaments by community streamers via DotaTV with new rules.
On the official DotaTV page, Valve has provided a complete list of rules that any tournament operator can post a “reasonable and simple to execute” list of requirements for streamers. Valve also added that every member of the community has the right to broadcast if they comply with the following rules:
- The content of your Community Stream is based exclusively on DotaTV and content you have originally created or licensed.
- You fully comply with any Event Streaming Requirements that the Operator may choose to publish.
- If no Event Streaming Requirements have been published by the Operator then your Community Stream must still be non-commercial.
In addition, Valve has prepared a list of “reasonable and recommended requirements” for tournament operators:
- Requiring the producers of Community Streams to sign up through a free and public process set up by the Operator of the event.
- Keeping the Community Stream strictly non-commercial.
- Including the logos of certain tournament sponsors in the Community Stream, provided that the sponsors’ products are legal in the territory that the Community Stream is targeted at.
- Having a time delay of up to 15 minutes.
