In fairness, streamers in Twitch hear music on stream, which is frequently unlicensed.

So wouldn't Twitch be liable for that content under this proposed copyright thing?

Fair Use is an American concept. Even so, YouTube already routinely mutes videos that contain background music.

With the proposed law, the right holders can sue Twitch for hosting that video, unless Twitch ensured they have permission from said right holders to host that video.
