Was Justin.tv doing copyright infringing things? I seem to remember it was just a guy streaming his everyday life. He would literally wear a hat with a camera on it and record everything he did all day. It makes sense that it became twitch because they solved a technical problem around mass streaming that empowers twitch today.
Wait, is that actually Twitch’s history - Justin.tv?

I remember watching Pay-tv (Premier League / Bundesliga matches) on Justin TV back in the day, when it was still obscure enough to not attract the copyright holder’s attention.

I see… I only remember the very early days of Justin.tv and kind of lost track of it between then and when it became twitch.

It is. Until recently it actually still used the domain to serve assets.

Wild. What an obscure piece of internet history to have missed out on as an old Justin.tv user.
