I think many cases of what you hear on Twitch falls squarely under fair use.

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.
