In this episode, attorney and digital entertainment enthusiast Hannah Baker tears down Twitch’s Affiliate Agreement, which thousands of digital content makers sign in order to stream on the platform. Listen as she explains what this contract of adhesion—along with some interesting case history—can tell us about drafting for high-earning content partnership deals.
