I don't approve of extorting all of Twitch for one companies corporate copyrights including blocking Twitch
across an entire country. This is a scorched earth corporate authoritarian/oligopoly approach.
Not a fan of these types of blanket Moltov cocktail extortions that affect 99% of all people using the service normally.
Also, it strangely targets a property of a large American company that they do not like in Amazon. This is opening up for more of this only. Probably the beginning of fully blocking streaming on foreign sites as there is lots of money in it now. Basically the China market control approach that helps again with the authoritarianism.
There is copyright / pirating all over the internet in every country. Would you approve of shutting it all down because someone is leeching?
Ultimately people that watch streams / pirate means that the original product is either badly priced, inaccessible or the user can't afford it anyways. Most people that can afford these things will pay eventually. There have been studies on piracy being mostly people that would never pay at that time. Further, in the end pirates turn into people that buy more content [1]. Easily accessible products that are easier than piracy use the market to reduce it. [2] Tuning products to stop a small percentage of users will lead us to tyranny of markets and horrible product experiences for paying customers which will then either pirate [3] or tune out.
