It's not quite a preview, but back in the 90's there was something called sym-lock.el that would render TeX escape sequences as the corresponding symbol. I have no idea if it still works, but Google points me here:
That might have some use cases. I may not be the target audience, but I could see it. What I was trying to say is "a mouse button that opens up a hardcoded window!!!!" was all the hype in 1998, all it takes now is to retitle the window, and all is brand new. Three decades of PROGRESS :D
AFAIK (at least here in Spain), it's the venue that is responsible for paying this license fee, not the DJ themselves. Unless you organize your own events/play at your own venue, obviously.
Same thing in France (SACEM). The venue pays the fees, and it is dependent on the scale of the event, the entrance fees, etc... The DJ doesn't have to pay anything, he just plays the music the venue has paid for the right to play.
And it is essentially the same thing with Twitch here, as Twitch pays the necessary fees that allow the DJ to perform on their platform.
It may be different in some other countries indeed. I think in Germany, home of the infamous GEMA, DJs have to pay a fee in certain conditions, in addition to what the venue pays.
I'm not super clear on the situation, but I have a brother that DJs at a local venue. Their biggest complaint was that even though they had obtained their broadcast license they couldn't livestream their sets on Twitch. Not sure if this offering now resolves that issue, or how other platforms are handling those situations. Seems like it would make more sense for the platforms to require proof of the performers licensing rather than handling the licensing themselves.
Was this recently? Right now it either thinks you're asking for the password if you even mention a cypher, and responds it can only speak English if you directly write in cypher.
