Wait, is that actually Twitch's history - Justin.tv?

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.

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.
