And @MateriaColl does it once again I will have to stop making Undertale/DR content at this point, it's not economically viable for me to keep doing this

Is this even legal? Every time I get a Materia copyright claim it's NEVER from the original soundtrack, it's always an obscure remix version from a Materia related artist At this point I am convinced this is just a workaround at @tobyfox's blanket license @UnderTale @Fangamer

Hi Nyx, our email remains open for details, and we encourage you to reach out directly. Music rights on YouTube are complex, and @MateriaMusicPub helps resolve claims. YouTube is limited with policies and we spend hours every week revolving these things.

Game soundtracks are exempted from Content ID (support.google.com/youtube/a… ). That's part of the reason why YouTube shows cover versions as melody claims. Musical works (the separate copyrights for melody, chords, etc) exist in Content ID due to PROs, CMOs, Maria, and others.

Music rights are a complex matrix of copyright & royalties. There are 100s of music companies who send metadata to YouTube, and many of these deliveries have bad info. EACH cover song from UNDERTALE has a different set of policies, of rights, per territory, per platform.

Part of our responsibility as a music publisher and rights administrator, for some incredibly complex rights, is overriding other companies' claims and freeing valid uses (Lets Plays, etc.) It's as complex, difficult, arduous, and unrewarding as it is important.
