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

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.

so, wait, are y'all saying you cannot do revenue sharing on cover songs here categorically? (your licensing page that you redirect to also says you only do mechanical licenses for covers)

Great question! Materia Music Publishing (@MateriaMusicPub) collects the sync/performance royalties on YouTube. For cover song artists who want to collect their *sound recording* revenue on YouTube and other DSPs, we suggest Soundrop, Distrokid, Screenwave, or a similar MCN.

Soundrop cannot do a synch license for YouTube covers as part of mechanical distribution, can it? Isn't that one of the problems? - that some musicians started incorrectly registering covers in the system that they didn't have rights for?

We remember an era where YouTube removed content due to unavailable rights, licenses; or at instruction of music publishers and labels.
Many rights holders still take this approach. One of our goals is to prevent that, and protect both the creator ecosystem and rightsholders.
