there's a reason i don't cover much @tobyfox music anymore. even major labels have the decency to allow revenue share on cover songs, but @MateriaColl would rather shut down any and all community creativity 100%.

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

Materia has worked with YouTube and dozens of other platforms since 2015 to *proactively* facilitate community creativity, cover songs, and clearance. That means helping YouTube license and match sound recording and music publishing right for literally 100m+ videos.

what i don't understand is why materia collective cannot/does not do what other rights holders/managers do....claim the piece and then allow sharing. This is what I want on all of my covers ->

You and us both, since 2015. Content ID does not allow first uses (soundtracks) for video game music, as per their OST exception: support.google.com/youtube/a… That gets complicated when music societies share cover song metadata, which become the basis of melody matching.

Much of our work in rights administration and licensing occurs behind the scenes. UNDERTALE is a phenomenon and exception to both game and music industries, and neither has the infrastructure to support a balance the creator ecosystem and rightsholders, so we're building that.

For example, here's the rights for *one* cover song, and it's international matrix of rights holders. That's *per* sound recording group, *per* recording, per *musical work*, per *platform*.
