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.

but y'all already have a workaround for that -- submit to content ID not as "original soundtrack" type. plus, when you manage on behalf of Toby Fox, the video game publisher is literally your client. This isn't a "work for hire" situation where a megacorp is blocking things

It's a great idea -- one of many we've deliberated with our partners, distributors, subpublishers, and administrators over the years. Ultimately, there's enough invalid/incomplete metadata out there, and we'd rather focus our efforts in resolving it, not adding to it.
