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)

We also have conflicting info, we have the UT/DR team directly saying to dispute copyright claims for UT/DR music yet these claims are rejected by Materia nitter.vloup.ch/UnderTale/status…

yeah, I expected the FAQ to say that, since I remember the June kerfluffle. There's a lot of stuff happening behind the scenes that explains the whole, "the claim has the name over another cover" bit, but the FAQs don't come to the same conclusion as before...

i'm just trying to figure out if the mood really is, "do not cover any pieces managed by materia on youtube anymore if you want $$$" like, they could say that in a lot fewer words...

That's clearly the end message here, they could say it bluntly to see how people react about it Seems like @StringPlayerGmr also supports this message!

... This is honestly a whole thing that really shouldn't be happening. A COVER is now trying to do the copyright thing?

Surprisingly, YouTube is the most transparent platforms about how revenue and royalties break down between parties. Copyright and rights management is essential -- even for cover artists. Here's a good thread that does a deep dive into details.

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.

The technicalities of your business conduct do not concern me, no matter who is involved in it. I want to know why you of all people are shutting down a cover artist.

The technicalities and nuances and legacy laws are unfortunately what power the music industry. It can be complex and confusing. Materia is licensing and collecting the music publishing share of this cover, as we do on hundreds of other platforms, and have done for years.
