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.

So: If YouTube claimed something it shouldn't, dispute it, email info@materiamusicpub.com.
And, email your MCN and distributor and YouTube rep and push for sync/revenue share deals with content id and other fingerprinting DSPs and audio platforms.

And, if you're going to put us on blast, at least first read our YouTube FAQ. Our team works hard on making music industry complexities more accessible. It's dense knowledge, dumb policies, antiquated laws, and more. Let's solve it together. materiamusicpub.com/youtube-…

I put you on blast because the 3 times I have done this you end rejecting the dispute. Who should be I believing here? tobyfox/Undertale team or Materia?
Notice: If you've ever uploaded a YouTube video containing UNDERTALE/DELTARUNE music (especially gameplay videos) and receive a copyright notice, ALWAYS dispute it and it should be resolved in your favor. We apologize for the inconvenience.

This is wild. Sounds like the "rules" need a great deal of simplifying and song owners need more control and access over things. This mess doesn't seem manageable for anyone.

You're absolutely right! Music copyright is a mess, and change is slow, especially in gameaudio. Our team has have helped advise game and music industries for the past decade. We're hopeful that other parties start caring -- and managing -- copyrights more proactively.

So stop rejecting the dispute? Just saying it's "messy" when you're actively contributing to the mess doesn't solve anything.
And being passive aggressive toward the artists you're screwing over doesn't help either. Just lift the claim and it's done.

Content creators who have already gotten the green light from the original copyright holder (Toby Fox) shouldn't have to bend over backwards and contact like 14 different organizations just to get protection they were already promised. This is YOUR problem, not theirs.

It sounds like YOU guys need to work with Toby Fox to fix this "mess" or Toby should go with a different company, because you're literally doing the opposite of what he said he wanted to do with his music.

Nothing in music rights is that simple. We wish it was. And yes, managing dozens of music partners on platforms like YouTube remains one of our obligations for all of our clients, which we continue to fulfill.
