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.

You are literally the one claiming the videos though, in this situation. Explain to us, right now, in simple terms, WHY you aren't releasing the claims you have been directed by TOBY HIMSELF, to release when disputed.

Will you release the claims? Yes or no? It's that simple. If no, then WHY. None of this damage control jargon. You make the claims. Make it make sense.

We don't issue claims. Claims come from YouTube via international music societies. Based on laws in those territories, they are entitled to collect certain royalties. We help creators by overriding those claims and policies, so that monetization can continue for most uses.

For cover songs, we license those rights to creators on YouTube -- and dozens of other platforms. That means, rather than creators risking takedowns/infringements, the uploads and covers are legal, licensed, protected; and the creators get paid. We think that's important.
