Copyright Issues with In-Game Band Music?

[beartide06]

What’s up guys,

I recently got a warning from Twitch (I stream, @gamedaygaming) saying I had some copyright violations. I don’t play music on my streams. So I checked and I was flagged for in-game band menu music and in-game band music when playing against various teams. These were the 3 issues:

Copyrighted Work(s):
Snare Force One by the Blue Devils
Drum and Drummer by the Blue Devils
Holy Cowbell by the Blue Devils

Has anyone else had this issue on YouTube, Twitch, or other social platforms when playing or uploading content? I was completely thrown off because the in game sounds are part of the experience but I may have to cut out in-game sounds moving forward. Just wanted some insight from others on this. Appreciate it!

I saw Mills tweet about it yesterday that the band music owners is getting people now for copyrights on it. Sounds like its a recent thing and started after the game.

As someone with a lot of concert videos on youtube they are super strict now so basically everything gets a copyright claim now.

Yeah, I understand it I suppose. Especially on YouTube. And I knew it could happen if you play music in the background, but I didn’t expect it to happen from music from inside the game.

My guess is I’d likely have to mute the in game music?

Yea go to settings then audio and you can put menu music to 0

Appreciate it! I also read on Twitter that it’s been happening recently. A couple of the creators of the band music are going through and issuing warning and striking folks. Looks like I’ll be turning off at least the menu music!

Ive been watching this woman play thru Fallout New Vegas on youtube and she says she has to play with the ingame music off or she will be flagged. So its not just this game but any game with copyrighted music.

Yeah, like I said, I shouldn’t be too shocked but I was a little with the band music. But, if it’s copyrighted music, they have the right I suppose. I’ll likely mute menu music and try to be mindful of the in game band music as well. Appreciate the responses, guys 👍

A copyright claim doesn’t matter unless you’re making $ off your YouTube. If you aren’t then it’s nothing to worry about and isn’t going to affect you. If it’s just music then it’s almost always just a copyright claim. Live music is better then real recordings thats why reaction videos are of live music.However a copyright strike I think it’s called is a major deal this is typically for stuff like uploading a tv show. You only get a few of these until it’s banned.

I upload a lot of stuff to my YouTube that could get copyright stuff on cruises and theme parks. Here is the trick schedule your videos to go live in the future, if it gets you a copyright claim then it gives you the option to replace it. In the video game it would be very simple it would just likely mute your words as well
