Do not post Party Animal contents on YouTube - copyright problem

[NyanCat_TW]

I got three copyright claims for my Party Animal stream.
(for now. It is still processing)

https://youtube.com/live/sk9jNo3NBqI?feature=share

1. Can't Stop the Boogaloo (a) - Ray Lopez
2. Hip Street Boogaloo (a) - Ray Lopez
3. All The People (1048361) - Christopher James Morris (PRS)|Stewart Jeffrey Barnes (PRS)

Did the developers just use any stock music and call it a day?
Never have I played a video game and got claimed because of the music in it,
so I looked into it:

It is over ten days and way passed the beta stage now.
The developers knew they had a copyright problem that could affect everyone on media platforms, and still decided to launch the game worldwide.

Please tell us when you are going to fix this,
and should I keep making videos about your game as a content creator?

Thank you.

Yeah sampe here, just turn off the music until Dev team fix it

A lot of games use music that is not allowed to be reused on other sites like youtube as they only have the rights to use it in their game and not for others to reuse on their end.

It falls on you to make sure you can reuse content like this.

Fair points.

Although the developer did say "This should not be happening and is not intended", I have never thought it would be non-content-friendly like this.

Let's hope my mistake can be other content creators' lessons from the past.

I played it safe and turned off the music completely, seems to have worked. Kinda figured though the music might not have been safe.

fix it.

Hey,

If you receive a copyright claim for your YouTube videos featuring Party Animals gameplay, the current recommended solution is to include the keywords “Party Animals” (regardless of upper or lower case) in the title, as it prevents your videos from being flagged by the music copyright auto-flagging system.

Hope it helps.

My live stream has PARTY ANIMALS in the title, and I still got copyright flags.

Thanks for reaching out and sorry for the inconvenience.
We will make sure your video clip is off the autoflag system as soon as possible.
I will get back to you when it's ok.

Thank you for your patience.

I got 3 copyright notices but they aren't claims btw so you should be fine unless you are monetized it might interfere with that but so far it has no impacts

Hi, has this been rectified (realising its been 2 months since this solution was brought forward)? I have Party Animals up on my youtube title and still got flagged for same songs as above just now. https://youtu.be/OoHJV3lf85U

2024 now. The problem is still not fixed. The streamer I watch is still having issue on uploading PA contents on YT, and he is deciding to not upload any PA videos anymore.

Disclaimer: I'm not a content creator, but the streamer has been uploading his vods of playing different games to YT for years. I trust his professionalism.

His quote: "Every time you upload a Party Animals vod on Youtube, you get hit like 4 different copyright claims and get demonetized from it, then any ad revenue goes to somebody else, because PA doesn't have their music cleared on YT... You are promoting people not to upload stuff on YT about your game... 99% the games out there don't have this issue."

I hope the devs would spend more time on this issue because this is really dumb.

The devs like banning people for all sorts of reasons. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME
