Having heard some of the music lately I can see why it might have got confused :D
OMG, I have turned into my father, when did that happen O_O
How very very evil. Definitely worth a notice.
That said,
You can't blame people to protect their work in any manners .
If a sound enginner spend time and money recording a sound, and sell his work somewhere, he definitly make the choicie to sell it instead of giving a royalty free/creative common licence.
It is too easy to download anything anywhere and use it without thinking one second at the author. Copyrights are here for that. Creative common too.
Copy - Rights... clear enough though...
Sidenote: "Unlisted" is still public since anyone with the video's URL can see it.
Good to know, as I was thinking to perhaps make more Let's Play vids of this game for my YouTube channel.
Anyways, (and though I'm certainly no Lawyer, nor know all of the ins and outs of the copyrights claims on YouTube - so of course it's good to research yourself. But in a lots of cases it's YouTube overlezlous bots, and they often make mistakes, or even in some cases a false claim of some greedy company / person issuing such claims on videos to content they have no rights to, but hoping the video-creator will be "scared" enough, or unconcerning enough, that they won't dispute the claim, so in that case, the nickels-&-dimes of ads revenues of that video would go to the false claimant if left unchallenged) if you do get a copyright notice on a video, it doesn't mean it's a "strike" yet.
Usually the way it works is if you go to dispute it, and if you're unable to provide proof of permission to use or proof that you have rights to use it (such as, some game Developers will post a notice somewhere on their page, giving people permission to make videos of their game for YouTube, for example, here's a Video Policy that Valve has posted about their games: http://www.valvesoftware.com/videopolicy.html ), and the claimant has I think 30 days to reply to a dispute... after the 30 days if the claimant does not continue to claim the copyright then the notice would be removed.
But if they come back within that 30 days to claim they have the copyright and reject the dispute, and if you decide to dispute it again without showing YouTube or parties that you have rights to use the content in your video, you may then get a "Strike" on your channel, and that means your video would get removed anyways I think, and you'd be stuck with a strike.
It works something like that. Basically, normally a copyright claim on one of your videos isn't a considered "strike", but it sometimes means that if you don't dispute it (but if you do, be prepared to show that you have permission to use the content), you may still be allowed to leave up your video, but then the company or person making the copyright claim may then be able to collect any and all ad-generated revenues from that video (even if, for example, perhaps you have a 30 minute long video, and you used 5 seconds of a copyrighted music, then the company / person claiming ownership to the copyrighted music would be able to still collect ALL the ad-revenue monies from that video).
Before, I've had a few of my videos get copyright notices (but fortunately no strikes), and I did dispute, and win, almost all of them. But one I thought I had the rights to use (it's a bit complicated to explain here, but I bought a music resource-pack for use with a game I'm making, which gives me the right to use that music in my game, but when I put the game-play video of my game on my channel with that certain music playing in the background, it gave me the copyright notice).
So, to avoid the hassles and waste of time, in that case I just removed the said music of that video and re-uploaded it. Also, for some games, I tend to turn down any music (all the way to 0, or just to mute / turn-off it if the option exists, and a lot of games will have such an option anyways), and in that way there's much less chance of some copyright claim due to music playing in the background, as even though some game-Developers may give permission to make game-play / let's-play / review, etc.. videos of their games, in some cases the music they may have used in their game could be from a 3rd party and copy-righted.
If the game-developer, of a game-play / let's-play video of a game you're playing, has a Video Policy page (such as the Valve video-policy page that I mentioned as an example) that allows people to make and post videos to sites like YouTube, then you can post that in the description of your video. If your video is commentary in nature (you're talking over the game-play), you could include something like; "*All copyrighted media is property of their respective owners. Video is commentary in nature, as defined under the 'Fair Use' policy of copyright".
I think in most cases, the Developers of Indie Developed Games don't mind, and often encourage and appreciate, YouTubers making game-play / let's-play vids of their game, as they realize it can be very good exposure and publicity for their games, thus that can equal many more sales of their game for them. Of course that's not always the case, so you might have to be prepared to remove some videos too if a Developer want to make and stick with a copyright claim (even though it may end up hurting their own potential sales and/or goodwill in the Community).
Sorry, I'm rambling on, and it does all get seem a bit complicated, and some falls into grey areas. Anyways, good luck. :)
