The music copyright problems on YouTube need sorted.
If you guys can't find an overall solution to the problem, then you need to just tell us. The music is a vital part of the story experience, and even though my viewership on these videos is quite low, I'd like my subscribers to get a complete taste of the game. That way they can go out and buy it themselves if they like it. The game is fantastic and I'd like it to be as successful as possible.

Also, I find it strange that none of the larger YouTube channels seem to have a problem with this game, but many of the smaller ones, like myself, do. What sets us apart from the big guys, legally? After all, I'm a YouTube partner just like they are. Up to this point, I've had to resort to muting the matched content, which is a terrible thing to have to do.

While I'd appreciate help on my own channel, I'm wanting a more global solution.

Thank you, but what do they mean by this:

• Take no further action (if you do not monetize your videos)

If you monetize your videos, you should take further action?

It just means if you don't monetize then it won't affect anything. If you do, then go with the other options above

Hello,

We are still looking into this. A lot of music labels/companies have automated systems in place that flag up a copyright issue on any video featuring a track.

We will post an announcement once we know more. Sorry it's taking a long time, we can understand how frustrating this is.
Thanks for replying and interacting eith the communbity, I hope it can be sorted out, It's a minor concern to me seeing as I'm a smaller channel but if it works out, bonus!!

I don't really play a lets play. Thank for you taking the time to notice the error and do something about it. Its very rare these days the devs talk to the community and even do these types of things.

Glad to see the dev's in here helping with this, gives you a good feeling to know they have your back.
I've seen many of these claims lately on other stuff, because my brother is in Afghanistan I've been sharing a lot of our TV shows unlisted on Youtube for him, the claim comes up and you just click ok, never had an issue with strikes record companies, (2 seconds of music gets flagged too).
But I'm sure like the others said if you were trying to make money with ad revenue it'd get a strike.
Though Justin Beiber allowed my wife to use music on a tribute video, he even ok'd it.. :-)

Hi everyone,

Could you help me out by posting all the names of the companies that appeared in your copyright notices for Life is Strange videos on Youtube.

Many thanks

At the end of Episode 1 I got Copyright Claim from "[Merlin] BecauseMusic" and it was right when I escaped from that vision - Right after picking those newspapers and telling Chloe what's going on with me...
