UMG Keeps blocking my stream
Hello Factorians, I have a rather peculiar situation where UMG keeps claiming that they have a copyrighted material during my stream, at first I have the DLC soundtrack playing in the background, so when they shut my stream down, I went on and stopped the soundtrack from playing in the background, and when I did that, they still claimed that they have copyrighted material on my stream, I'm not really sure what to do here. Do any of you guys experience the same issue? Help?

I'll reiterate this. I am using the DLC soundtrack of the game, to which I contacted the dev of the said game and said that they own 100% of the game (including the DLC soundtrack), they even said that they encourage streaming the game.

Another thing, I said that I did turn off any background music the second time, and they still claimed that it is copyrighted.

Anyways, it has been months since I posted this, and I kind of forgotten that I even posted this (sorry about that).

I think it has something to do with article 13. UMG even claimed copyrighted material on my voice at some point (not even joking, they claimed 30 seconds from my voice talking over my stream).

It is frustrating for streamers, because they can claim anything, and get away with it. If you do try and dispute it, they will take week, most of the time months to reply to you (yep, did that, took 2 weeks for a reply). What's worst is that they don't even give you a proper contact person/department on handling this issue, they literally just let you bounce from one department to another hoping that you will give up at some point.

Did I mention that this only happens on facebook? On twitch nothing is being claimed and I stream on the two platforms with the same content.
