What if I want to post a gameplay video on Youtube?
The official soundtrack is a mix (and remix) of a few old and tons of brand new songs for the game. Unfortunately there's nothing we can do about how YouTube and these companies handle copyright nor how their algorithms flag content. We've been in talks with them about this for quite a while now and they simply won't bend the rules. Like Ubisoft, Square Enix and many others we recommend content creators disable music for all game recordings just to be on the safe side.

YouTube = the Moralintern
ZA/UM = the RCM
Steam = the Union
Streamers = ?

Well, personally I enjoy Let's Plays on Youtube, especially of games I have played myself - seeing people doing things differently, other approaches etc. And as music is an important part of this game's atmosphere, it's a bit sad if people will seemingly be able to stream it only with the music turned off. Hopefully at least the "church ravers" song is original to the game and doesn't need to be turned off as well, because without hearing it, the whole large side quest loses meaning...

I'm one of these youtubers who's just been hit with a copyright claim on this game. It's not a big issue for me as I have just started out and I'm not yet monetized. I haven't been asked to remove it, I just won't get any money from that episode. My own fault really, I should have checked the menu as there is a streamer mode which replaces copyrighted music in the game. No problem, future episodes will have that enabled.

It's still a great game and I'm really enjoying playing it.

On a side note I'm a composer and I can see why the copyright system is there however I intend to set up my tracks to be available to youtubers for free, as long as I get a mention of course :-) It'll make good exposure.

In this game's case the music was composed by an established band, British Sea Power, including versions of tracks from previous albums. So it's probably not the company or the band making copyright claims, but the label. Which... eh. It's exposure for them too, isn't it? But whatever.

So it seems the streaming mode doesn't stop all copyrighted music in this game. Fortunately It was the same track by BSP that I recognised and I ended up turning off all music in the game.

This has annoyed me somewhat. There are plenty of capable composers out there that are more than willing and able to compose for games. Just look at Subnautica which has an amazing soundtrack written for the game, no copyright issue there.

If game companies insist on using copyrighted music within games they there should be a disclaimer as you start the game stating so.

Or is this a ploy by the labels to get their music snuck into game soundtracks so they can steal the earnings of unsuspecting streamers and influencers?

This is an odd case out. It's not the same as existing tracks being used in the background of like an in-game club or something -- BSP rearranged and rerecorded the tracks used here as well as creating new ones, so they are actually doing the full job of a composer, start to finish. The game was written around BSP's tracks and vice-versa, including the lyrics being worked into the text in places and existing songs being rewritten up to suit different moods.

In general, though, I agree -- a lot of licensed tracks end up being used briefly and are so far in the background that you could probably give a composer some work and not have to worry about the license expiring 10 years down the line.

At least a lot of games are giving streamer-friendly options now. The devs here were very up-front about the issues with Youtube's auto-flagging (maybe that post needs to be stickied or something), and they tried to get it resolved. Youtube said no, but If something is still tripping the flag with streamer-friendly mode on, maybe bring that up and see if it can be resolved.

What does Youtube have to do with if a game is good or not? Why would it have any bearing on my decision to purchase a game? Guess you have to be told by Youtubers what to like and what to think.

Is even this real?

The dev said this:
"The official soundtrack is a mix (and remix) of a few old and tons of brand new songs for the game. Unfortunately there's nothing we can do about how YouTube and these companies handle copyright nor how their algorithms flag content. We've been in talks with them about this for quite a while now and they simply won't bend the rules.

So how is OP even telling the truth about the dev?

YouTubers don't matter. Just a bunch of people who think they are "Influencers". They ain't, Astronauts, Doctors, EMTs, Nurses, etc are influencers, not fuccboi Jake Paul or whatever lol.

Copy right has gone nuts, a dude posted a video of the moon on Facebook no audio from his own camera and Universal blocked it for copy right infringement,the fecking moon is now apparently owned by Universal UMG they eventually unblocked it along with many others.
