Buying the soundtracks and copyright question ?

[Mentally eel]

I dont quite get it .. If I buy a soundtrack for a game, does it mean i can use it in youtube videos and etc without getting a copyrightstrike and if yes, how does that work ? If not, im asking myself what i would use it for ? Is it just to support the devs or the artist ?

Sorry if its a stupid question, I have just always wondered how that works

What? No. Why in the world would it mean that?

To listen to? And in the highest (lossless) quality straight from the source. Also, the tracks are remastered versions made for stand-alone listening; it's not just a lazy rip of the in-game audio. (Or at least that's what the description seems to say. I don't know; I haven't bought it.) And, as you said, to support the developers and artists.

Why you think im asking dude, because i know ?
Maybe if you owned the music, it could mean you also has the rights to use it - but i dont know and thats why i ask, but if you want to answer my question with a question then fine

I didn't answer your question with a question; I answered it with a "no." It's just like anything else. If you buy a book, comic, movie, game, etc., do you have the right to copy and distribute it freely? Of course not. Why would music be any different? To use someone's copyrighted music in your work, you would usually need to get their permission and pay a "sync licensing fee."

Research copyright law if you want to know more.

Kind of crazy that we're at this point now where streaming services have been a thing for long enough that there's people now that have never bought music.

You're just buying a folder of mp3 or flac files, not the rights. What it's for? to listen to.

I don't want to sound condescending but i don't know how much you don't know. There was a time when Spotify, Amazon Music etc didn't exist. The only way to listen to music was by buying a CD much like this.

and im form does times where you bought a CD, and this might suprise you but thats still how i listen to my music, and i still buy CD's :-) I never owned a spotify account, never had amazon music, or anything else similar. This was a simple question because i did not know how it worked, is it that bad not to know that ? Im old you se.

Glad to see it, to be honest.

Think of it as if you bought the soundtrack on a CD. Just it's digital. You ever rip your CDs? It's just that really.

What're you saying? Did i rip CD's? Yeah in the early 00's i did, then digital downloads like this soundtrack came along and you don't really need to anymore. I just don't know what you're trying to say now.

You can be as old as you want, you had 20 years of digital downloads being the norm to figure it out. Don't kick off because i was trying to get to the root of your misunderstanding by breaking it down in ways you might understand. Have a polite conversation for once.

You dont have to get to any root of my misunderstanding, that is not what this topic is about, i got my answer, and im not here to answer your questions further, if you could not understand what i was saying it is simple not my problem, i will not cut it out into digestible sizes for you any further and you can think about it what you want, i do simple not care

You mean why buy the music on cd's if it means it wont give me the right to use it and therefore not getting copystriked if using it ? Because i collect music, and CD's - and i tried to seek understanding about how it works when you buy a soundtrack over steam digitaly, maybe it was different, is it that bad to ask that questions ? You Okay ?
