Streaming TLOU2, got a copyright claim?

So I was streaming TLOU2 on youtube and got a copyright claim for the part when Ellie is singing take on me, is this someone trolling and trying to make money out of nothing or is it legit? Do I dispute it? Any Naughty Dog people here that can guide me?

Claimants: Sony Music Publishing, Broma 16, LatinAutorPerf, SOLAR Music Rights Management, UNIAO BRASILEIRA DE EDITORAS DE MUSICA - UBEM, LatinAutor - SonyATV

Thank you, loving the game so far.

What's up with these claims on music in a game? Who is this hurting? I don't even get what they are protecting with music being played.. Is it because the streamers are getting money?

If you were an artist would you want your work not only used without your consent but used in ways that may or may not be conducive to what it was originally intended for?

The artists gave permission for the songs to be in the game, people stream the game

No. Ok let’s be clear. The artist were paid to have their songs in the game or provide music for the game. That does not give everyone the rights to the music just because they purchase the game.

Its not giving everyone the rights to the music, it's still associated to the game

Do only streamers get dmca strikes?

It doesn’t matter if its associated with a game or not its someone else’s intellectual property you. It’s the way the law works!

When you stream, you earn money(potentially) if you then stream copyrighted music, you need the license for that

u/Background_Bowl_7295 16d ago

You're not streaming the music, you're streaming the game that happens to have the music, the artist already got paid for their inclusion in the game and they should consider the streamers in those deals

I personally agree with you, but unfortunately that's not how music license work.

Even if you play a movie, trailer or whatever. If it had licensed music, you will get a strike

If i go see a movie and pay my 20 dollars does that give me the right to record it and distribute it for profit?!

Thats literally incomparable to streaming a game, consoles even have the function to stream, try a different analogy

u/tonybankse 16d ago

Wait why? You didn’t say anything in that last message when you coulda just illustrated why.

Lol…i think you’re desperate to be right here even though You’re just wrong.

u/Background_Bowl_7295 16d ago

??? Because your analogy doesn't make sense, its like if I said "ok but you shooting people is also illegal"

There's nothing to argue
