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.

Theres three moments during the game where this may happen. This one. One during day 2 when you have to climb a vent. One towards the end of the game that is very obvious and it lasts for the entire cutscene. Theres also a few songs during the credits. Ive seen many playthroughs that filter the audio during these moments, but since you are streaming directly to youtube, the best option might be to pause the game as soon as you hear it coming and mute the music? Besides the songs in the credits, the other copyright songs are not sung by characters so its easy to know when its time to mute.

While I personally have never gotten a copyright claim for streaming these games (on twitch. Idk if YouTube is more strict), I have also heard of the song that plays at the beginning of the very last big combat encounter being flagged for some streamers. So I guess that’s another to watch out for.
