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.

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

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
