YouTube throws Strikes for using Shadowbringers Trailer Theme Song

[MelodyCrystel]

This is rather meant to be a warning than an actual start for a discussion, but feel nevertheless free to leave comments here.

As back then with Heavensward's theme Dragonsong (remember: Nidhogg's first phase couldn't have the ingame-music), we have now the same thing happening with the song Shadowbringers; at least with the full version which the Orchestrion-roll delivers.

No matter if one uploads the music with or without ingame-footage, sooner or later YouTube will take it down and put a Strike onto the account in question.

(I had at first put a video with the song only onto my account - after it got delated, I thought that was for not providing evidence of the track came right from the game. Thus I had made afterwards a tutorial to show others how to record it, but a few hours ago YouTube took that down as well.)

So, as long as YouTube doesn't automatically prevent us from uploading videos with the track and / or SE don't change the way the copyright for the song is handled, you guys better avoid uploading the Orchestrion-version once none of the current videos can be found any longer on YouTube.

I can confirm this. Even when putting all formal Copyright stuff into the Videoinfo you get striked. Had this on two ex primals kill videos. Turn music off if you wanna record kills.

Member when YouTube didn't suck?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.

On a serious note, though, their copyright software is extremely overzealous. Be careful with everything you upload.

Its not youtube, its Square enix that has turned the auto-striking option on.
Yt wouldnt strike anyone if SE managed their yt account properly.

Are they copyright strikes or content id claims?

You can easily dispute the content id claims if your video meets SE's posted usage requirements.

If it's a strike, that means SE claimed it manually.

Japan doesn't have anything like Fair Use to my understanding, which is why Japanese Audio companies tend to be the bane of many a youtuber even if the work is transformative. A few cover artists on the platform could tell you horror stories related to the companies that own Vocaloid tracks in particular going after cover themes that use 100% original audio even though they know it won't last on appeal.

Sadly all you can really do is appeal the strike. It won't last but Youtube is so broken they let companies get away with this nonsense and then patch it up later, rather than punish the companies that aren't following their guidelines.
