Jumping on the back of this:
I got copyright claimed for my co-stream of the Bungie Witch Queen Reveal event.
Is there any chance that Bungie can use non-copyrighted music OR confirm before usage that streamers can re-stream without being struck with a copyright claim.
Even though I'm non-monetised I have had to mute big chunks of the reveal reaction due to the music in use as the copyright holder denied my fair-use claim that it was part of a reaction video because during the 30 seconds that their music was used for, I didnt say anything....

Edited by ARandom_Shadow: 9/30/2021 9:10:49 PMThe issue still becomes the copyright and licenses. I have music from producers that I own a license for and still get dmca/copyright notices for that audio. Sadly I don't think its something bungie can do unless they make 100% of the music themselves and choose to never uphold the copyright so it won't get claimed. But that doesn't seem feasible because of the archaic music industry. Other companies make false copyright claims for others music all the time because the burden of proof lies with the one getting the dmca strike and there is no penalty for filing false/incorrect copyright/dmca claims.

Surely though Bungie have had to obtain copyright permission to use the music as part of their game/reveals/ads/other content As part of obtaining that permission could they not also obtain permission for restreaming of that audio when it is playing only as a stream of the Bungie content it was authorised for. Meaning that as part of disputes the D2 content creators can just dispute it as fair-use: part of authorised Bungie usage.

They could obtain a license for others with the one they get but the license wouldn't cover everything. Thats the issue with the music industry. Even if they allowed you to stream it with a license at best only 1 live stream per person would MAYBE not get hit but future uploads to YouTube would. Even then your still liable for other false claims through other producers filing dmca notices even if you have a license. The burden of proof lies with the person getting a dmca strike. There are music companies whose sole job is fake claims to get any revenue.
