Nintendo: see, now that's where you're wrong
i was thinking this same thing, but hey, Scott the Woz got away with it. i still wonder if he made an undisclosed payment to nintendo for unlimited use but that seems unlikely. he uses the transformation techniques with his videos
This is the first time I've seen someone describe the spirit of what fair use is supposed to entail eloquently. It's understandable a company wouldn't want you reposting their music and just getting paid for that... that's obviously copywright infringement. This, on the other hand, helps the describe the many cases where DMCAs are filed, wherein the music or IP in question is not being abused in this way. I don't think that companies even file the DMCA against transformative works on purpose much of the time (as far as I'm aware, automated systems are responsible for the majority of flagging), it's a growing pain that TH-cam and Companies have tried to maintain balance on... some decidedly more successfully than others.
Thanks for the tips as always brother! Also your channel is growing so quickly, congratulations!!👍
Thank you!!
really interesting! also, why don’t video game companies just allow content creators to use their footage from their game if it’s free publicity?
Hey Scott! Thanks for watching 👊😃 Well, it's because they still want to control their product. Can you imagine if a highly disregarded person made their game music the opening to his show?
Ian Corzine Makes sense, thanks for clearing it up, another great vid!
And you should be able to use game footage from your own game since you bought it and can do whatever with it. But for some reason, game companies don’t understand that.
@@taosterproductions7210 Well, when you buy a game you kinda buy the right to play it, not "do whatever with it". Lots of (multiplayer) games punish you for things like cheating!
Imagine J. Epstein using reference clips from GTA IV to drop the list. Oops, my mouth!
So good! It's so much easier to just sign up for one of those music services! Not worth the stress! Also, IN ONE MONTH your growth has increased so much. Holy cow, dude!!!!!
Haha! Thanks so much B -- I am so grateful for you and your support 👊😃
I heard some youtuber say, that he turns off the music of the game bc it gets claimed even though the music is part of the game. So playing it's best to turn off the music in the game.
what if i just wanna have that music in the background
Same!
This is the question I want answered. I see some channels that use short bits of copyrighted game music on non-game videos and they don’t seem to get in trouble. I want the lowdown on that.
me too
Me too
SAME DUDE MY1st 3 vids i put songs no copyright but now it is
Another great video Ian!!! Always superb information💪🏽
HEY TT! Thanks so much!
Hey Ian, love the video its super informative!
Side note: you've probably already answered this but whats the name of the background music?
I like YOUR background music in this video. Great tips for those who play video games with music!
Thank you for watching!! It is my goal to be informative & entertaining!! 😀
@@iancorzine LMFAO
Love the content. Question when using older video games as a playthrough is that also under copyright if I record me playing and voice over the text boxes?
I enjoy listening to your videos u make them so understandable even though I have don't do any of this stuff, u make them fun, thank you again 👏 👏 🐈
Thanks Shaka -- last week was VIDEO GAME week. This week will be something different!
Thanks a lot for the breakdown though I have a question; Is it ok to extract a game's licensed music (not created by the developers, but normally allowed to be streamed in gameplay videos) and then place it over another portion of a video featuring that game? For example, what if I extracted the licensed menu music and placed the audio over gameplay? Seems there's a bit of a grey area nobody knows about when it comes to licensed music that is not owned by the devs and what we can do with it.
First
You WERE! Thanks for being there bro 👊😃
Another great episode Ian. Always informative and easy to understand.
😊
Fantastic. It's most helpful, everything get's brighter. Thank you so much for all advices.
Great video! thanks for making this!
Excellent piece of infos you got there Ian. Perfect Job on that one !
Thanks Dave! Thank you so much for your contribution -- it was the BOMB!
Great video Ian. Thank you for the tips. Very informative as always.
Thank you, thank you!! 😀😀
Love it!!! Great music in this vid..I’m rockin
haha! Thanks so much Maddo!
Subscribed! I've been waiting for a channel like you. Creative law gets confusing sometimes and you explain things very well, Ian.
Great as always!
Hey BigCiga! So appreciate your time watching 👊😀
Thanks man, great Video and always great info!
What up K! Thanks so much for tuning in 👊😃
Very informative, Ian. I was wondering in regards to say using music from an old snes video game from a dissolved company like LJN?
Do you know if it is legally possible to use video and audio from multiple things of a franchise for a tribute video while putting in your own narration (not really the same way as normal streaming commentary) between the voice acting and the music? Does that fall under the same transformative category?
Awesome video and a nice breakdown of a sensitive topic. Commenting, critiquing, talking over when background music appears (Example: Factorio) is a method I automatically use without actually realizing it. Great tips overall, thank you!
And you've never gotten a copyright strike? I wanted to use some background music from an anime in my videos while talking over it too but didn't know how to go about it.
Great! I am constantly learning reading studying researching this endless area. Despite being a label with copyright holdings of master recordings I still get META / Instagram blocking me or emailing me with Copyright Violation. And so I must become aware of it all, in order to ensure everything I post or make public conforms to all the appropriate laws out there and to ensure my artists music as well as my own is protected. Thank you.
What about background music playlist heard over the gameplay and it comes from TH-cam as it is?
Another great one :)
Thank you as always bro!!
Good to know that you CAN use it, just have to be smart and do your research first and apply these things. Thank you for this information, very helpful!
thanks for the info!
great vid breh!
Great info as always!
😁
Hi, thanks for the tips, one doubt, if I make a restoration video, and I use maybe 10-sec footage from the game I fixed, can be considered fair use? thanks.
@Ian Corzine I am hoping you could help me. I actually have a different channel which is where I do my let's plays, and for some reason on my most recent series I keep getting audio copyright claims. HOWEVER, the claims aren't from the team that made the game. Instead they're from totally different third parties and the BGM does sound similar. They didn't claim the entire video, but they did claim specific sections, PRIMARILY parts where I was lost in thought and not super talkative; for example one section they claimed was during a boss fight. What are your suggestions on this?
hello, great video! i just have a question. i just got copyright claim on my 2 video from the same person. one of them a music from my gameplay. the other one a music that i have my voiceover. i don't think the person that claim my videos are the owner of the music. but i don't know what i have to do to my videos
thanks for the great info👍
Say for an example if I upload a midi remix of a song from a piece of music from a video game sound track will that give me a copyright strike?
Where's the video mentioned at the end? The card link just opens up a membership commercial. I tried searching the channel and came across a bunch, but the titles are vague so they could also just be rehashes of this one. Did youtube 'update' their policies and invalidate the video?
Great video! I had a question I was hoping you could answer:
What if I create a cover of someone's song and instead of posting it in a video, I used it in my own video game, and sold that game to other people? Would that be copyright infringement?
Thanks.
Hello Ian I was wondering if its ok to use game music in the background if im doing an unboxing of the game.
Thank you👍
I’m second! But this is not a race 😄. Thank God I’m not a gamer with all these laws and copyright issues, law 13 etc..., Ian, killer tittles, effects and editing, but what I loved the most was the lighting!!!!!!! Love the dark background 👍👍👍
Thanks Ruben -- You're so talented with videography that means a lot to me. It's that old Aperture 300d. The best light in the business!
Ian Corzine hahaha, Thanks Ian, it means a lot coming from you. If I were talented my videos would looked like yours 😄, but with time a lots of learning and effort and good gear......, I might get closer 😄. Take care and keep rocking 👍🙏💙
Fun fact: an Indonesian tv program "Jejak Petualang" uses Chrono Cross musics oftenly. And the same TV channel (Trans 7) used JRPG musics from PS1 PS2 and SNES to Wii in Cita-Citaku (wasn't aired anymore around 2014 ago), mostly Nintendo in Laptop si Unyil 2007-2013/2014, and some PS1 games and some Nintendo games in Buku Harian si Unyil (2007 - around 2012 or below, weekend edition of Laptop si Unyil with the name seemingly inspired from Wimpy Kid). Search by yourself and you'll be amazed
what if the game you're playing has no options to turn off music and keep in sound effects?
I just got copyright claim from my gameplay, the music is in-game, and I'm not adding any music to my gameplay, it's just what it is. Oh, and the video isn't published yet, it's still in schedule
SAME
got the same issue
Hi, do you have information on how to deal with games with video clips embedded into the game, eg if I play a Lego game as a let's play, I'm talking and reacting to the chat, the music is low, everything is fine, then you get to points in the game and it jumps to clips that was in the film's? But it's also part of the game? You get hit with the copyright right ID claim multiple times in one video? How do you deal with it? You have a personal paid copy of the game on disc and digital download, you put in as much information as you can, like how made the game, the companies, the sounds and clips etc but still hit with ID claim? Do you just cut your loss and walk way or do you fight it under some legal knowledge, as reached out to the companies for advice but get told it's not their department or they can't help to the best one don't make a video on it?
Thanks for any reasonable replies that I may get
I've just made my first Code Vein gmv today, but I'm scared of posting it on youtube out of fear of getting a copyright strikes. The song is called The Last Song by Emi Evans from Drakengard 3. I downloaded the song from TH-cam using mpgun. What should I do?
Cool video!
Hey Alexandros! Thanks for watching 👊😃
So I’m playing a game and I’m not adding music nothing there is just background music already playing in game. And I’m getting copyright from the music already in the game itself. Is it ok to leave it alone. Please answer
The video that popped up at the end was something to do with BItcoin FYI.
I'm just curious about rhythm based music games (Rock Band, Guitar Hero, Beat Saber and Ragnarock VR) and if they somehow fall under Fair Use or a different sort of agreement? I enjoy making Ragnarock content but unfortunately I keep getting a copyright warning (saying I cant monotize the video, which makes sense) and I fear it will turn into a strike eventually. Any suggestions or tips? I am not worried about monetizing, just want to make sure I am safe making this content.
By any chance, if I were to take a song and add sound effects to it, but you could still tell where the song had come from
Would this be considered a remix, and by that standard, could be used under free use?
Thanks so much, I did some reactions and I didn’t get copyright strikes or anything, but I’m really concerned is do gameplays, I want to do my reaction by playing the game. And live streaming on twitch, I been thinking, if I turn down the music and talk more, that will be good for me not getting a copyright strike?
Great!!
Thanks DW! Thanks for watching 👊😃
Can I use video game music in the background of a e commerce website? Like using a mario song with a mario product?
Hi i need help what if its a rythem game a game only about music
If I want to use e1m1 from doom eternal as an intro would that be allowed?
Maybe Im late here, but what if I want to use a 1980 nes game music played with my piano? Could I include that on my own game?
I'm trying to find the live streaming policy for some games i want to use music from, but cant seem to find any. what should i do?
Sound effects?

It's rare for in-game sound effects to be blocked in your video, but it can happen. I had one video, The Last of Us, flag a scene where a specific sound effect began to play. I had no choice to remove that small and brief segment. It wasn't really a big deal, but it can alter your video a lot or a little. I'm just sharing my personal experience. I hope this helps.
thanks
Love this. Definitely sharing this with my fiancé!
Hey Angie! Thanks so much for watching 👊😀And also tell your fiance I said Hi!
When editing a video, it's ok to add video game music, even older ones, to your videos? I've seen a lot of Gmod videos and they used them as well, nothing happened. I guess as long as you credit the music, everything's fine, or you need a license to add it in your video editor?
Thank you for providing this information, it is hard for a layman to really find out what to do. My channel is TINY, just started, so I get those claims en-masse. Problem is that fallout 4 has a radio in the game, with various real world songs playing, so I get claims for each song you can hear in the background.
Hey nobody seems to have an answer for this: how do some channels post entire retro video game soundtracks without getting dinged?
Am I allowed to use NES games music and/or sound bites for an opening in all my TH-cam videos? And then use NES loops as background while I talk?
Hi, I have this problem actually, can I put details and all the information about the music in the video description, will be that enough? Thank you
Can this be applied to songs as well? I sampled video game music and make it into beats and if I monetize my beats will my channel get a strike?
I'm just curious if, the fair use policy goes with music already in the game and I streamed video to twitch with no problems then export it to youtube and now, it is now a issue. This was never the case when I uploaded a game play video directly to TH-cam itself. Do I have valid reason of years of playing the same game no copyright claims then it changes in just a few months ago. Can anyone answer it? 🤔
How long can afair use clip be?
I played Assassin’s Creed IV Black flag, and the ship boarding music played.
Within 58 minutes of posting the video, it was copy claimed.
I just deleted because it wouldn’t let me edit out the music.
Ha! next time mute the sound. I have met so many TH-camrs like you who unintentionally have background music in their videos -- actually, it is totally legal and does not violate copyright law BUT YT's Content ID picks it up and puts a claim on it.
Ian Corzine Thank you, I did.
I made my first game but it has no sound so I just wanna know if I can download sound files on the internet and use them in my game without getting a copyright strike or anything. Plus I am not putting any ads or price on my game so I am making no money at all.
Not sure if you still check this but i wondered what the policy is for using music in an android developed game i make?
How do content creators even get MP3 files of the game music? I can’t figure it out
alright, my idea’s kirby music in the background of my really short video. does it count if i say “man i love this music” at the end?
maybe i should just settle for some other music.
So, I uploaded a gameplay video and got copyrighted for the game's menu OST. How to proceed?
Does his work for any type of game company? Like Nintendo?
I don't know if you'll see this but I have a question. I plan on doing a gameplay of a new game called No Straight Roads and it's just full of Music and that's the whole purpose is the music. How do I not get copyright strike but still enjoy the music?
HEY I HAVE A QUESTION , I TOTALY UNDERSTOOD THAT WE CANNOT USE GAMEPLAY MUSIC OR CUTSCENE, CAUSE THAT CAN LEAD TO COPYRIGHT, BUT CAN WE USE INGAME SOUNDS WHOLE RECORDING GAMEPLAY , FOR EXAMPLE - FIRE SOUND OR AND INGAME CHARACTERS DIALOGUE IS IT OKAY ??
Hi Ian, this doesn't really have anything to do with TH-cam, but we're making a short film for our Abitur (finals in German schools). I would love to use video game music (f.e. God of War). Do you know if it's possible to purchase rights to songs for one occasion? We'd probably be looking to sell the DVD to our classmates by the way.
Iana, but Designer: Wenn es sich um ein Schulprojekt handelt und kein kommerzieller Vertrieb stattfindet, sollte es klar gehen. Veröffentlichung im Internet sind wiederum ein anderer Schnack. Da kann es auch durch Monetarisierung und Vervielfältigung zu Problemen kommen (Einnahmen durch Werbung, Verletzung des Copyrights).
Tldr: bleibt es in der Schule kräht i.d.R. kein Hahn danach
willst du persönlich Gewinn daraus schlagen - nicht ok
So am I able to use the Resident Evil save room music as a background track with commentary over it? Ive seen other youtube use it and I wanted to use it because I love the theme a lot
Yeah, you can use it no problem as long as you're adding your own spin on it while crediting the original source. Think of it like when you're writing an essay and you need to cite a source. The same works here. You are citing the source of the music and this allows people to find it too.
bro how to do nes games on youtube without copyright pls tell or make a video for it
So for commentary, all I have to do I play the music in the background, play the game and commentate, and I won’t get copyrighted
Thank you for the tips. Very informative video about video Fair Use.
Always my pleasure!! 😃😃😃
Awesome video bro! I am trying to learn how to make cool videos like this. Woudl luv any suggestions you have 👍👍👍
Hey Josh! Thank you so much for the kind words.I really appreciated.Just keep on watching TH-cam videos and learning.
Im trying to sample earthbound music for music production but like nothinh comes for that game and i really need help with this can anyone help me
What if i want to make a collection of video game music? Will it be allowed?
I used the music from Rogue Company not for a let's play but a review... Only reason I did that was to have the viewer know what music is in the game as it makes a part of the experience and then it got claimed. This annoys me
Noted but what about people trying to use video game music for animations, is there a way around that, it's ok if you don't want too answer, it's just out of curiosity.
VERY nice; absolutely gorgeous! Nicolas is so sweet!💜💜💜💜💜💜
Those websites you suggested are very good however they are very expensive. On epidemic right now you can purchase their service for $9 a month however it's billed at $108 per year. I'm just starting off with my TH-cam channel I don't have that kind of money.
What if you are using obscure game tracks from the Genesis era as an intro or during breaks?
That's my question! Will I get in trouble if I use the music from Burnout Legends DS or The Golden Compass on PS2
first, I said there is a question but will he answer me?
then I saw all comments were responded by
Ian Corzine.
first, I wanted to thanks and second, I want to use a game song like an in-game song for an AMV (anime music video)
can I do that?
What i want answered is how do certain big content creators download music say for example from Nintendo and use it in there “funny moments/epic moments/compilation” of say a game like fortnite/call of duty/Gmod/etc...
same
I posted 2 videos that got copyrighted, because of the music they already use. In the game. It's the games OST being copyrighted when it is in use, in the game
Help! i play osu! which is a rhythm game, and when i posted my osu gameplay on yt , youtube punished me with a copyright strike, the song is a part of the game so i dont wanna remove it, what should i do?
I have a question, what if you cover the music into instrumental, and rearranging it a little, adding something, etc. Then use it for your youtube video intro, is it legal? And can still monetize? Thank you in advance!
it is fair use because you played it not them
you dont even need to rearrange it. a cover is enough.
Can I just go to the options menu and the game turn off game music, and add my own background music in?
If you make your own jams, yes you may do that. Now if you use samples, loops, sound files, effects, etc, and they are stock and not altered in any way, you might get hit with a claim.
Can I put do the Mario or no?
TH-cam lawyer.. Cool!
