UMG claiming soundtracks on Youtube videos

I am only curious how it all works.
I have never had this problem myself.

Then find out and go through all the hassle, you will understand quickly why people then don’t bother making videos/stream.

I streamed many hours without issue so not sure what’s up. I just assume people are making videos with the music on. Streamed last night for about 2 hours as a test, no issue.

Wow. 3 years and no fix aye! Almost seems like digital law-fare.
Shouldn’t take 3 years to figure out if something is copyright or not. Unless Wondersoft did a dodgy.
Could always stream on Rumble. Copyright claims aren’t automated over there and get reviewed by an actual human. At the very least you should be able to archive your old videos there.

First time for me that my video from a stream contains a muted part. Kinda odd. Never had it a year ago when i was streaming for some time on a regular. Not even yesterday i had any muted part. But today theres something muted. Maybe because tje game remains silent for a long time sometimes and once the music strikes, it becomes a problem :woman_facepalming: need to look into that.

it should be fine if the music’s turned off

We’ve been assured that this is resolved (again) as of last week. :tada: If you happen to get another notice, could you please inform me and share a screenshot? I’ll make sure to pass it along to them. It did take quite a while for them to get back to us, and I’m sorry about that, but fingers crossed, this should be a thing of the past!

That is awesome news. I think I’m going to look into streaming some again.

@Tiggs Could you also look into streaming through Twitch?

Sure can! I need links to videos / streams so we can get them looked into.

I know personally, I do not have any. I just know when someone streams (at times) if the Boundless soundtrack is playing Twitch will mute sections of the VODs where the soundtrack is playing.

I am unsure if anyone has a current example.

Oh sweet! I’ll be sure to unmute the music next time I stream boundless and get back to you about whether or not it worked. Would love to have boundless music playing since it adds such a great vibe to the game.

Hello,
I took a look at kongregateDOTcom and noticed that they offer browser games.
Including 2 games called Boundless Galaxy (Top Down Shooter) and Boundless Bounce.
I think that the Boundless “Named” Games from this Site has nothing to do with the Game Boundless here. This Company simply ban something or wrongly reclaim copyright.

Boundless acquired Kongregate recently. It seems to be a miscommunication somewhere.
