Anyone that goes out of their way to harass or be toxic to the people mentioned in this video are not respected and not welcome in this community. The only w...
mean you you could have just
said email I don’t I’ve never heard
anyone say ping either way when I
emailed the address I sent them over the
claim information and they were super
friendly about it before they took a
look at the claim they asked me to
review their YouTube FAQ and then send
them a link to the video that had the
claim on it so that’s what I did I
looked through the FAQ and the only only
thing I could find that my video didn’t
follow the rules of was that I needed to
credit Toby Fox and material music in
the description to be fair I’ve never
heard of this rule existing before but
hey it was simply them asking to give
credit to the people that own the music
so I can’t be too upset about it credit
is nice I also sent them the link to the
video too which they requested now it’s
very important to note here that I sent
them the first video I uploaded not the
second video I uploaded it’s also
important to note that I disputed the
claims on both videos please keep this
in mind as I continue this wonderful
story I was certain that the claim was
going to be completely resolved at this
point because they were being super kind
to me over email and Jay had reassure me
that when I emailed them the claim would
probably 100% be removed and then they
emailed me
back damn it do you want to know what
they said thanks sibbles it looks like
undertale music was used in a different
game so the copyright claim will stay in
place for this one so at this point I
was backed into a corner with nowhere to
go and I got a completely vague answer
as to why this claim got denied for
release I had never in my entire life
had heard of this before from anywhere
it doesn’t even make sense for one Toby
fox said explicitly on Twitter that if
you get autoc claimed a dispute would be
accepted and the claim would be released
those were Toby Fox’s words and what
about any of the other playthroughs of
undertale Yellow on YouTube why do so
many other content creators get to have
their playthroughs up but why is my
playthrough specifically having a
problem where the battle music is
getting copyright claimed and when I
asked them to remove the claim which
Toby fox said they should be doing they
deny it this response wasn’t even in
their YouTube FAQ there was nothing in
there that said that undertale music
can’t be played when other games are
present but you want to know what was
even more terrifying about this email
this email response was so vague that I
couldn’t even tell what the actual
problem for this was does this mean that
in order to use undertale music on
YouTube the video has to be about the
actual game like if you were doing a
video as say about something non
undertale related are you allowed to use
undertale music I had to know more so I
followed up with an email clarifying
that the music that is getting claimed
was a remix of the original theme which
by the way on their YouTube FAQ says is
allowed and additionally that other
people are uploading their playthroughs
of the game without any problem of
copyright claims and then they just
completely ghosted me I never got a
response or any sort of clarification of
what they meant by this now those who
have kept a sharp eye have realized that
my undertale yellow playthrough actually
did end up getting uploaded with full
monetization so let’s go over how this
happened remember earlier when I said to
remember that I sent them the link to
the first video that got copyright
claimed yeah well turns out they didn’t
even look at the video in question
because they denied the dispute for the
wrong video so what’s funny about this
is that they denied the dispute for the
second video I uploaded but accepted the
dispute for the first video I uploaded
and if you recall the first video was
the one I sent them in the link so my
only guess as to what happened here is
that they saw undertale yellow in the
title denied the claim on the first
video they saw that had undertale yellow
in the title and then continued to
accept other disputes from other videos
that were sent to them which happened to
include my video and since they’re meant
to accept any disputes that get sent to
them they just accepted it without
second
thought what this was majorly
infuriating and confusing at the time
but since the video eventually got its
monetization back I wasn’t willing to
take this further until the CEO of
material music decided to throw a fit on
Twitter this is what finally made me
want to make this video so as I stated
before undertale yellow has its own
original soundtrack and they want people
to go out and listen to it especially
because there was clearly a lot of
effort put into it and people enjoyed
the music that can be heard in game
however according to undertale yellow’s
Twitter they couldn’t put the majority
of the soundtrack on streaming surfaces
although this seemed to have actually
been a joke and they’re just in the
process of doing it although even though
this is a joke the CEO of materium Music
decided to release a massive Thread
about undertale yellow and you want to
know what he said according to his
reasoning undertale yellow’s soundtrack
couldn’t be put on streaming services
because of the lack of a license and
encourag people for in the future to
contact Toby Fox about doing something
like this beforehand you can probably
tell the problem with this the entirety
of undertale yellow’s project did get
approved by Toby Fox 7 years ago to
exist and on top of that Master Sword
remix the director of the project did
obtain the license for the music through
drro kid of course this didn’t stop Mr
Sebastian wolf from stepping down
against his arguments and then proceeded
to call undertale Yellow a passion
project that took 7 years to create that
is
110% free to download a commercial
Venture this is when I forced my hand I
publicly posted about them refusing to
remove the copyright claim from the
undertale yellow and then proceeded to
talk about how this isn’t even in their
YouTube FAQ it’s important to note here
that the CEO Sebastian wolf was replying
in Mass to a bunch of people’s comments
so I was sort of hoping that he would
see my quote Retreat that was gaining a
lot of traction and respond for some
sort of clarification and of course I
got nothing that is when a couple hours
later I got a bit curious knowing how
bad this company is with disrespecting
undertale I wonder if they had updated
their YouTube FAQ I mean it definitely
sounds like something they would do and
sure enough a couple hours later after I
had called the CEO out on Twitter they
updated their FAQ prohibiting the use of
fan games that use music from the
original game which includes remixes or
covers this is just insane to me this
has never in the history of this game
happened before and what’s funny enough
is that right before this part in the
FAQ they say that remixes and covers are
perfectly fine except you just can’t
have them in fan games for some reason
this is what got me really concerned if
they were willing to completely change
the rules on a dime out of nowhere what
stopping them from changing the rules
again Sebastian was continuing to reply
to people on Twitter and finally
responded to other people talking about
my copyright claim problem of course not
me myself but regardless he made another
tweet going more in depth about the
problem here claiming that undertale
yellow uses undertale music synchronized
to gameplay that isn’t from undertale so
I decided to respond to this asking why
specifically are fan games such as
undertale yellow not allowed to get
their claims removed what about all the
other videos that exists that use
undertale music as background music and
don’t have undertale as a game present
why specifically are fan game videos
denied because I neglected to see the
difference here once again no response
at all and I know he saw my reply
because it was definitely flooding his
notification because of how many likes
it got in fact when asked this question
by other people about if it’s even safe
to use undertale music on non undertale
videos there there there just wasn’t an
answer and this is what has me the most
concerned out of anything there are
hundreds of YouTube videos out there
that use undertale music as background
music what if one day Materia decided to
come out of nowhere and start claiming
undertale music on non- undertale
related videos I mean it’s clear they
changed their mind on fan games not
being allowed to use undertale Music
what’s stopping them from claiming other
videos too I mean let’s take a look at
their YouTube FAQ it doesn’t actually
say anywhere in their FAQ if undertale
music is allowed or not on non undertale
gameplay videos in fact it says vaguely
they will investigate claims if there is
gameplay footage alongside them but what
gameplay footage are they talking about
here is it undertales is it another game
with undertale music as background music
we just don’t know the answer to this
and anytime they get asked this question
they don’t give an answer copyright law
can be very confusing but I think it’s
important to definitely not blame
YouTube here sure it was their aut claim
system that caused this whole issue in
the first place but that’s just them
trying to obey copyright law I think
it’s important to look at Material music
here and give them proper feedback with
what they’re doing because it’s
extremely unprofessional I mean the CEO
literally called this an experiment and
not to mention he isn’t even updated on
YouTube’s copyright system he didn’t
know that there was an option for gam
playay when you can dispute copyright
claims what he’s the CEO of the company
now despite all this don’t don’t go and
harass Sebastian wolf on Twitter he’s a
human too and just like everyone else he
also has emotions I’m sure if he got
hundreds of people screaming at him on
Twitter it’ll only make the situation
worse and may want to make him enforce
worse rules and plus I’m not here to
make anyone feel bad the only purpose
this video serves is to bring attention
to the problem so that any content
creator watching this knows of these
rule changes and how clunky this company
is to deal with and I’m not even all
that mad I was just screaming to make
the video more entertaining additionally
Toby Fox if you’re watching this by
chance please give some kind of official
public statement like you did before
that’s the only way this can really get
resolved at this point but that’s all
thanks for
watching
