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
