    Got a Copyright Claim on Youtube for using Fusion's menu song, what do i do?

    Just as the tittle says, i never got a copyright claim before, so i don't know what to do, i used the song form the main menu at the end of teh video, so i could take it down and re-upload it with a different song, but that's a big time waste.

    Any help?

    Ubisoft's policy on videos using game content: http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php...YouTube-videos
    I'm afraid I can't do much more than point you at the policy as I've never had to deal with the situation myself.

    So true Why does everything seem to get worse when new 'innovations' come around. YouTube, Uplay, F2P...all massive steps backwards. I am a grumpy old man...I miss gaming when you bought a game, it was yours, it was complete, you would be hard pressed to find bugs, there was no DLC models (games were feature rich on publishing). boo hoo

    Guys, you are free to use content - even to make money from them, as long as it follows those rules.

    If you believe you have had an unfair strike [youtubes auto detection can be funny sometimes] - there is an contact address for the video rights team in that post

    As a long time YouTuber, I'll be honest with you. It's possible, and usually pretty easy to get the copyright claim lifted using the forms provided by YouTube. Problem is that it usually take 4-6 weeks for the claim to be lifted and for you to monetize the content. Your best bet is to just reupload the video with the audio from the menu muted.
