    Far Cry 4 and APM Music copyright claims

    Hello,

    I would like to ask you what should I do in this case when APM Music still claims that the song is theirs and I can't use it (After disputing with them)?
    - I have music in game turned [OFF] since the beginning.
    - It happened when I was doing Kyrat Fashion Week and I was speaking with Mr. Chiffon.

    Now claim looks like:
    "Franck Sarkissian, Yannick Kalfayan-Elevator Music", sound recording administered by:
    APM Music Dispute rejected; claim has been reinstated.
    AdRev for a 3rd Party Claim released.

    I have now three options - Remove the song - or say that - OK, I got it - or the third one - file an appeal.

    Thank you in advance

    Are you talking about after capturing a segment then uploading it to YouTube? If so, Google/YouTube have at best a very inadequate filtering system. It's so bad that I've basically stopped uploading any game segments with music in them.

    Yes, that's what I'm talking about... I uploaded to YouTube Kyrat Fashion Week episode where was cut scene with Mr. Chiffon and I got copyright claim - I disputed that with words what you can find on Ubisoft webpage with copyrights and they reopened that claim. That my saying isn't true...

    As far as I am aware music can still be posted on you tube but it can't be downloaded as a video or mp3

    We're not talking about whether it can be posted or not, we're talking about how when you do it's often caught by their filters even when it shouldn't be.

    Same here. I was caught them either. I try to write a formal objection, but they reject it. that's ridiculous.

    Ubisoft should have did what Volition did with Saint's Row. They knew people would be recording in game sessions and posting them all over the internet, so Volition had an "In-Game" recorder that would capture what you were doing,(very similar to FRAPS/Bandicam etc..) with sound, but automatically disable the music due to scumbag lawyers and "artists" making a big deal out of nothing, when all anyone wanted to do was just show their friend/internet something cool that they did while playing the game.

    Remember....It's always about money. If there's one thing we learned from Ubisoft, it's that. (Watch_Dogs, AC:U)

    If you think the video game industry is bad, you should see the music industry. The music industry's obsession with money/legalities makes the video game industry look like a "Nickel & Dime" scheme.

    Hmm, so basically my only options would be in this case to "remove a song" which would as well remove Mr. Chiffons speech OR click on "Ok, I get that" and let them make money from my vids. I don't mind this one - I'm not that big and even if I would I wouldn't care that much... But them, it's just pissing me off that on Ubisoft is that we can use everything and monetize it and suddenly "poof" and nope, you were wrong. This is OURS!

    It's sad that videorights@ubisoft.com doesn't respond that often I asked them twice about copyright claim and they haven't responded...
