# Copyright Claim on YouTube for in-game music

I recently uploaded a video from Twitch where I am doing part of my playthrough of the new Mirror's Edge: Catalyst game. After I uploaded it I received an e-mail for a copyright claim on the video due to their automatic scanning system that detected some of the game music. Here is the link set to where the song starts: https://youtu.be/l3Nhkw-nz6M?t=37m57s . It goes from 37:57 - 38:55 and was flagged as "Warning Call (Theme From Mirror's Edge Catalyst) [Bonus Track] - CHVRCHES". So my question is: Is this something that I can win if I file an appeal or should I just not try to deal with the legal issue or does the ME: Catalyst EULA prevent me from doing this? I mean, this song is THE theme song, which is why it's in the game. I just don't want to file an appeal, lose it, and then have an copyright strike on my account.

  You can appeal it claiming fair use.

  This is my thought as well but I just wanted to double check with people on these forums because I cannot find the EULA on this website to double check what they legally allow us to do.

  Its likely just the IP worrying about their money and always try to make as much as possible, even if it makes them look like uptight ***holes, but hey, if its legal, who cares if its morally wrong. eh? lol

  I am having a similar issue too. I uploaded a gameplay video of Mirror's Edge Catalyst to YouTube yesterday and received an email for a copyright claim today due to the Content ID of YouTube detected some of the in-game music. Here's the link to the video:
  The song is from 12:43 to 13:13, and was flagged as "The Shard - Solar Fields". I'm not going to file a dispute though. I just don't understand why EA want money so much.
  I wish I had the actual soundtrack too.

  In the description just write no copyright infringement intended and they'll leave you alone

  I never knew EA wanted money so bad that they even had to claim copyright on a ordinary "let's play" video. I guess I'll write that in the description next time.

  I don't see the problem. As long as it's not a strike you can just leave it at there.
  They'll just put ads on your video and get money for it.
  Only big youtubers see that as a problem, reason why they go for a managed partnership: to prevent content id matches.

  Hopefully it's just for that song. It kind of sucks, but at the same time I do understand why you're getting a copyright claim for that song. But yeah, they really should make it okay to use for your ME videos.
