GrumpyBumpyButtSkin Posted yesterday at 01:26 AM Report Posted yesterday at 01:26 AM I've been doing research and can't find anywhere that explicitly states whether or not the in-game soundtrack can be used in VODs or if it will be copyright striked if attempted.. Please someone help clear this up? 1
Professor Dragon Posted 19 hours ago Report Posted 19 hours ago (edited) I believe that using the game music for something like a Youtube video would fall under the "Fan Art" and is allowed, provided you are reasonable about it: Terms of Service User Generated Content Fanart Regarding UGC that is inspired by the Art of Anego Studios SIA and shared on our or 3rd party platforms - users are free to create and distribute fan art based on our assets, as long as it is sufficiently presented as fanmade so that other users do not mistake it for official content There are a LOT of Youtube videos out there, that feature Vintage Story, and by necessity, the soundtrack that occurs during play. The Vintage Story Devs. appear to be fine with this. If for some reason this is not sufficient, you could always try to reach out directly to the Devs - probably on the main Discord. (You could try an "@" mention to Tyron or private message here.) Or for the music specifically, to the creator Lo-Phi at the contact on this page: https://lophi.bandcamp.com/album/vintage-story-ost (To be clear, I don't think that you need to do this, if you're just creating your own VS videos, but those are the options if needed.) Another concern is that the Youtube auto-algorithm may strike down your video for featuring copy-righted sound. This is a Youtube error though, not a Vintage Story/music creator issue. I have not heard of this happening to date. Professor Dragon. Edited 18 hours ago by Professor Dragon
