The issue at hand pertains to instances where content related to the games Deltarune and Undertale, when presented on the YouTube platform, has triggered copyright claims or strikes. These actions typically arise when copyrighted material, such as music, visual assets, or substantial portions of the game’s content, are used without explicit permission from the rights holders. For example, a video featuring an extended gameplay sequence with the game’s soundtrack prominent in the audio could be subject to a copyright claim.
The significance of understanding this dynamic lies in its impact on content creators. Copyright claims can lead to demonetization, preventing creators from earning revenue from their videos. Multiple copyright strikes can ultimately result in the removal of content and, in severe cases, termination of a YouTube channel. Historically, copyright enforcement on YouTube has been a complex and evolving landscape, with both rights holders and content creators navigating its intricacies.
