I just got copyright claims on my videos from F1 24 even though i have the "theme" music settings that should prevent this and have only non copyrighted music in the game. Yet i am getting copyright claims and i cannot monetize my videos. The copyright claim is for "Formula 1 Theme - Brian Tyler" That plays every time after any race single or multiplayer. Can someone please tell me if i need to turn off music completely in this game to avoid copyright problems? why have setting for that, when it doesnt even help. Its the same as it was with EA WRC after launch "streamer mode" music setting that should have no copyrighted music yet there was copyright claims and problems.

Hey there, Thank you for reporting this is still happening, I have escalated this again to the team to check what is happening. As soon as I have more info I will let you know. -Groguet

@Molda-CZ I've had this same problem as well! I had to filter out the F1 theme music from 79 of my videos, so thanks to TuneCore I now have 79 butchered F1 videos in just a couple of weeks time. I can tell you I'm beyond pissed.

Hi everyone,just wanted to update you that there shouldn't be any more copyright claims going forward. We've also put this into our Community Raised Issues thread. Claims of the F1 Theme Song (Brian Tyler) will no longer be copyright-claimed on YouTube by Tunecore. -Vendcera

I can confirm I as well have just started getting the same copyrighted claims on my F124 videos.

Hey there @Molda-CZThis started for me in early May on F1 23 despite years of no issues in previous versions and naturally continues on F1 24. Now all my livestreams show the same copyright claim of the F1 theme music theme. So this isn’t game version specific it’s just google being more google :-(Can an audio option be added to turn off the theme completely? It’s clearly becoming an issue.Cheers :-)

Copyright claims on Youtube even with "theme" settings that should prevent this?

Hey @Molda-CZ,

that shouldn't happen, of course, and I haven't seen any further reports from other players about it, but still flagged it to the team for investigation.

Any further info or ideas you might have could be helpful! Does this happen for every YouTube video? Could you provide a link to one them, perhaps?

@EA_Vendcera Hi and thank you for quick response. So far it happend on two of my videos, but i they are not yet publicly released after upload. One i deleted immediately and the second on is still on youtube but its not possible to share link to it. Here is more information about the copyright claim that it shows to me:
Formula 1 Theme - Brian Tyler Updated May 30, 2024
Content owners: TuneCore
Content type: Audio
Impact on video: Not monetizing
The part of the video that is copyright claimed is the F1 theme song that plays after race when you transition from recieving podium pass rewards and go into the race results screen. But i fear it will start happening even for pre-race cutscene where there is also the F1 theme playing in background.

@EA_Vendcera So i made a dispute to the copyright claim on youtube, to see if it goes away and is maybe just some mistake, and right now i got response, that my dispute against the claim is refused and that the copyright claim is valid and my video will be blocked and demonetized. So i will have to delete the video, edit all the parts pre race and after race where the F1 theme is playing and remove the audio and upload the videos again. Its a shame because it will sound horrible. The after race result screen edited will not be a big problem, but the pre prace intro cutscene will be a problem, because there are commentators talking about the track and about the race at the same time as the music playing, so i will have videos without the commentators and that will ruin the immersion.

i will never understand why developers put "no copyright streamer/youtuber friendly" music options in games and when you use it, you still get copyright claims and problems. Would it be so difficult for developer to just create their own 2-3 simple melodies and put it everywhere in the game so you truly have copyright free option and not fake one where you will still get harrased with copyright claims?

@BeatdownRacing now i am properly scared. i have hundreds of F1 videos, its basically the most important thing on my channel for years, if the copyright claims start to pop up like you are saying i am afraid. Looks like from now on i will always turn off all music completley from every game even though it will ruin the experience.

@EA_Vendcera any news about this? can you please reach some agreement with TuneCore so they stop claiming the videos. From other responses i am not alone and there will probably much more people who we dont know about. thank you
