TDM and YouTube's Content ID System


Cambridge Spy

Recommended Posts

I heard people say that some of the tracks featured in TDM are picked up by YouTube's Content ID system. Are these videos blocked anywhere (like Germany) as a result? The reason I'm asking is I'm going to upload playthroughs of certain TDM Fan Missions soon.

Videos normally only get blocked in germany if they feature content that is coyright protected, like music for example. Let's plays are not blocked (at least I never encountered it).

Not even LPs are immune, two of my LP videos for MoTmod are blocked in Germany for songs copyrighted by UMG playing in the background. What I'm asking is does the Content ID system register any BGMs as a licensed song that's claimed by GEMA?

AFAIK, all base music for TDM is custom, so there should be no copyright claims. Adding copyrighted music to a video about TDM might be problematic, but other than that...

Does the Content ID system falsely recognize any of the TDM tracks? That's all I'm asking.

 

Also, can I please have a copy of the TDM logo with the website name replaced with 2.03? I'll use it as part of the intro to each video that I'll do.

Hard to answer that positively, but I've not heard of any problems coming up for discussion here. Some FMs do use copyright music of course, with permission. You'd have to check the readme in the mission pk4.

 

I'd not have thought auto-detection of music would be a problem... it'll be mixed in with other game sounds. Software can cope with that, but it's surely not the situation the detection software is looking for?

If you get blocked in germany and you didn't add music yourself then you should call the Youtube support. TDM music is not licensed via Gema / UMG.

 

This sucks - I know ... germans... :laugh:

I just like my videos to be available worldwide. Can someone please send me an image of the TDM logo on a black background, with the name of the website replaced with "2.03"? I'm going to need it as part of the intro to my videos, as well as thumbnails. I've recorded three FMs so far.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
