Hello Space Engine Fans,

First of all i'd like to thank the community and of course Vladimir Romanyuk for their awesomeness.

I've been trying to record some space trips and sharing them on youtube, but i'm experiencing copyright troubles for some "ingame" music tracks.
So i'm comin here to ask if anyone got an answer about i should manage it.
- Wishing i could keep the original tracks of Space Engine.
- Should I just leave those awesome musics outside of my footage.

Thx for reading
Peace
Daz

Fair use of material is a grey area governed by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). You can hire a lawyer to translate it into English. Claiming "Fair use" is really a last ditch effort to not break the law. You might be able to use copyrighted material if it is for non-profit, but that doesn't mean YouTube won't put ads over your video. It might make a difference if you are only using a portion of the music. It might matter that SE is not commercially sold, but having that song out there might affect SE's potential market value, which YouTube doesn't want to be responsible for. Best bet is to use YouTube's own royalty free library of music tracks and add that to your video. Or even better yet, get a license from the makers of the music in SE saying you can use it. A note saying "Yeah, it's ok" in a forum won't cut it. You must contact them directly and pay. One final option is to distort the music so that it is not detected by their tracking system called ContentID, by either changing the speed or adding a filter to it such as a voice synth. I'm sure you knew all this already. This message will self destruct in 10 minutes.

Doesn't Space Engine allow their music to be used freely on YouTube? Surely, they know people put videos of their sessions on YouTube!

Does youtube blocks out SE music? On which reason? That music is not copyrighted, it belongs to its authors. Maybe if you add a mark: "Music - SpaceEngine soundtrack" they will accept it.

It does, I've made a video using SE music and I received a Copyright Claim.

I was also sure this music was not copyrighted (free to use with non-commercial products?), but maybe YouTube monetization does violates the copyright licence.

It might be free to use music, but not music you can use for anything else which is why it is claimed.  Creative commons doesn't mean copyright free.

Thanks for your replies everyone, It took a few days for Youtube to deal with the audio copyright but they allow it after a reclaim so everything is fine just not smooth.

Monetized YouTube video = commercial use. If something is free to use non-commercially, it means that you cannot monetize it.

I have posted a video on You Tube using Space Engine.  I have used a copyrighted song, and have gotten permission from the artists to use it.  After posting the video, I see there is a copyright claim by a music company, and apparently it is legitimate, and they can put ads on my video.  No ads yet, but they might be added later.  I gain nothing from the ads as the money goes to the music artists for the music.  What is the Space Engine policy in this situation?  Is this allowed, or am I violating Space Engine's license?  If I am in violation, I will remove the video, but I will be really disappointed because I think it is a great video.  The music is great, too.  Thanks.

HapNStance, copyright to the music does not belong to SpaceEngine, it belongs to the music artists and/or their publishers. You have to talk to them.

Thanks HarbingerDawn for your reply.  This is in regards to my post 04 Apr 2017, and your response 26 Jul 1017.  I understand the copyright for the music belongs to the music artist.  I have gotten permission to use the music.  The copyright claim is posted by a digital music company, and apparently is legitimate.  I have no personal objection to an ad being posted on my video for the benefit of the music artist.  It hasn't happened yet, but could in the future.  I just want to be certain that this arrangement would be acceptable to Space Engine.  As I said before, I am posting videos on You Tube made using Space Engine with no monetary gain for myself, and I want to be sure that ads put on my videos strictly for the benefit of the musician does not violate Space Engine rules.  Thanks.

Ads placed on a video by YouTube, the music artist, or their distributor are not something that you have any control over, and is something that you do not benefit from, so why would you get in trouble for it? You are not allowed to monetize the video, and in this scenario you would not be monetizing the video, ergo there is no problem.

Sorry for hijacking an old thread but I can't seem to be able to start a new topic. My question was similar, to be exact it's about using in game footage for use as a music video and using footage to be played in accompaniment with a live band on a projector. This is classed as commercial use and thus requires me to get in touch with the creators of Space Engine, am I correct?
