“This lvl has been moderated!!i dont know why,i needed to change the logo and name.”
Little Big Planet allows you free rein with your imagination but sometimes creators take inspiration from existing games. Such was the case with this Mario influenced racer. It’s a fun little level, looks beautiful and it’s simple. Just keep R1 down to drive. I’m the sackboy with the cape, my son Adam was the brown fella.
Ironically, I received an email from Youtube stating the following,
“Dear donncha2001,
Your video, I wonder why it was moderated …., may have content that is owned or licensed by Sony Music Entertainment.
No action is required on your part; however, if you are interested in learning how this affects your video, please visit the Content ID Matches section of your account for more information.
Sincerely,
– The YouTube Team”
I wonder if everyone who uploads Little Big Planet gameplay videos receives such an email? Duck said he got 4 of them!
Sony Music Entertainment? Is that to do with the game’s soundtrack?
The email from youtube is just an automated email because the soundtrack was content matched. Depending on the record label youtube handles these things in a couple ways, the coolest and most common way is like what happened with your video, they simply identify the song below the description box and leave it at that. And sometimes the video may be blocked in certain countries, for example I have a video with a song that was content matched and it is blocked in Germany, I’m guess this all has to do with copyright laws in Germany.
The other way and something that I’ve never actually experienced myself is they may remove the audio completely. When this happens it might count as a strike but I’m not really sure.
Overall its nothing to worry about its not a ‘strike’ on your account. I think if you were a partner channel then it might be a bigger deal since it is someone else’s content and you are getting paid for views.
