I'm to much of a chicken to properly play this game. Uploaded a let's play of it on YouTube, check it out!

Got copyrighted because apparently the rain sound in your game sounds a lot like a music called Chernobyl made by Gamma Gabriel.

Thanks for playing! The sound in question is released under a Creative Commons 0 License (meaning the work is public domain) and is available here from the original author: https://freesound.org/people/felix.blume/sounds/117180/

I believe this is an example of copyrighting free sounds to exploit YouTubers like yourself to receive the monetisation :(

Yep, I uploaded a video about the copyright claim. They can't be serious. They claim that the game ambience sounds like their music. Not cool.

Unfortunately a quick search reveals this State51 "company" has a track record of doing this going back years so it seems YouTube hasn't done anything yet to remove them from the platform. They make money by scraping freesounds.org and claiming the sounds as their own to steal ad revenue from content creators. Pretty disgusting and I'm sorry this has affected you.

Yeah, they even target an almost non existence channel like mine. What makes me even mad is that they're probably targeting a lot of other channel too with such a shitty claim. Thanks for your concern by the way. I'll just wait and see what happens next, already filed a dispute over the right.

Update. They've dropped the Copyright Claim after I've filed a dispute. Thank goodness.
