Can a Bungie employee please read this and try to sort this out through the chain of command.

I am a Official Machinima Director and on my Youtube Channel i am getting numerous Copyright claims regarding the Halo Soundtracks

Entity: Kontor New Media, Warner Chappell, IDOL (Independent Distribution On Line), and IDOL (Independent Distribution On Line) Content Type: Sound Recording.

I cannot dispute this as i dont have official licences for the soundtracks for use. I know some directors who claim they had emails from Bungie Employees about this... but don't know

Can someone help me out please

Couldn't have you just emailed this to a Bungie employee?

I would assume Kontor aided in the distribution of the Reach OST, thats why they are listed in the copyright claims.

Kontor have no direct affiliation with Microsoft, and as Microsoft own the copyrights to the Halo series, and the Soundtracks to all previous Halo games are available for public use under the game content usage rules, I'm sure you will be fine.

I have not had any action taken against a video I made using a few tracks from Halo: Reach, and that was uploaded over 3 months ago.

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

The community forum would be far more helpful with this

How did I escape? With difficulty. How did I plan this moment? With pleasure.

I uploaded like half of the song "rain" to a video. Like 40 seconds beginning, and 30 seconds of it at the end of the video. I haven't really noticed it nor cared, but now I am a little aggravated, it could be a little more popular if it was available in more places than just "Spain".

As a result, you video is blocked everywhere except:
Spain

But apparently, these tracks are public, and should not be copyrighted against?

"Where ere thou hast been, here or in yon world manifest? Canst thou tell what is, or what was, or what is to come? No thing shall last. Yet there are some things that will never change. History is written in blood, yet are battles really lost on the battlefield? Canst thou tell me where thou comest, and where thou goest, and what is, or what was, or what will be? For everything remains, AS IT NEVER WAS."

We really need a better video hosting site... I try to make Halo Music Videos as well, and quite a few of them have been removed.

We don't need a license to use the Halo soundtrack?

That is what I thought, but apparently not. I just want to verify before I go and dispute this.
