What to Do If You Get a Content ID Claim for Touhou Meijinka ~ Song of Divine Tempest-related content

We apologize for any inconvenience if you get a Content ID claim on videos related to Touhou Meijinka ~ Song of Divine Tempest on YouTube.

The majority of players encounter this issue in the game’s intro, which is a stock recording of a thunderstorm originating from Freesound and licensed under a Creative Commons license. Some artists apparently sampled the recording in some of their songs distributed by multiple labels such as CD Baby, DistroKid, or TuneCore. When songs are uploaded to YouTube’s Content ID database or other systems such as those by Audible Magic for example, the data is automatically generated by certain performing rights societies (such as ASCAP, PRS, or SOCAN). Since they’re in there, there isn’t a “do nothing” option when a match is found.

If you upload a video related to the game and receive a claim, please dispute it saying your video does not contain the songs included. We will work with the labels distributing the mistakenly claimed songs and have this not happen on as many videos as possible.

This problem also happened to some videos related to the Touhou 2: The Story of Eastern Wonderland NES Demake, specifically the fourth stage and its boss. We appreciate any advice from users who have experience with managing Content ID claims, as well as individuals and companies with material registered with Content ID or Audible Magic.
