F1 2017 - Which content are we not allowed to stream?

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

after I heard, that some videos from F1 2017 released yesterday or 2 days before, were banned, I was wondering, why there have been banned. But by gaming it at first time, I recognized some tricky scenes, that could make streamers the situation very difficult.

Firstly: There is the official FIA-Intro before every new session (Qualifying, Race) and on the beginning of the race scenes with the starting grid animation, there is also the official track guide animation of the FIA. I'm not quite sure, if the FOM is really happy about showing their content on live streams and I could guess (just guess, I don't really know it), that these scenes could be a reason for banning videos or streams, because there will be shown content by the FOM.

So my question is: Which content are we not allowed to show on videos? The FIA-intro? The starting grid? The official track guide? Everything of that?

I don't want to do any mistake there and causing problems by showing content, that we are not allowed to do.

Depends entirely on who filed the DMCA (assuming it was a DMCA) It's it's FOM then it can be pretty much anything, if it's Codemasters, then it'll probably be removed as they're usually accidental. Either way, you can dispute the claims and have the video reinstated in most cases. I had a few league race videos hit by FOM last year, after 14 days it was back up and running fine, and the odd vid that got hit by Codies was usually sorted within an hour by simply tweeting them.

Also, if your content is covered by fair use, you can technically show whatever you want perfectly legally.

Thank you very much for your feedback.

Hi, if you send us the URL, we'll pass it on and get it released for you :)
I didn't stream F1 2017 before. Do you mean, that if a video has been banned by Youtube, I can send you the link to my video? Am I allowed to show every content on the new game (with the points, that Riggy wrote down before with the DMCA)?

Unfortunately I got in trouble now, because my 100% Racestream has been banned from FOM/Youtube. I send you a link to the video via message. Am I able to do other things for helping you?

That's nice, but is it not possible to work out an easier solution for it? You obviously licensed all that stuff for the game, so it shouldn't be blocked when it's part of actual game footage. I know it's propably an automatic algorithm, but that's kinda annoying for people I imagine.

Exactly. And the question is: To which contact shall I send it and on which medium? Private message? Mail? I send a message yesterday and I didn't get any answer until. Of course, everybody has got weekend and deserved that, but I would like to have a contact of codemasters for clearifying this.

Unfortunately I still didn't get any answer. I think, it is not just important for me, but for the entire community getting a feedback, how we can clearify this. I would like to get a contact for unlocking the video again, otherwise I will see this situation as critical, because I can't get any help, if a video has been blocked and I don't really know why.

Problem is it's really easy on youtube for random license monkeys to get vids blocked.
Nothing CM can do about that, FOM probably has some tracker set for key words/items/lists etc and whoever presses the button just happens to go "yup send all to google youtube as license infractions" - it's then easier for google to block it and later unblock in case of it not being a license infraction.

Hell, the title music is likely to cause quite a few infractions because it's a known song. Such is the life of youtubers.

It doesn't really matter what it is, it needs to be sorted out.

They are more open to media these days, ESPECIALLY Youtube. With E-Sports coming up, they should work this out. People are obviously gonna play, stream and upload a lot.

...it looks like it could be possible from codemasters side. My problem is, that after sending the video, I don't get any answer (even a negative one). 

And I'm sure, that there was no music and no songs on that occation, that was given to me as a reason for blocking, so I don't still get the point, why my video has been blocked.

No, it means they need to get it released from YT via FOM as it's a legit video.

They being unable to fix it doesn't mean it can't be fixed. SOMEONE can fix it, and those are the people owning the rights to whatever is being blocked.

Those super smart algorythms should be smart enough to determine (or it should be doable at least) if it's a game or TV footage, though I could easily be wrong about that because I didn't create it.

The problem with youtube is that you can't even appeal the stupid copyright claims.

It would be nice, if they can pass it to YT, but I didn't get any reaction, that they passed it and so I'm afraid, that nothing happened. It would be nice for me seeing a reaction like an answer.

Are there any news regarding to this case? Unfortunately, I didn't get any answer. Is there a possibility to lodge an appeal (but which reason shall I choose there - do I have all the rights on that video?)?

It does seem a bit random. I've uploaded 3 livestream videos to YT and only the 2nd one has been blocked.

Edit - OK the reason i got blocked is because I didn't cut out 1 intro section....may do some editing to remove it and reload

Wow, thank you very much - I'm very happy about these news! Hopefully it will be released again. But can you tell us a way, how we can clearify that in future (if this happens again and I've got the feeling, that it really could happen again)? Shall I create a new thread again or shall I just contact you?

Unfortunately my video is still blocked. Does anybody know, how long it will take for getting a confirmation? I would like to do another warm-up talk with my community tomorrow, but I have a bad feeling, that it could be blocked again.

I have the SAME PROBLEM!

FOM is blocking ALL my 100% race videos and it will take my viewers a MONTH before they can see EACH video! That's so annoying...including having to copy and paste the same message over and over again! ("It's a GAME, dear FOM!")
Look at my playlist and see the few blocked videos - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlXSGtvoXZk&list=PLG4oZsR0X930HrZ-PlNQQPMfbapfn4yhg

Can't Codemasters do anything about this?
Maybe Codemasters should even STOP showing the official F1 animation intro and circuit animations in the game...:-\ Because for these 15 to 30 second sequences my videos are being blocked...WORLD WIDE! X(

Same thing that happened to me with PES 2015 then... One of my videos got blocked due to a complaint filed by someone on behalf of UEFA (LOL!) because it contained the Champions League anthem... But it was an ingame intro! :D
I had to edit it again to remove the UCL anthem to get it available again.

It's someone everyone begged for, so it's not gonna go anytime soon. Especially when there is a simple answer of, just editing it out. U can do it in movie maker, movie maker is free. It is so simple to do, and editing would also be a great way to grow your you tube channel, set yourself awsy from the crowd in that department and it's been shown they u'll grow. Ur channel isn't gonna grow, thru putting whole 100% races in all honesty. Although I 100% agree, that intro shouldn't be trademarked.

 Out of curiosity, I watched some of the video the guy posted. He keeps restarting every time he makes a mistake. Not sure his channel will grow any time soon :mask:
