I am a amateur YouTube commentator and I recently uploaded a Batman Arkham Asylum video, It was the first part of my single player series on the Xbox 360. I have now received a message on the video manager section of my account informing me that my video contains visual content administered by FuturaNetworks, who as far as I can tell have nothing to do with the Batman Arkham Asylum game.

Does anybody have any idea what is going on and why this claim has been made?

Thanks

Edit:

For reference this is what it says when I click on the message.

Your video may include the following copyrighted content:

Just dispute the claim. I got a couple on some of my videos, I think it's just so they can put their advertising on it and get it for free on some poor guys videos.
Once you dispute the claim they'll know they have no case and fuck right off.

So you haven't been flagged yet? Just upload the video and if you get flagged just dispute it under fair use.

I just had no idea what was going on or why they were making the claim, I'll dispute it like you said.

Thanks again for your help.

No problem :) If you're commentating on the game you're well within your rights to use gameplay footage.

There have been several groups that just spam out "copyright claim" on youtube to get money from the ads and hope enough people will panic and take it down.

While commentaries and Let's Plays are a legal grey area, most companies have some user agreements that allow you to make videos of their content, since videos on Youtube is free advertisement. Many games, Minecraft, Amnesia, even Call of Duty MW2/Blops only did so well because of people making videos of those games.

Thanks for all your help.

No problem, happy to help :) I was actually thinking of doing a let's play myself in a couple of months, so I'd be more apprehensive about doing one if this wasn't the case

Yeah it's just money that's holding me back really. As soon as I can afford I'm gonna get a PVR and start doing them :)

That's what I use, it took me some time to save up enough money to buy my PVR and my Turtle Beach X12 headset, which I recommend as it's a good headset and it works with both Xbox and PC, I have the headphones plugged into my T.V so I can hear and the mic plugged into my laptop so I can record my voice with Audacity :)

It's related to them copyrighting the animated series, if Google is to be believed. Weird.
