Cyberpunk 2077 Davis warns streamers that DMC should shut down all music to avoid strike

CD Project Red (CDPR) Expected new roleplaying game Cyberpunk 2077 A bit of a rough release is happening, and you can now add potential copyright piracy issues while streaming to its early-day hiccup list. The developer says any potential Twitch streamers should turn off all in-game music to avoid any strikes on their channel until they have a fix ready.

Developer The first Wednesday warned potential streamers, Before Cyberpunk 2077 It was officially launched in all sectors that during the “Brindance” sequence of the game a certain song (CDPR did not say anything) could provoke the Digital Millennium Copyright Pirate Act strike. Even if you’re using a special in-game setting designed to toggle copyrighted music for this specific reason.

Brindance is a kind of memory replay that is in the world Cyberpunk 2077. As part of the main storyline, you are shown a song written by two sequences and some sort of bug that prevents that song from being toggled with the in-game setting option. CDPRA has advised to turn off the sound only during the branding parts of the game so that the DMCA does not receive a strike on your channel.

But now the CDPR says the issue may be bigger than it is already understood and now advises that “additional instances in the game that could bring DMCA strikes on your channel.” CDPR says the fix is ​​on the way, but disabling all music (both copyrighted and original tracks) while streaming the game is not the ideal position to avoid tripping automated search systems that protect copyrighted functions.

Hopefully the developer will release a patch soon to fix this issue because without it, any twitch streams Cyberpunk 2077 Going to stay terribly quiet for the near future.
