Streamer DansGaming asked theCyberpunk 2077official Twitter if the game would have a “streamer mode” so that copyrighted music wouldn’t play on stream and slap streamers with DCMA violations. Many people viewstreaming as an important part of the gaming ecosystem, so the ability of streamers to create content without being saddled with copyright violation claims is an important topic for many. Luckily for those who were curious about this matter, the officialCyberpunk 2077Twitter responded.
The official tweet says that more details are coming later on, but for now, gamers can be aware that the devs were mindful of streamers' rights while creating the game. As such, all the tracks commissioned for the game were made specifically forCyberpunk 2077, even those that come from outside artists, and so this should make things easier on streamers. TheCyberpunk 2077soundtrackwas reportedly created to fit the game’s tone, and it makes sense that it’s made up of all-original tracks for multiple reasons beyond just streamers' ease.
CD Projekt Red has been accused of violating copyrightfor music before, which may be another reason why the devs are being extra careful with theCyberpunk 2077tracks. A Croatian composer named Elvis Stanić accused the studio of stealing a song forThe Witcher 3: Wild Huntlast year. Music copyright claims are a common and tricky thing in the gaming industry, and many devs and streamers just want to steer clear of DMCA issues altogether.
Multiple celebrities have already been confirmed forCyberpunk 2077,including Keanu Reeves, and there are rumors that Dr Disrespect himself will be involved with the game. Fans already have a lot to look forward to inCyberpunk 2077, and the ability to avoid DMCA claims is another win for both streamers and the fans who watch them.
