so after the absolute bloodbath, that was the mass content claims, as a miniscule content creator i'm wondering if i'm able to post d2 vids with background tracks of the d2 ost not edited out, as well as it being ok to leave cutscenes like the drifter in gambit and pre/post mission cutscenes? i'm still a little shaken up from the claims..

[quote]GAME CONTENT USAGE RULES Your use of our data and content must be non-commercial, unless you obtain Bungie’s prior written permission. That means you don't own our stuff, so you can't sell it, use it to sell other things, or give other people permission to use it. The license that we grant to you only covers the things that we create: the “Bungie Content” (as defined below). If we have a license to use someone else’s music or art, we can’t extend it to you, so you’ll have to reach out to them for permission. We ask that you put some time and effort into your content. Make it your own. Don't just upload a copy of our video and slap ads on it. We don't slap ads on our own stuff. If you do that, we reserve the right to have the content removed and send you a nasty letter. In fact, we can change this policy, or order you to stop sharing our content for any reason, at any time without warning, even if we have previously given you permission. We have a hard time imagining why we’d do that, but we reserve the right. All of your use of the Bungie Content must comply with these Terms and the Content Usage Rules (as defined below). You may use game footage, screenshots, and other elements of Bungie games that are owned by Bungie (“Bungie Content”) to create your own content (“Your Content”) provided that you must comply with these Terms and all of the following restrictions (the “Content Usage Rules”): You must not use Bungie Content to create any infringing, threatening, libelous, obscene, or otherwise unlawful or tortious material. You must not sell or earn any revenue or other compensation from Your Content, including any advertising revenue or subscription revenue. You must not post Your Content or Bungie Content on any page that is used to sell products or services or use Your Content or Bungie Content in apps that are distributed for a fee, or in which fees are collected (e.g., “freemium apps”) or advertising revenue is received. You must not use the name of any Bungie games in the title of Your Content. You must not grant anyone else an exclusive license to distribute Your Content. Your Content must not infringe any intellectual property rights, violate any person’s rights (such as right to privacy), or misappropriate any person’s intellectual property. You can use Your Content on a page on which you make a donations request. You can use Your Content to enter a contest so long as the contest organizers comply with the Content Usage Rules. Anyone else who uses Your Content must follow the Content Usage Rules. You must obtain Bungie’s prior written permission for any use of Bungie Content or Your Content not in accordance with the Content Usage Rules. If you don’t obtain Bungie’s prior written permission and you violate any of the Content Usage Rules, your license to use the Bungie Content will terminate automatically. If you share Your Content with anyone else, (a) you grant to Bungie a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, sub-licensable, transferable license to Bungie and its assigns to use, create derivative works of, distribute, display and perform Your Content and to use your name if Bungie chooses in connection with Your Content, in each case, without paying any compensation to you, and (b) you must include the following notice about the Bungie Content with Your Content, whether in a README file, on the appropriate web page, or anywhere else that makes sense so that users of Your Content see the notice: “© Bungie, Inc. All rights reserved. Destiny, the Destiny Logo, Bungie and the Bungie logo are among the trademarks of Bungie, Inc.”[/quote] Further Clarifications and specifics can be found in the IP Information https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Legal/intellectualpropertytrademarks (Please note that this is also where Bungie specifically grants the right in writing to commercialize/monetize your content if you follow the guidelines) [quote]Media Players may create videos using Destiny gameplay, which may be uploaded to third party sharing services like YouTube. If a chosen video-on-demand service enables players to monetize content, we will generally not request takedown if at least 20% of the content within the video has been created by the player. Examples of what “player created content” may be defined as include custom commentary, animations, graphics, or gameplay. Conversely, please do not upload Bungie trailers or cutscenes with mere advertisement(s) or borders that take up 20% of the screen or 20% of the runtime. Content creators should use our stuff to make their own stuff, rather than uploading our content to their own channels. Streaming gameplay is another viable form of sharing community-created Destiny content. Services like Twitch enable players to monetize content via subscriptions or donations. For additional information, please refer to the terms of use for your preferred streaming platform.[/quote] It is up to you to make sure your content fulfills the criteria of being your own created content and not just Bungie's content put on your platform. Bungie always reserves the right to issue a takedown if your content does not meet the requirements, but if you follow the guidelines above, you should be fine. The massive false takedown thing that recently occurred wasn't Bungie's doing.
