If you plan on streaming or offering up video Let's Plays of Cyberpunk 2077, you were probably concerned about the amount of licensed music in the game. Short of muting the music completely, there really isn't much of a safe haven from the dreaded DMCA strikes that could happen at any point to anybody who puts out content for games like Cyberpunk.
Thankfully, the folks at CD Projekt Red recognize that DMCA is a right bastard and are including an in-game solution for the problem. They have included a toggle that will enable or disable copyrighted music from playing in the game. In its place will be a selection of music created "in-house" at CD Projekt Red. In total, there are over 150 songs that will be played across the game's radio stations and within the game's nightclubs. So there's a good chance that without this toggle, you will get dinged pretty hard with DMCA and copyright claims.
The last thing we want is for you to run into any copyright issues. Because of this, we have created a dedicated feature for content creators. The “Disable Copyrighted Music†toggle, available in the game’s settings, will disable a small portion of in-game tracks, streaming of which could otherwise result in demonetization or takedowns of your videos or stream clips/VODs. Be sure to have this option enabled before you start streaming or recording your Cyberpunk 2077 content!
As mentioned above, using the “Disable Copyrighted Music†toggle should prevent you from experiencing any copyright issues. However, if you run into any problems of this nature despite having the toggle on, be sure to check with us at legal@cdprojektred.com. We will try our best to help you!
