To that end, we have acquired re-transmission rights to all licensed music featured in this livestream broadcast. However, due to forces beyond our control, we cannot guarantee music labels/publishers/bots will not incorrectly claim something on stream.

Video on Demand (VOD): The music in the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase is licensed for 12+ months for all online use worldwide. We recommend delisting or deleting your VOD video by June 1, 2022 to reduce DMCA risk.
For those planning to create full post-show breakdowns in the form of VOD coverage, we recommend you do not use any audio containing copyrighted music to avoid any action by music industry bots. Note, video footage of games is perfectly fine – just be wary of copyrighted music, commonly found in game trailers.
