Cyberpunk 2077 has a ‘streamer mode’ that disables copyrighted music

This is.. god, this is awful. I mean, it&#x27;s good that they did this because it will help players and content creators that show gameplay to not be blocked, banned, or whatever it is they do. I mean, I even like the feature, in this sense.<p>But the existence of this problem is just so petty, that it makes me sad that we need to do this.

I see this as a missed opportunity by not including independent artists that release their music licensed under Creative Commons.<p>Imagine offering an option to switch to only CC music. That would boost exposure of (usually) independent artists while at the same time clearing streamers from any copyright issues.<p>As an independent music producer myself, I for one would love the notion of my music being included in a game like this, even for free.

Did someone new take over the RIAA in the last 18 months? I felt like this absurd litigation and nonsense was a thing of the past. I haven’t heard much on this topic in years but then all of the sudden the stupidity was cranked to 11.<p>No one steals music any more. What are these studios thinking??

First steps toward only including music where the copyright holder approves of streaming.

A few games have this setting, Control for one. YouTube streamers like to use it because of the copyright strike nonsense, that way they don’t have to do it manually or turn down the audio.

But doesn&#x27;t have a release date
