Soundtrack usage on YouTube?

Post by Nilaus »

Hi Developers

I am creating some Factorio YouTube lets play videos and even after 800 hours of the game I have not grown tired of the background music :)
However since the music is not constant I bought the soundtrack and I would like to run that as background music instead of the ingame music (as it starts and stops randomly).
Is that allowed from a copyright perspective? I rather want to ask upfront so I do not want to get into copyright violations...

Thanks

Factorio devs are very cooperative and community friendly so I would expect they won't have anything against that.

Hi Nilaus,
playing the soundtrack in Factorio lets play video/stream (or in any video about Factorio, for that matter) is perfectly fine.
Thank you for asking :)

Thank you for the confirmation. I didn't think it would be a problem since it is basically the same music, just in a more controlled manner, but safer to ask first :)
