UPDATE (February 02 2015): we did it! CD Baby is finally out of the way. You will get no more claims for any video related to Goscurry. Whew!

First of all, dear YouTubers, we want to assure you that you have all the right to monetize videos about Goscurry. Until January 29, CD Baby might try to make claims on your video, saying it contains copyright music by Isak J Martinsson. Isak is Goscurry's musician. He doesn't want CD Baby to claim his copyrights on YouTube videos. When he discovered that was happening, he disabled that option and we waited a couple weeks for that to take effect. Now that option is completely disabled in CD Baby so their claim is not only unwanted but also unlawful (and kind of scammy to be honest). If CD Baby tries to claim your video, just contest the claim, get back to monetizing your stuff, and everything will be alright. Sorry for this annoyance, Isak is talking with them and we hope to get them out of the way once and for all. Yes we're pretty angry because of this (and we're usually very un-angry guys).

Additional Note

Both Isak and I agree that a musician's copyright should be protected, that's not the problem here. The fundamental notion here is that a musician's music is his, to do what he pleases with it. Nobody needs a patronizing web company to take control of their music and do with it as they please, ignoring the musician's wishes so they can go on skimming money for themselves.

Update

Isak talked with CD Baby and they say they might go on claiming stuff until January 29 (because apparently they need more than 5 weeks to understand that a checkbox has been unchecked)*. Here is Isak's CD Baby settings, just to show that they shouldn't claim anything already. In no place it's stated that that option is not truly disabled. [img=http://www.goscurry.com/_ext/misc/cdBabyYouAreEvil.jpg] * Actually, we understand that some processes might not be that easy (I worked on big websites in the past, I'm definitely not a newbie to the workflow). That said: 1) More than 5 weeks to truly uncheck an option is really really truly too long 2) In no place it says that that checkbox will take such a long time to be truly unchecked (nor it says that the checkbox state doesn't mean anything at all apparently, since CD Baby still claims stuff after finally unchecking it). 3) The option is now disabled since some days, which made us think we could release Goscurry without any CD Baby claims (otherwise we would've waited). Did you trick us on purpose CD Baby? You ever heard of usability and transparency? Daniele Giardini (Goscurry's developer) Isak J Martinsson (Goscurry's musician)

Goscurry is a hard electro-beat game, where you must relax and follow the rhythm — except for speedfreak modes, where things go crazy. Reach as many cities as you can by piloting a ship on a perpetually assembling road, suspended over a stylized and surreal landscape, while taking sharp corners, evading hazards and avoiding panic attacks.
BE BRAVE, DON'T PANIC

Features

• 5 different modes: Training, Hard, Pro, Speedfreak, Paranoid
  
• Unlock 5 visually different ships plus the Psycho, which will make everything harder and more rewarding
  
• Online leaderboard
  
• Achievements, cards and badges
  
• Original soundtrack by Isak J Martinsson
