Beat Games Studio co-founder and CEO Jaroslav Beck posted an excerpt from a NFL game where the music used in the clip is allegedly from his studio's game; Beat Saber. He politely asked NBC and NBC Sports in separate tweets to ask permission before using his game's music as this is clearly copyright infringement. As of this writing, neither NBC or the NFL have responded to the Twitter threads.

I am glad that @NBC likes my tune from @beatsaber! But please next time ask for permission before the use. Thank you!

They're probably too busy trying to fire the intern responsible.

Second possibility, they're trying to figure out if they can sue him for posting the portion of the NFL game highlighting the illegal usage of his music.


But it doesn't surprise me. This stuff tends to happen. There was an ad for a Hospice that played before some movies last summer, I thought the subliminal message in the background sounded familiar, it was the copyright disclaimer for AudioJungle. They didn't bother to pay for the rights and just ripped the music from the preview track.
 
Best low scoring game I have watched in a long time. On topic, maybe someone in the booth way playing Beat Saber. Btw, one of the best new VR games out. Lots of fun.
 
How many people watch games like these? Its $250,000 per infringement. :D

I bet over the same time period they weren't responding they sent out a thousand or more copyright strike / threatening warnings to people downloading Law and Order SVU last night.

SVU.. that would be Soundtrack on Video was Unauthorized. :p
 
They aren't responding, because the NFL is busy working on how to make sure they actually have ownership of the soundtrack, and will sue Beat Games for creating a sound track that properly belongs to the NFL without a license.
 
How many people on here are going to complain about this while pirating software and movies all day?
