I watch FTL game vods regularly. Recently the whole FTL community was hit by id claims on the music in the game, from a company that doesn't own the copyright, on behalf of the author, who has nothing to do with it. He replied that he's aware but cannot do much with it. And FTL is too small to bubble up in social media. It's not the first time it happens.

The situation resolved in two weeks, but for that time all monetization was "shared" with a scam entity. The name of the scammer is "TuneCore".
