Cyberpunk 2077 DMCA warning

Long before the game's release, all the way back in October 2020, CD Projekt RED revealed that Twitch streamers won't have to worry about DMCA violations while streaming the game. According to the developer, it was completely DMCA risk-free. 

Now, CD Projekt RED took to Twitter to issue a DMCA warning, asking streamers to turn off their in-game music while streaming. This is due to instances in the game which "might put a DMCA strike" on a streamer's channel.

This is even with the "Disable Copyright Music" option enabled. According to CD Projekt RED, streamers need to make sure to turn off the sound during the first two Braindance sequences. 

The developer explains they are working on it: "Fix is on the way but until then, we'd like to ask you to mute music in the game's settings entirely. We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused."

At the time of writing, no official fix has been deployed. Hopefully, CD Projekt RED will sort out the potential DMCA issue for Cyberpunk 2077 soon, as streamers with the "Disable Copyright Music" option enabled surely felt safe streaming whatever they wanted in the game.
