Hey there!
In your FAQ you clearly state:
I want to record a let’s play or a video review of your game. Is it okay for me to stream or upload footage?
Almost certainly. You’re also welcome to monetise the videos. But please don’t use it for anything naughty or unlawful. If you like the game, we’d appreciate a link to our Steam page, too.
However on the 23rd I received a Youtube copyright claim on the following video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXjDvL6-fkA
Stating:
Claimant:
- catapultdistribution
- On behalf of: Mickymar Productions and Failbetter Games
So in this case it's not really a false positive. But if someone claims these copyrights on "your behalf" that basically states, that the FAQ is incorrect. Or that they do something which they shouldn't.
Would appreciate any info regarding that.

I bring good news!
"Per your request, we have deauthorized our YouTube Sound Recording Collection Service for the songs on this album. Please allow a 24-48 hours for the take-down to be completed by YouTube whereby videos containing songs from this album will no longer be monetized (ie: Ads will no longer appear on the respective videos)."
Sorry for the confusion: this was an opt-in thing that we didn't realise the consequence of.

Mickymar and Catapult are both legit. Mickymar is Maribeth Solomon + Micky Erbe (our composer and her creative partner); Catapult is the distribution service we use to get things on iTunes and other stars.
We followed up with Catapult about a previous instance of this, and they say:
'Most likely what has happened is that the user who uploaded the video received an automated e-mail from YouTube stating that Catapult is claiming the copyright of the song used in their video (on your behalf). That same e-mail basically tells them that they do not need to do anything further, but that advertisements may appear on their content. Anytime a match is found by YouTube, an e-mail is sent to the user that uploaded the respective video informing them of this.
To be clear, no "copyright strikes" are ever issued by Catapult (A copyright strike is basically where Catapult would tell YouTube to pull the video down).'
...does that sound like what you got?
RE the FAQ: we only part-own the copyright on the music, so we may need to amend the FAQ there. (This auto-monetising service postdates the FAQ).

Cool, thanks a lot and I guess I can also thank you in the names of lots of other youtubers who weren't even aware.

Yeah, definitely email FBG about it. I get the impression that this is an automatic flag from the Content ID system rather than someone actively flagging Let's Plays specifically. I could be wrong, though; I've never made Youtube videos before so I'm not sure how all the different types of claims look.
