I'm confused about how YouTube music copyright actually works

I'm confused about how YouTube music copyright actually works.

I know a lot of people say that if you use any copyrighted song, you'll either get a Content ID claim or a copyright strike.

For example, I want to make a video game channel and use music from the same game as background music. Is that a problem?

Also, how can I make my videos qualify as fair use?

I remember a famous YouTuber, Scott The Woz, had a video where he talked about several games, but the background music wasn't even from the games he was discussing. He listed the music used in the description, and his channel is obviously monetized.

Could someone please explain how this all works?

What's up with Cheryl/Alessa?

I always wondered why did chryl run from Harry in the beginning of the game

And people said well it wasn't cheryl anymore, Alessa was controlling her since she came back to alessa's sould

So why did Cheryl left a memo in the alleyway

And another question, Alessa sure knows Harry is a good person and did good things for her/Cheryl and why would she hurt him in the fog and wouldn't tell harry what really is going on

I mean i know it's a story a it should well... continue

But these are really some questions for me

Just beat Code Veronica for the first time and it was perfect

It was great i played it on Dolphin emulator and all thoug the emulator gived a good experience with cheat to skip door animations

I wish there was a native apc port with original lighting and 60 FPS and widescreen and HD UI and textures

But still i loved this game and maybe some day try the awful HD version
