As with River City Ransom Underground, Mauer filed DMCA claims to get Starr Mazer: DSP removed from Steam in March and get videos off YouTube. This echoes events with Starr Mazer: DSP, another game which used music Mauer composed. "Alex Mauer produced, in collaboration with others, works for RCRU as a sub-contractor, and Conatus believes that it possesses the legal right to use those collaborative works in the game," the team said. The studio stress that Mauer filed the takedowns, not them, and briefly explained that they believe they have the right to use the music. Both player-made videos and some of Conatus's own were targeted.
"We have contacted Valve's copyright department, and will let you know when access is restored."Ĭonatus don't say anything more - unsurprising for an ongoing legal matter - but, prior to the game being pulled, did comment on DMCA takedowns against RCRU videos. "We are aware that RCRU is down on Steam," Conatus said in a terse statement on Friday. Previous DMCA complaints from Mauer knocked another game using music she composed, Starr Mazer: DSP, off sale but that has since returned. Developers Conatus Creative seem confident that the game will be back on sale soon. The game's composer, Alex Mauer, has used the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) to make claims against YouTube videos of the game and seemingly escalated to taking down the game itself. Retro beat 'em up River City Ransom Underground has been pulled from sale on Steam, following a legal tussle over rights to music used in the game.
