Inquiry: Is Genshin Impact's YouTube Music Copyright Being Hijacked by Third Parties?

Recently, players in the community reported that the music rights for HoYoverse's 'Genshin Impact' (including popular tracks like 'Divine Damsel of Devastation') on YouTube might have been hijacked by unauthorized third parties. Allegedly, many fan creators have been hit with 'copyright strikes'—a malicious use of YouTube's copyright reporting system—causing their content to be removed or flagged.

As the discussion deepened, many veterans recalled that this isn't a new issue. Some pointed out that similar incidents had occurred as early as May. Regarding the culprits behind these 'copyright strikes,' the consensus leans toward a shell company in Hong Kong masquerading as Tencent to maliciously assert rights, rather than Tencent itself.

The comment section remains highly active: some players jokingly referred to the situation as 'Tencent Music's proxy,' while others provided links to past incidents, such as unauthorized 'remixed' versions of the soundtrack appearing on platforms. While some users questioned whether these proxies are still active, a shared screenshot shows that the agency can indeed still be retrieved in certain systems.
