Audio part of the Monstercat deal is no longer playable: Decoy World

Another Monstercat song was just taken down for “copyright violations”: Protostar - New Horizons - Roblox

If this actually is the result of the music rights being revoked, could we please get some more clarity/transparency around this? The original Monstercat post never made any indication that certain songs might only be available for a limited time. We included this song in our game as part of a rhythm minigame, and now it will just be complete silence.

If the songs can just be taken down at any time without notice, then I won’t feel comfortable using them for any critical elements in my games.


EDIT: Even non-Monstercat songs have apparently been taken down too, such as: Clair De Lune - Roblox

That is… especially odd, since it’s a classical piece. It’s seeming more and more like this is just the copyright takedown system going haywire, but it’s impossible to know without an official answer.
