Oops. The launch video for Microsoft's Windows Terminal was removed from YouTube due to a copyright infringement claim from MusicBed.

At some point after May 28th, 2019, YouTube took down the Windows Terminal launch video titled "The new Windows Terminal" due to a copyright claim by MusicBed. This video showcased the new Windows Terminal being released by Microsoft in June and had over 1.4 million views.

Copyright Claim

The takedown was first spotted by Jeremy Sinclair today and it is not known exactly when YouTube took the video down. According to snapshots from Archive.org, though, the video was accessible as of May 28th, 2019.

This claim is probably being caused by the background music used in the video, which is licensed by MusicBed. According to Rich Turner, a Senior Project Manager on the Windows Terminal team at Microsoft, they have a license with MusicBed, so this should not have happened.

The infringement claim could have been caused by YouTube automated copyright management tools that copyright owners or license management companies use to find infringing works.

As Microsoft states that they have an agreement in place already with MusicBed, this video should be restored soon.
