This is a legitimate right?

When I record the video, I try to add "German March Order" music to my video But I get Copyright claim

Copyright owners
ICE_CS

Is this a legitimate?

But the paradox launcher did not display any information As you can see I did not enable Sabaton Soundtrack I absolutely respect creator copyright and Paradox Video Policy items are explicitly excluded German March Order not included

Is anyone here? Is there no way to solve this problem?

It's not a HoI or Paradox question so much as it is a YouTube question, so this isn't really the best place to ask. You'd probably want a forum of YouTube content creators, or perhaps lawyers (who will inevitably give you the advice that you need to hire a lawyer for your specific case, since that's always the correct answer for legal questions, rather than trusting the advice from random people like me on the Internet).

YouTube copyright strikes are filed by copyright owners. They generally have automated filters which scan soundtracks of posted videos, looking for content that's similar to their music. "Similar", rather than exact, is a matter of necessity, both because an exact match would be easy to defeat with some trivial, inaudible changes, and because derivative works like cover songs are also covered by copyright law, so just recording your own version of something doesn't make it free from the original creator. Laws are similar in most countries (there's a treaty called the Berne Convention that standardizes minimum requirements for them), but you'll have to check your own jurisdiction for details and differences. YouTube itself mostly tries to stay out of the arguments, and seems to lean toward the copyright holders, probably because less or delayed content is better for them than being the target of lawsuits.

I don't speak German, so I'd have a hard time researching this particular issue. The song itself is from 1915, so it might be public domain, or might not. Berne makes copyright extend for lifetime plus 50 years, so the song could be in that period. Particular arrangements of songs can also have their own copyright, lasting after that period.

I did find at least one complaint that ICE_CS is one of those companies that files YouTube copyright strikes early and often. It's easy and cheap to let bots file copyright strike notices even without human intervention, so some people just spray them around. The strike might simply expire after 30 days. Or you can take up the gauntlet and challenge the copyright strike to get ICE_CS to drop it sooner by filing your own counter-notification with YouTube.

YT is also notorious for having many bogus claims. People have been flagged for infringement on songs they created themselves. I even saw CGP Grey mention that the bot algorithm give a notice of infringement against CGP Grey in one of his videos.

It might or might not be a legit claim, but it's a little fishy when in-game music gets claimed given that game playthroughs are inherently transformative and the music is part of said game. Depends on local law too though. Best to check with someone familiar with the law in question rather than here.

It's amazing how unfair YT has been to gamers who produce gameplay content. You make a video that advertises for free for a Paradox product and they reward you with a strike.

Paradox did not file the copyright strike -- as the screenshots in the OP show.

I don't know for certain that this ICE is the same as the "ICE_CS" shown in the screencap. But they're at least in the business.

I thought about Submit a counter notification But I'm afraid that YouTube thinks my request is not valid. I mean to close my channel or any other punishment I try to post on the YouTube forum about this issue I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but I tried 3 times "an error, please try again"

Yes i think so too But I think it is difficult to change this Hiring a lawyer or requesting legal support sounds too much trouble So i think i might give up
