Soo it's my first time uploading a proper video to Youtube and apparently the music during the intro where you receive the sealed letter was apparently copyright by Tencent but after looking into it, it would seem that only Concerned ape owns the music. has this happened to anyone else?

Of course it’s tencent. They’re like Peehair and take anything.
It’s a known issue with YouTube, basically anyone can put a copyright claim on things they don’t own. And YouTube doesn’t do anything about it.
Looking up the content listed pulled up a channel called 沐翎 – Topic with a song called 月光水母于深洋起舞 that is literally just a low-quality version of the song that plays during the Moonlight Jelly festival.
In “their” song 重生之我在鹈鹕镇当农民, at about 51 seconds in, this one rips the exact riff from Stardew Valley Overture…. which might be okay if it was a fan doing a piece of credited fanart remix and not a major company trying to claim the music as their own when it’s very clearly taken exactly from someone else so they can steal money from actual content creators.
Anyway, it’s the same “composer” as the one listed in Tencent’s claim on your video and all of “their” music comes with the note “Provided to YouTube by Tencent.” It would seem this composer is either very influenced by ConcernedApe or is AI trained on music by ConcernedApe. They joined YouTube a day ago and already have fifty songs uploaded… and I just don’t trust Tencent to actually be funding a smalltime composer at this point. And now, because the songs they stole and shoved onto YouTube are pretty much taken from Stardew, Tencent is falsely flagging Stardew videos.
I can share links with you if you think they’d help at all, but I chose not to post them because I don’t know that there’s anything we can do reporting-wise and I feel like Tencent kinda just stole a lot of music from a lot of people, shoved them on a page and are probably checking out statistics on those to see which people are the most profitable to steal from. This is my conspiracy anyhow. But if y’all think it could be helpful, I can share with everyone. I have no idea what the best course of action is on this type of thing. It’s also very easy to just look up given that we all know the exact name.
This isn’t the first time Tencent has done this — stolen music then false struck people who were using the music Tencent stole. Evidently, it’s happened to a guy named Ola Englund as well and I’m very inclined to believe him given how blatant they were about this.
