Im wondering what the status of this music is nowadays in terms of using it in a monetized video for an animation.
This one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nxFYoGNJKc
I got the mp3 files here like ages ago:
http://downloads.khinsider.com/game-soundtracks/album/banjo-kazooie-complete
Filename is: 025-level-2-treasure-trove-cove.mp3
The problem: My stuff is finally getting some traffic going (finally) into my Youtube stuff, and after busting my ass for ages learning how to animate, I get some people claiming copyright on all of my videos, they don't even give details about what part of the video they supposedly own rights for, the notice just says "audiovisual content, detected manually" which looks like bullshit.
Me and a bunch of people have used this song everywhere in monetized videos without problems, so I don't think it has anything to do with it, in fact, im pretty certain the guys are scammers that want to steal my ad revenue because my videos started trending lately, getting hundred thousands of views. Im sure they are one of those dodgy companies that are basically professional cunts, usually located somewhere random. I have already invalidated 3 of their disputes, but they've decided to not remove a claim on one of my videos, possibly to try to test my nerve and scare me away from appealing a rejected dispute, but they are wrong, im going to f*ck them up since I know they own nothing off my video, but for this I need to make a perfect dispute, which includes including license of all the (copyright-free) music I've used, so im asking you guys where can I get a formal License for this song which proves I can use it, im talking about something like this:

Here you can click any tracks and it gets you this:
"8bit Dungeon Boss" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
So that's what you would send in case some idiot tries to claim copyright over your content if your content included "Kevin MacLeod - 8bit Dungeon Boss"
I know he released the entire OST for free: https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/2ien2t/grant_kirkhope_recently_released_the_entire/
And I have a bunch of Youtuber friends that have used that song on monetized videos, and never they have gotten any copyright claims over that song, not by Grant, not by Rare or someone relevant, so certainly this "no name agency" has nothing to do with it, but I still want to be as precise as possible on my dispute, so that's why im asking, where to get an official permission where it shows you can use this song for monetized content.
I have even asked Grant, and he said he has no idea about any of this, that Microsoft owns everything he did when he was at Rare and he is afraid he hasn't got a say.
Well, Microsoft has never sent a copyright infringement notice to anyone ever because of using that music on their videos as far as I know, so im confused: What's the current status for that song then?
Im sorry if this is a bit weird to post here but I don't really know where to go to ask this, but just let me know if there is a website or something that I can use as a link to send on my dispute. This is the amazing world of "making it" in Youtube (and by making it I mean like 40 dollars a month which is what my Adsense is showing), you get a bunch of views and subs but you get random bastards trying to ruin your day, waste your time and steal your money.
Thanks
