 Hello everyone,
I'd like to share a few words with you after the liquid-hungry holidays. On the occasion of Code Lyoko's 20th anniversary last September, one of the two composers of the "Un monde sans danger" theme song Justine Sainte (then Franck Keller) announced a new project for the coming year, tweeting:
While there's no obvious link between this and the latest announcements (which were made after the fact, it should be noted), there are already some very concrete consequences: Justine Sainte has reported numerous abuses of rights concerning the cult song of our favorite series, which explains the multiple deletions of associated videos in recent weeks, including that of Julien Lamassonne, the vocalist himself!
This wave of strikes is ultimately the logical consequence of a certain abuse (not unique to the Code Lyoko community, of course) concerning remixes or covers that flourish on Youtube or Spotify, and which for some, serve to make (undue, in fact) money by not crediting the right composer.
This doesn't mean, of course, that it's impossible to cover all or part of the credits for our fan projects - proof of which is that some very current ones do so with her authorization - but it does mean that it's essential to respect copyright. It's always worth remembering.
Well, we'll just have to wait and see what happens in 2024. And happy new year!

Update on the 6th of January 2024: Yes, things move fast these days, and Justine Sainte has explained the topic further in a video by Code_Lyokofan_ which you can find on YouTube (in French). She speaks on the aforementioned rights issue, reveals that an album is in thr works for the 20 year anniversary...and vaguely implies the eventual possibility (yes I was careful with my words there, did you notice?) of a link between what she's working on and the previous announcements from Mouscadet and Decroisette, as she seems to know more about what's going on, citing a "search for funding to do a cartoon."
