Let's Play permission for DayZ?

[XenonNeox (DayZ) 0]

Hello to all of you,

I got a pretty general question in which a lot of people might be interested:

I am the owner of a german Let's Play channel and me and my six man crew came to the conclusion that making a Let's Play DayZ would be great for all our viewers.

But now there is a little problem.

YouTube wants to see our permission to load-up DayZ content.

So what is up with that? Is there any gerneral conclusion towards this topic? Is there a certain announcement that everyone has the permission to Let's Play DayZ? If not, who do you have to contact to get such a permission?

Would be damn great if someone has an answer to this topic.

Thanks a lot...

XenonNeox
