It is important to consider copyright issues when releasing a game on Steam. To help protect yourself, you should research any music, artwork and other content in the game before uploading it to Steam. You should also look into obtaining a Creative Commons license for any third-party content you use. Be sure that any text or visuals created by you are original and cannot be associated with another developer or IP owner. Furthermore, make sure to register your game on the US Copyright Office website as this adds an additional layer of protection against copyright infringers. By following these steps, you can increase the chance of avoiding legal issues when publishing on Steam.

Unfortunately, there is no sure-fire way of releasing a game on Steam without running the risk of copyright holders finding out. You should take steps to protect your own rights and property by obtaining permission from rights owners when required or by ensuring the material you are using falls under fair use guidelines. You may also want to research the company policies of Steam prior to uploading content, as this can also provide some protection against copyright infringement liability for hosting user content.
