Does this mean every GTA VI scene can be recorded?

Not necessarily. Sony says some protected game scenes cannot be captured. We have not tested GTA VI after release, so we cannot guarantee that every cutscene or gameplay moment is recordable.

Are you allowed to repost all copyrighted music?

Capturing game footage does not automatically grant commercial rights to licensed songs, radio tracks or trailers included in it. Review the relevant Rockstar and platform usage policies and avoid uploading copyrighted music without appropriate rights.
