Nintendo ID Claims Youtube LPs

[Mutsukki]

Which part of "they're not charging anyone anything" is hard to understand? And even if they did sell DVD compilations or shirts or whatever, like the Angry Videogame Nerd always did, the only thing copyrighted thing is like, the game's footage recorded by themselves, which I'm think makes it their right over the video anyway?

The difference here is, he's not doing a Let's Play, recording every little thing that happens in the game. He does the aforementioned, where he'll say problems with a game, show a clip, do his other movie editing things, and show what other factors he has to talk about. He doesn't have a full play list of like 39 videos showing his entire playthrough of the game.

Ok, so that's alright, but commenting over your playthrough of a game isn't? I get where you're coming from, but somebody still had to write or at least, improvise to make the video -interesting-. Don't base LPers off PewDiePie or something, he's horrible. But there are people who does a legit good job out of it and shouldn't be penalyzed. It's not just a simple walkthrough, the best ones do a LOT of editing to make it interesting and not boring for everyone. To be fair and honest, the most early LPers did it just for fun, but if Youtube opens up the possibility of working on stuff and getting paid, why the hell is that wrong? Nintendo is shooting their own foot here.

And, as far as I know, people who do videos like AVGN are suffering from this too.
