Let's Plays contain absolutely no content that wasn't created by the user other than his or her voice.
Aside from rips, tSR contains custom work. Even if it's based off of existing, copyrighted characters and such, it's still the hours of the artist that created the original content. Returning to my point made in my previous post, I'd pay to commission sprites, even if it's fan-made, but I won't pay to see someone play a game. I can pay for a game and experience it myself, but it does not produce the custom content available on the main site.
Also, tSR is there to promote creation. Game Making (using the assets for fan-games) and spriting (using the assets to edit or use as reference). Both may eventually lead to the creation of fully custom games and/or sprites. I, for example, have created the game Princess Fantasy Catventure, which is 100% original content, but the sprites and game both weren't the first I made. I have created a great deal of fan-games and fan-made sprites.
