This argument again? It makes absolutely no sense. You're not distributing the game, you're not sharing it, you're actually making it harder for the person to enjoy ONLY the game, because there'll be freaking commentary over it. It's not like the person's sharing or pirating it.
Also holy crap, you people are arguing with some pretty EXTREME points. Bank robbery? Illegal? Suicide hotline? Really, now?
Finding Nintendo to be "generous" in this case is really, really naive.
You keep saying trademark this, trademark that with no actual back up evidence (unless I skimmed through it) that validate those claims, just throwing it left and right like some sort of fancy buzzword that you just learned yesterday.
I get some people here are trying to defend the creators of the game from having their content "stolen", but you're ultimately coming from the wrong direction. The game has been paid for already (by the LPer) and people watching it doesn't equal to people not buying the game. In fact, it's QUITE the opposite. I suggest you all search for the effects that an LP of the game "Dangan Ronpa" had, please.
Edit: I'm too angry to format this post, fuck it
Edit2: Did people really invalidate e-sports by comparing it to real life sports? -really- I guess chess couldn't be considered a legitimate sport by these terms anymore
