While the act of doing LPs isn't illegal, making money off of someone else's Intellectual Property/Copyrighted Material IS Illegal, hence why I compared it to the extreme example of the Black Market. It's a very passive way of making money off of the IPs (ads), but it STILL is making money off of them.
And you kinda ignored the rest of my post either. It seems like we're going in circles in this.
If you're so concerned, you could easily take this matter to court. Every LPer who's dissatisfied with this can easily do so. But the legal fees will more than likely outweigh whatever the ads are worth. In addition, they'd probably get the monetization of, or even higher, LPs outlawed altogether, which would definitely make it easier on Youtube's end...
