Re: Nintendo "Spending A Lot Of Time" Considering YouTube Livestream Monetisation

Fairuse

@NinNin "Basics of Copyright for Content Creators" is the name of the video. It is highly informative and I suggest you watching it.

While you are free to your opinion, it is wrong in this case. Leonard French is indeed "Just an attorney", but his video is him explaining the laws that actually exist in our legal system.

I would greatly appreciate you watching the video to gain a better understanding on this situation.

@NinNin I can understand your confusion on the topic.

Please search for Leonard French, copyright attorney, and the videos he has made explaining how fair use is a legal right that allows people to use a product while making a transformative use of it.

Watching a "let's play" of BotW by Jesse Cox is not the same as watching one by Reggie. Part of the experience is related to the content of the video game, but the major aspect is the reaction and actions of the person using said product.

Fairuse

@Chandlero hey, the reason people have gotten upset with Nintendo is that they are illegally claiming the videos of thousands of creators by abusing the YouTube video claiming process.

Nintendo does not respect the laws governing fair use, and perpetually breaks them. This has been allowed to happen as the people who's videos they claim have not had the financial resources to take Nintendo on in a legal battle. People often brush this off as they don't want to believe their treasured company would do something wrong.

For further knowledge, search for the Leonard French, an attorney, discussing the Creators Programs contract.
