@gigantrax: extremely short-sighted.

@gigantrax: Check out Daniel Bloodworth from Easy Allies.

@boycie: Cause he uses angry troIIing. Plus his silly dress up stuff. It's all an act. Target his persona. Not all are same, YouTube is very diverse.

@vfighter: I agree he does, it's a joy to watch.

The problem is the law disagrees and finds things like reviewers using footage of games to fall under fair use. The issue here is that this is being contested over Youtube's content flagging system which favours videogame publishers over content creators, rather than in the courts.

If this was being contested in courts Nintendo would lose. They wouldn't even be given the time of day. But because of the way this works (and I don't remember the specifics offhand, but Jimquisition has covered it in the past) content creators can't take Nintendo to court over it unless Nintendo is the one that initiates legal action, giving the content creator something to respond to. And why would Nintendo do that when it opens them up to liability and potential loss?

Let me put it like this: Why is Nintendo not striking out a decisive precedent establishing victory in the courts if it is genuinely in the right? Or any other publisher for that matter? Think about that.

@gigantrax: Thats mad money homie. Just look at the Nintendo ones he has done. Look at all the views. You can smell his butthurt from a mile away.

Thats all he cares about is the money. Nintendo videos are his highest preforming videos.

Joe has a point, but here's the thing. Joe could also do what Doug Walker (TheNostalgiaCritic) does for his movies.

Most of his Movie Reviews have footage of the Movie in them, but they're usually old, probably forgotten, and Flops. For His New Movie Reviews it's different. Usually he will often actually say he and his friends will act out the scenes in question because the movie isn't on DVD/Bluray so there's no way to get the film's scenes on the video, HOWEVER the REAL reason is because of Copyright. Doug and his Channel have gotten NUMEROUS strikes against them to the point that they have been BANNED on Youtube because of it. He and his crew are no strangers to this type of thing, Gamer Youtubers don't know how good they actually have it in comparison.

Angry Joe, while he has a very VALID point, especially with his 1-2 Switch gameplay, could actually do the same thing. If he likes to review Nintendo games, but gets Copyrighted Struck to Hell on his Videos, he should probably get creative to where his Reviews would still get the point across on what is happening in the Game and what he experienced without actually showing off the Game.

Like to be very fair, what Nintendo does on Youtube is stupid, but it's not like you can't give out your thoughts or make a compelling video of their games.

@gigantrax:

I think Cuppers was referring to Breath of the Wild, not the Nintendo Switch.

So he can't stand in front of a green screen earning £10,000 for 5 shouting minutes off the back of an absolute masterpiece that took hundreds of thousands of man hours.

Boo hoo. Get a job ya bum.
