Wait a minute. Are you implying that these guys should only make video (content) that they can profit off of.....hmmmm.

What if Nintendo took their let's plays and dub over them/editted them. Should they get profit from those videos or nah?

They have no right to dub over them or edit them because that would be the analogy of "reverse engineering" (altering the content of) the game. Which is illegal in the first place.

Gamer's are playing the games as intended.

The problem is that youtube/google should have made a policy from the get go that outlines and protects content, but I think they were afraid.

 

You reallly should look into that. Some mean spirited fella might even call you ingorant.

ps. not me  !

 

If the hypothetical video falls under fair use they could totally do it. Obviously, it is a ton of hyperbole behind this situation, I am just pointing out how easily it could be turned on its head. 

 

I would tell that mean spirited person to enlighten me. Obviously they are following fair use law which is admittedly vague and malleable, however, they don't seem to have made any headway on their own site to minimize this issue for content creators and they clearly are still getting their cut.
