But if all you are doing is uploading long videos of games, movies, etc. then you are breaking the law. |
In some sense, you are still missing some elements of a game with an LP, unlike posted music. The gameplay is still an important element, otherwise you're not getting the "full experience" of the game.
Besides, what about LPers who provide other things during the gameplay, like some comedy or anecdotes? Is this any different from A show that plays music in the background of their news story?
