can anyone tell me what does this all mean? like whats going to happen for people like pewdiepie(cant stand him) and others that do gameplay with commentaries are they not going to be able to do it anymore? what happens to all the old copyrighted footage?

           Yes. It means that people who use gameplay footage or music aren't going to be able to make money  off their videos... Classic Game Room  is moving to his website, Angry Joe is not very happy about this, ProJared already has a bunch of Pokemon videos claimed..... A clusterfuck.

Now, i'm pretty in favor of internet freedom, but i fail to see the issue here. What looks like the problem is that people expect to make money off of this. Google is allowing these videos to continue to exist, which is what should happen, but you can't really be using other people's IPs to make money for yourself in such a blatant way (although neither should the money go to the owners if the videos are running under fair use, then it's free money for the owner for something somebody else did)

What it should be is that the majority of Youtube videos shouldn't yield money to their makers at all. Partner-producers (for, like, exclusive YT series or something) should make money off Youtube, but it should be a hobby for most, and mere practice for those who seriously do want to pursue a career in videography
