Thats the grey area though, because the money generated is not solely generated because of their content. Anyone can put up a lets play video, but not anyone can do it and make money off of it.

Ultimately thats what we debating here.

And it isn't generated solely because of the guy talking as he needs the content. So he have to pay a share because of the content. Even the guy complaining says Nintendo is in their right so I don't know why this part would be the discussion.

 

I don't think anyone here have someone making profits based on his hardwork to be able to complain.

 

If I used that guy video and audio and Just re-recorded with my face would I be in the right to collect 100% of the profit I made? I am artistically making faces while using his dub and ninty raw material.

I'd argue that the main reason people watch certain youtubers is because of their personality and not because of the game itself. Thats my opinion on it, im not sure what your viewpoint is...you are kinda just saying im wrong.

Err if you took his audio and his video? That would be pretty dumb since thats the entire video :) That analogy is pretty silly and has no bearing on this.


My instance is that the content and subject is as important as the presenter as he wouldn't have anything to present without games and couldn't make it by himself or with nothing at all. So it is fair Nintendo ask for a share (the amount is debatable).

 

The video is Nintendo IP, the face would be mine and voice would be his. Why is that completely different? He took some hours to play it and you see a problem, but on Nintendo thousand hours you are ok? His voice is equivalent to actors voice over  or soundtrack and since I'm artistically showing facial expreSions of my own that is fair use. So why not comparable.
