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.
