1. Yes well aware of that. I still feel that they are not entitled to any of the revenue.
2. When i say long ago...i mean well before any youtuber was bringing in significant revenue. I can assure that had these youtubers been earning peanuts, Nintendo would not care.
Songs and Movies are different entertainments mediums to games, i think ive exaplined this in my previous post. Also, i know i make this seem like a black and white topic but really theres two sides here...and its a very grey subject. In my opinion though i dont feel its right for gaming publishers to claim revenue from the lets players, but i can understand how others would feel they should.

2. That is exactly the reason why Nintendo and others should do it... have you ever saw any songmaker or record company trying to pass law or hunt down people who sing and perform on street??? Nope... but if you use someones song in a venue then you have to pay... so if you are using the share function a console offer to exchange experience with your friends none will care, but if you are making good money out of it them you should pay..
Are we all comunists in here to think Nintendo and the other companies aren't allowed the money generated by their IPs?

You cant compare it with singing though because you cant commentate and have the song playing at the same time.
Secondly, music is created with the purpose of the end consumer 'listening' to it, whereas the purpose of video games is to be played.
A fairer comparison would be cars. Every youtuber who reviews their car doesnt pay the manufacturer because they only money they are entitled to is the money they get when they sold the car. Yes the manufacturer may not consider it a large amount to bother, but if they did, they still wouldnt have a chance at getting that money because the video is not their 'content', even though their car is in the video.
Try uploading raw gameplay, youtube wont give you a dime for it because nintendo's raw gameplay is worth nothing. Youtubers get paid ad revenue for original content like commentaries, how to's and other stuff.

So now car market is closer to videogame than movies??? That is certainly new for me.
You don't buy a license to use the car, you buy the car. But even so if you use a brand of cars to promote yourself you'll have to pay if the brand onwer demands it. Any movie that have a car on it if they desire to show the name, or brand of it.
Well let's see how good they can do without the games and just their comments on any other subject, shall we?

Thats because if you fail at reading, you will fail at understanding.
I wasnt comparing the markets, I was comparing the nature in which the products are used by the end consumer. There is a greater purpose to a car and video games then watching/listening to the end consumer but for music/movies, theres is not... because thats ALL there is.
As I mentioned, its not possible to commentate over music, but for movies, plenty of youtubers are showing the best clips from movies and commentating over it. They are not paying anything to the publishers of those movies, since the content overall is unique.
You cant go around acting smart when you dont even understand the basics of copyright and cant even identify what counts as fair use.
