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.

You said it all... clips, not the entire thing... please entertain me on the basics of copyright and fair use on presenting 100% of someones property and just having your comments over it.

And also please show how driving the car around is similar to end user as playing VGs, and also why automakers will get money (or pay for advertsment depending on the case) when any tv production shows their car with name or brand/logo if it only show a glimpse of the car...


Well even for games, its not the entire thing.

If you think it is then send me one video where an entire game has been shown. Its always just clips from certain modes, certain characters, certain levels and so on.

Yes there are videos of speedruns which show a game being completed (still not 100%), but they are not the videos taking in money because as I mentioned already, raw gameplay is worthless. Its the extra content youtubers add to gameplay that makes it worth something.

I already told you cars and games are not designed with the purpose of watching/listening, whereas music and movies are. If you are still unable to figure out how that relates to copyright, I cant help you.
