So if a YouTuber does a review and gets a claim and has the means to drag the big N to court, please do. They need to learn their lesson and if the burnt hand is the only form of education they understand, so be it. |
oh come off it, Nintendo is in the legal right. if you're going to use Nintendo's intellectual property to make yourself money then legally you do owe them something from it or at least need their permission
most of these large Youtube reviewers who are upset are big money makers from the site. I GET Nintendo's perspective. not saying I agree with it, but sueing them would just be a waste of your money as you would lose and end up paying for both YOUR legal fees and theirs. its intellectual property and unfortunately when you buy a game you're buying the right to play it, not to broadcast it online and receive revenue for showing others the game
I think its somewhat annoying, Nintendo's stance on this, and I think freely letting people promote and talk about and show their games online would HELP rather than hinder. but in the end it is up to Nintendo.
I'm on their side since it is their right. I would prefer if it wasn't the case but I think its absurd to act as if anyone should be able to take any content from a video game and do whatever they want with it, especially for profit. Nintendo spends who knows how much making sure all of their games and contect are copyrighted and protected in the first place so we can't be too surprised in how they're acting. they have FAR more IPS than other brand in gaming and are an old fashioned company (which isn't such a terrible thing)
