"This is the final Nintendo Angry Rant and the Final Nintendo Video on this channel. Tired of these guys claiming our videos as their own. While other companies are understanding how valuable the youtube gaming community is, Nintendo only see's free labor and dollar signs.

Because of that attitude, I wont be covering Mario Kart, Mario Party, Zelda, Star Fox, Metroid and whatever 17th version of the same game Nintendo wants people to talk about on youtube until they pull their heads out of their asses and stop claiming videos."

This is pure trolling, populism and clickbait. Unsuscribed forever.

This is the guy that made his fans buy him a WiiU, because he doesnt have enough money with 2 millions subs on his channel. And yet he hasn´t review any of its games. Because is too much for him share a pice of the revenue of 2 videos per year to make happy the few Nintendo fans on his channel, specially the ones that paid him a WiiU. Instead he make videos feeding the haters to earn audience. Awesome.

Dude, Nintendo's copyright policies are 100% wrong, even illegal.  They have claimed reviews, they have claimed news stories.  Those are the textbook definitions of fair use and if any of these YouTubers had the money to do so, they could kick Nintendo's butt all over open court.  

 

As for sharing "a bit" of revenue, unless you sign up to the creators program it's all the revenue.  And if you do sign up, they take 40%.  That's on top of the 40% YouTube takes.  And ad revenue is at a low right now so what Nintendo is doing is mental.

Also, Joe gave Nintendo props some time before he got a Wii U.  


you're mistaken

legally speaking when someone has a copyright on an entertainment property they are fully capable of giving permission or not giving permission of its use. movies and TV shows constantly being uploaded unlawfully to Youtube are taken down swiftly, just like potentially what is happening now with Nintendo's games in videos

you can debate certain articles, but a review containing video of the actual game is not lawful (if Nintendo chooses to press the issue) because it contains material which a user much PAY to access that is being freely shared with the public. you can't do that. just like downloading music or sharing music isn't really legal online (despite people sneaking around and doing it anyway)

 

you are way out of grasp with the meaning and extent of the copyright control that Nintendo has over its IP's. its not a debatable matter., try sueing Warner Bros. next time you post a review of "Batman Begins" with a bunch of movie clips in there when they take down your video. news flash: you would handedly lose the case, in fact it probably wouldn't even be brought to court
