| Nuvendil said: Nintendo's rules are in contradiction to the law though. I have seen news stories get flagged for using clips of Nintendo's games. With their current settings, an Angry Review would definitely get flagged. A producer of a product being sold to the consumer having undue influence on the media produced about their product is anti-consumer. And yes, that includes taking revnue from reviewers, critics, pundits, and journalists as it impedes their ability to do their job. Plus, fair use doctrine clearly states that Nintendo has no right whatsoever to claim commentary, parody, review, etc., either pulling them down or taking a cut of the revenue. All products under those categories are the property of the creators alone; Nintendo has no rights whatsoever. |
Once again, link me to something stating that reviews/news have been taken down through copyright strikes and not Content ID. They aren't the same thing, and things getting falsely taken down through Content ID is due to flaws in Youtube's system which are generally out of Nintendo's grasp. This system automatically scans videos for matches with submitted material, regardless of the origin of that material. These Content ID claims are able to be disputed if they are truly covered under fair use, and in that situation, they will get reinstated (although not always in a timely manner).
These are flaws with Youtube's system, not Nintendo maliciously attacking Youtubers...
Additionally, for every example you find of something getting flagged, you could likely find hundreds that wouldn't get flagged, once again, through some confounding logic within Youtube's own systems. If Nintendo was removing everything, including reviews, that didn't follow their policy, then virtually every review and lets play on youtube would have been removed and that just isn't the case.
