Video reviews should be gone, unless they pay a percentage of the money they get from advertisement on the page that feature such reviews. I can't wait for Sony, Microsoft, EA and all the rest grow so balls and stop reviwers from using their content to make money. In game pics also should be banned if their produce money for the website where they are hosted like vgchartz, unless of course they are pics produced by the game developers and given to the public. |
Please tell me you are joking. Seriously, please. That is fair use and is the single most crucial aspect of it, to maintain a wall of separation between companies and the groups reviewing them. Any critic should be able to use appropriate samples from the created content to criticize it. This is crucial to the health of creative media and to consumers. When companies can bully the media through restricting revenue or resources, something is very, very wrong.
