youtube has wiiU gamepad support?  

now if you will excuse me,.. i'm going to go drive a jaguar.

The Jaguar is protected by patents (as is the gamepad).  Creative works are protected by copyright laws.  They are not the same thing. 

I believe his point was that the experience on YouTube let's plays is fundamentally different from gameplay to an extent that it constitutes a transformative work.  And that's without going into the use of commentary, comedy, critique, editing, etc. that further establish let's play videos in the vein of Joe's as fair use.
