| elektranine said: I funny how most users here know nothing about the law or what fair use constitutes. What he did was illegal and not covered by far use. You cannot make a video of a copyright work in any way and just claim it as 'fair use'. Fair use only applies when the entire video is critic or satire based. Even when something is legitimate fair use that goes away completely when the copyright work is harmed in any way. Why do you think any lets play video can be claimed by the ip holder. Enough with the armchair lawyers. |
Neither do you apparently.
a fair use is any copying of copyrighted material done for a limited and “transformative” purpose - See more at: http://fairuse.stanford.edu/overview/fair-use/what-is-fair-use/#sthash.IU88F0as.dpuf
If you are commenting upon or critiquing a copyrighted work — for instance, writing a book review — fair use principles allow you to reproduce some of the work to achieve your purposes
Copyright Claims(Temporary) do not equal Copyright Takedowns(Permanent), the takedown is when said claim is succesful because of a violated copyright.
Playing a videogame alone is transformative, commenting/critiquing it is clear fair use.
