But have they hurt?

Well the Wii period was followed by the Wii U period.  Is there a connection?  No way to know.  It certainly didn't help.  And if you can confirm neither, than is it worth the considerable legal exposure?  I mean, if Nintendo wants to be a hardass and be super strict with copyright control, I accept that.  That's not what they are doing.  They are using Content ID to circumvent the legitimate legal channels by which they *should* be handling copyright control.  This use of the system could easily lead to a lawsuit against Nintendo if they piss off the wrong guy and they would have little defense if it's a case like the ones with the Cooptional Podcast.

If a lawsuit occurs then so be it. Nothing wrong with giving a multi-billion dollar company a boot up its ass from time to time.

So if this is gaining them nothing of note, why take that risk?

Because it can make them money.
