I hope that's sarcasm.

I love it how people only talk about crappy LP:ers such as PewDiePie and totally ignore reviewers and critics who do their living with this. "You can't make money off other people's work"? So you say people need to have original stuff to make money? Guess I'll have to make my own music, camera and software!

And people actually defend this.

Agreed... I read the newspapers pretty much everyday and watch stuff the Young Turks. Man, those journalist shouldn't make a dime.. All they were doing is reporting on something, its not their right to make profit on reporting the news. Siskel and Ebert (rest their souls) are considered the stalwarts of the review profession, they both made livings for several years commenting on peoples work. And the examples go on and on.

You're a fool. If they say you can't, you can't. That's the end of that. Don't even let me explain the difference between FFXIV:ARR & Sony Vegas Pro, or Photoshop.

And this is why I roll my eyes on the topic of copyrights.

The point of copyrights is to prevent you from grabbing something like Xenogears (assets, music, game engine) and pass it off as your own. At some point copyright laws turned into "if I say so you can't do it", which is little different from a child being petulant and bratty about not letting anyone see their toy; sadly, common sense and context never does fit into legalese.

That's how we ended up with stuff like the Chrono Resurrection mess, where a bunch of guys decided to make a 3-d version of Chrono Trigger for free (no costs for the project, art assets were entirely made by the dude they got to do the 3-d modeling, music was all recomposed and re-instrumented in some cases) only to get a cease and desist from SE, who then proceeded to do NOTHING with the Chrono series (and still have not, by the way) outside of a DS port with an even more contrived attempt to link it to Chrono Cross.

Does anyone of you actually live in the reality?
If you want to use a Product of someone else you need to get permission. You will have to get a license to do so.

But that Youtube folks that are whining are all leeches that want to profit of someone else work.

[TonyUK]

YouTube users shouldn't be allowed to profit through other peoples work. If it's their only income I suggest they get a real job

[Sebastien]

Can someone explain to me exactly how the youtube partners program works, and why it is considered "monetization" of S-E's intellectual property?

On the surface, this seems like a stifling policy. But I would like to understand it a bit better.

[Jeronas]

I already said it in the other same topic!

The OP is an idiot, just like everyone else agreeing With him!

Every major Publisher has a Materials License (IP property) in Place!

Go try upload videos from any high profile (AAA) game from Microsoft, EA, Activision, Warner Bros, Sony or Nintendo in a PAID subscriber channel and you will be infringing the IP and Copyright Laws of said game!
