hey im watchin gone of those streams in the thumbnail

right now

that must be super recent

I can't believe you are watching volorant max

ikr

as someone who is blind in one eye i can safely say the term 'blind' has never offended me

it's impossible to not offend people

Good point Karp

It actually is "legal" for them to take down videos, dmca music clips, and the like

It's just stupid that it works this way

The issue is the law

fair use has to be transformative in some way, and with how little personality some let's players have it could hardly be called that

"Fair use" isn't as airtight a defense as people seem to think

i'm pretty sure atm devs are free to control however their stuff is broadcasted/performed

also u can tell people that are blind aren't the ones even getting offended bc how would they even see the tag

it is probably 14 year old white girls that have a savior complex

well they could be half-blind people like me who can still see in one eye

More than rusp has

half blind people are fake blind

how u only gonna go half way

no if you're half-blind you can selectively identify as either able or blind depending on which is optimal for a given context

whatever u say faker

any caselaw I have seen out of the US (which admittedly is limited) leans towards letsplays being transformative

hell, I'd say it leans towards silent gameplay videos being transformative

All let's play content can be yanked off by the creators from what I understand, they just usually let it stay because it's good for their brand

except for nintendo

who doesn't care

and actively hurts their brand at every chance

what companies do and what they should legally be allowed to do are not the same

Because nintendo is too big to fail

nintendo has all the cards

there is not a single game company that could replace nintendo

it has its niche covered

microsoft and sony are interchangable

It's not like children buying their games will understand unethical copyright claims

but for games i thought it was, atm legally, that technically all broadcasts without a license/permission are illegal and just "permitted"

or is that not correct

There is no law that says that as far as I know

probably shit like that in eula's though

they throw whatever the fuck they want in there in the off chance it works

it would be pretty big if someone went to court over streaming/videos and won

but wouldn't it also be pretty bad if they did that and lost?

Again, I mentioned it earlier, sargon did go to court over this

not gaming though

he was sued because he uploaded a video that contained 2 clips from some black womans coverage of some protest

without comentary

judge ruled in favor of it being transformative

if that passes for transformative, I 100% believe an interactive experience would pass

copyright shit's a pain in the ass

it is and it should be done away with

the worst is when people defend it from the perspective of money-algorithms even though they're actually people

like sure there are reasons why it's "needed" but why should you care as just some random guy

I could maybe understand the limited 5 years after creation copyright that it originally was

this 100 years past death of creator thing is retarded

disney will keep extending that forever

yeah

so they can keep their shit

yeah it goes against the whole foundation of how art and creation actually works

disney literally needs to be forced to put mickey in the public domain

for the good of society

would be the day

Kill the mouse

maybe if every person on the planet publishes mickey mouse gore porn on the same day

they'll have no way to answer

disney needs to be broken up for the stranglehold they have on animated movies

and animation in the west in general

disney, google, basically every major company

if you own more then 0.1% of things in existence, you need to sell some of it off

apply that to money to

and u got me onboard

okay commie

anti monopoly capitalism seems ideal

the world might just be on autoplay at this point

as a function of random trends

like the waves of the seven seas

So what you're saying is break up all small corporations and give the satanic mega corps absolute liberty

What I am saying is drag literally every ceo of google, disney, etc onto the street, and execute them

and force their kids to eat the bodies

or walk the plank
