Greed Always fukks Up A Good Thing

These People Put Money In Your Pocket By Buying The Game, Are Giving You Free Promotion On YouTube, Which Causes Interest For Other People To Buy The Game

Thats Not Enough Though

Im sure they'll be less happy when no one is making videos for their games anymore, friends. :sitdown: Quick cash grabs are always bad for business.

From what I hear about this from Broken Gamez and MWN, they only thing that this ID thing is doing is flagging shyt like official licensed songs and clips. Is it more to it? I heard they were going to look at playthroughs but a lot of guys vids are still up

publishers understand the benefits of allowing people to interact with their content this way. consumption goes hand in hand with collaboration now. you can't really fight it

Yeah there are a lot of videos still up... I think it really affect those who are making money on adsense through video game play throughs. That's why there is so much outrage (Dude's gotta get a real job now :upsetfavre:)

I had posted a video of my sister's wedding dance and got flagged for Copyright ID for the song playing in the background. At first I was like :stopitslime: , but then I saw a note on there saying the video was still viewable and playable. So I thinking the real issue is over who gets the ad money on flagged videos.

Dude's gotta get real jobs now? What's a "real job" then? they do something they like and figured out how to get paid doing it. sounds like more of a real job than clocking in for a company doing something you hate just because you get paid to do it.

this is just proof of how absurd this whole thing has gotten

guy uploads footage of his own game he's making and gets a content ID match on it

I didnt mean it the way it sounds. I agree it's ridiculous.... I posted my sister's and her husbands first dance as husband and wife and got flagged for the song playing in the background. How is that not fair use? I see your point.

I agree that the content ID thing has gotten out of hand but the forced outrage over youtube putting an end to profiting off someone elses product is quite comical...I can understand someone who has gotten permission from the publisher to review their work being annoyed with this but the majority of these dudes have been making bread off of other peoples work without permission...You do not own the games you buy, you own disc, not the content on it...You do not have the right to stream full playthroughs of that content and receive any ad revenue...That's like posting a full length movie with your commentary and expecting to not be sued...
