Again, the difference between the active vs passive aspect. A movie is the product itself, a video of the game, isn't the game. That said, there have been studies that show a mild amount of piracy does actually help increase sales.

Only one way to find out. Talk to a lawyer about it.

Funny you mention talking to a lawyer. Just so happens a copyright specialist goes over why you're wrong.

Transformative isn't enough

Does Godwinson do drugs? I find him always so bouncy and energetic. It's like he is on coke in this video. I can't watch his video without getting tired he is wierd. Listening to it, I can't stand Jim Sterling Godwinsin is laying into him now.... that sounded so wrong.

i made it through 10min of that video it was the same ranting , raving, and pure spergatory that jim sterling would do on his own videos. Imitation is the truest form of flattery one would say.
 
Anyone else catch the lipstick on his teeth or was it just me?

Except this also fucking ignores that most developers and publishers actually do give expressed licenses to streamers, which in turn allows them to stream the game legally. Now this can always retroactively be revoked, but it absolutely is currently given.

Not only that - but it's a very common practice for developers/publishers to pay streamers to play the game - in order to essentially demonstrate it to their audience. It's something that's been done for nearly a decade, meaning that developers/publishers have substantial data that investing in streamers gives them access to those audiences - and that they see a substantial return on their investment,

Regardless of Fair Use - streamers have cultivated a very specific advertising demographic and that's incredibly valuable to developers/publishers and they know it and have had a good relationship with streamers for years.

The Stadia team wouldn't know that, as they don't actual make products that people want - just re-releases of tired games and exclusives that no one gives a shit about.

To jump on the autism train. Technically, if devs want streamers to pay them to showcase their games, then it's in their legal right. But it doesn't happen due to game streaming being seen (and very likely being) as an overall beneficial method in creating hype for a game. So the whole argument is a pointless since no sane dev will really risk the bad press and lack of publicity.

You got timestamps where he straight up says that? Don't want to watch an hour long video for something that could probably be described in 2 minutes. And even then, there is the example I put in another post. An artist who straight up just stole others content, did minor changes, and was found to not be infringing on copyright. Even when directly stealing anothers image.

I find the entire video somewhat applicable. I'd recommend all of it.

I thought Jim would be happy about Biden‘s seemingly imminent victory but no he’s still mad for some reason:

Even when they win they're sore losers. Appealing to smug fucks like him, movie bob, and breadtube is one of the worst ideas the DNC ever had. And they tried to brute force Hillary

if trends continue from biden's vice presidency, things are going to get worse and they'll just keep blaming republicans despite living in democrat controlled cities with democrat governors and a democrat president.

I mean didn't he move towards Pittsburgh? Why not Philly? Is it because of the crime rate? That's racist Jim! Didn't you know Philly is heavily black where Pittsburgh is almost entirely white? Fuck...
