Really worried about YouTube's copyright claims. I could get banned for doing Let's Plays. I personally think this is all stupid, but that's only my opinion. This could get really dangerous for Vizzed and David Aumpamach(Did I spell that right?)'s channels getting taken down because of copy right issues.

What's your opinion on this?

Well, I personally hate it. I hate that they didn't send out ANYTHING about this, gave us NO information on it, and now we're supposed to deal with it all of a sudden. The fact that they didn't even tell us outright how it would work ALSO irks me.
Yes some people are going a little bit over the top with their reactions over this stuff, but it doesn't change the fact that this an automated system. Automated systems are machines, a bunch of code, THEREFORE they have no judgement on anything that gets near the legal line. They don't even contact the companies that are supposedly claiming all the videos. The system is doing it for them...

I just really hope this thing can get improved to a MANUAL system at some point. (sorry for the rant, but this is something that's just been causing me a bit of worry lately, which is odd since I don't even make money off my videos :/ )

I say, yeah, go for it.

A lot of the panic going around right now is a result of misinformation.

When you are doing an LP, and you get a content ID claim, and you go to handle it, all you have to do is cite fair use.

If they don't bugger off, and follow the law, then there could be a problem.

If they challenge your claim, then I would recommend taking the videos down, because you don't have a lawyer.

Anyway, I would advise switching your LPs over to Twitch or a similar site. Less issues, more fun, easier access.

Alright, thanks for the replies! I think I'll continue doing Let's Play's, but if I get a claim I'll Twitch or something.


I also have to remind myself to learn how to livestream on Twitch.

Thank you all for your replies!

You should go for it, in my opinion, Let’s Plays are one of the reasons Youtube is so popular because so many people watch them.

I do believe you should definitely continue creating let's play videos of Youtube. I mean, the only reason Youtube is extremely active nowadays is actually because of these types of video, similar to what zanderlex had mentioned. Also, why would Youtube warn you for creating let's play videos. I mean, if you are recording videos from the Retro Game Room, what are you STILL doing incorrectly? I mean, these video games were actually once mass produced themselves, so why should you get into trouble?

DenzGamer135 : To answer your question, apparently the games are copyrighted by the various developers that created them and YouTube has this new thing called "Content ID" that scans new uploaded videos to see if it has copyrighted material.


I will continue let's plays, I just have to think of a game to record.

I know you are afraid of being banned for copyright reasons but the reasons are there for good cause actually. 
Basically they are going to stop people who are making money from gaming videos since they don't own the rights.

All this means is you can not monetize your videos (putting ads on them) unless you can fund the company's yourself or to have a company to do it for you. 

You may think at first this will hard to get to with Machinima and IGN but there is an easier option. There is a company called TGN which will accept anyone who has 1,000 views in total over all of their videos which should be pretty straight forward. There are no other requirements for the basic package which means you can legally have adds on your Let's plays.

Here is a link to the Application...

MechaMento : Thanks for the reply 

YouTube still gives you a copyright claim whether it's a monetized video or not.

I wasn't planning on monetizing my videos anyway.

Thanks for the link, I'll take a look at it.

   You should keep doing them because the Youtube copyright claims should pass by soon. Nobody thinks they fare really.

Do not stop. Keep going for it as long as you make sure to claim in the beginning of all of them that your videos do not intent copyright infringement. Good luck !
