RPM copyrights, gaming?

[Ghost OOKami]

I was offered (like many people I am seeing on the forum) a partnership with RPM. Regardless of how bad the contract may be, im just wondering one thing.

Does it give me protection when uploading game footage. I have no interest in money right now, im more interested in protecting my channel from copyright strikes. So do they have gaming copyrights?

For the most part these gaming licenses are all talk and do not exist, gaming footage is protected by fair usage as long as you upload it with commentary and do not include cut scenes.

Yes you would be able to montizie your videos !

what do you mean they don't exist, I see people all the time being partnered uploading all game content WITH cutscenes.

Nope, people say that networks have certain licenses. But you mostly just have to find the permissions yourself.

They don't exist but YouTube seems to look the other way when it's a network. It's sort of like a unspoken rule. It in a way you are protected to a certain degree, just not by gaming licenses.

so if these licenses don't exist how to people get away with making thousands of dollars off gaming videos and not be struck down by copyright issues.

Because they obtain permission, as you should. Partnered or not.

Think of it this way, people getting millions of views will be earning a lot of money but they will also be earning their network and google a lot of money, thats a good enough reason to look the other way in my mind.[DOUBLEPOST=1365111808,1365111778][/DOUBLEPOST]
