Popular YT Gamer Done With Nintendo After Copyright Claim

That's exactly why they made the creators program in the first place, if he really thought he'd get away with posting it without going through them, then this was just the obvious outcome. The rules are the rules no matter how popular you are, unless you made some specific deal with them privately.
 
cry me a river. I love Nintendo and ultimately this is bad for them but well withing their rights. All these people p****d off while using IPs that dont belong to them is just funny to me.

Exactly this, Nintendo clearly stated their position it's not like people have no idea about it, they just don't want to comply to it, so whatever happens after that is your own fault.
 
He can do certain Nintendo content on his channel but Nintendo will claim the video, earn the ad revenue, then give him a percentage.

Or, he can have a channel dedicated to Nintendo coverage and earn a higher percentage.

Here is a copy/paste of a previous comment I made on the subject.
.................................................................................................
Nintendo's new program (links below) basically licenses their content for YouTubers to be able to use.

1. If you submit individual videos with Nintendo content, the deal is 60/40.
2. If you connect your whole channel to Nintendo's MCN, you get a better deal, 70/30.
They get 30% of every video you do even if it doesn't contain Nintendo content.

I should note the guide states that "This rate may be changed arbitrarily". I don't know if this means that Nintendo would negotiate a better percentage for larger channels or if it means they can arbitrarily change the agreement unilaterally during the duration of the contract.

How do these terms related to the music industry? What percentage are the rights-holders getting for people doing cover songs? What is the percentage that the artist/YouTuber keeps?

If you know of other licensing agreements from other industries, what are the licensing rights and the revenue share agreements. It could be audio or visual.

Yay, another person who didn't actually watch the content. His video is about how it is a stupid policy, not how they're operating outside of their rights. But you win, with your witty quip.

That said, Joe has been hit before on his review content as well. And a DMCA takedown or ContentID match on review content is actually illegal, but hey, free pass for Nintendo because... reasons. Let's Plays are a legal unknown, at least at the moment on whether they are derivative enough to count as fair use.
