Will N go after romhack/homebrew LPs?

A lot of people seem to be under the impression that Nintendo's going to remove Let's Play videos from Youtube. They aren't. All that's going to happen is that the ad revenue will be going to Nintendo instead of the Let's Player. I don't see the problem here unless these Let's Players don't have a second option in case something like this happen.

The full right? Do they also have the full right to take negative reviews on commercial game sites offline because they use pictures of the game? They are also making money off of their property.
I think its just google and nintendo making a convenient agreement which only screws over the little guy regardless of the actual legal situation.

No but they are free to remove ads from the media that reviewed the game :V Nintendo is not asking for the removal of the things, just getting the ad revenues.

That actually happened to a magazine, IIRC.

This is the part where I wonder what's worse: Western Style out of touch, or Eastern Out of Touch?
Considering the current economy and that Nintendo is accepting online applications only, mostly for the Seattle area?
An interesting question, but I cannot see through the gunfire, torches, and burning effigies of Reggie Fise-Aime.

What are you talking about, that has nothing to do with what I said.

(Personally the way I see it, once a company hands a game over to GOG unless it was an indy, they're basically saying that's it.)

And I cannot picture Nintendo being able to do Let's Play in a convincing manner, or at least not in a way that comes off as condescending, scripted, or downright inane.

It has everything to do with it. Quoting again:

Nintendo is not taking down the videos (which Sega did, THAT was a dick move)
In your example, Nintendo would not take down the articles, but they would be free to remove ads in the publication/site that ran those reviews. In the case of the LPs, they are just requesting the monetization/ad revenue to be directed TO them.

You do realize that Nintendo hasn't blocked anyone from doing LP videos, right? Anyone can still make a LP of any Nintendo game and post it in Youtube.

I don't understand why people are making a storm out of this. Jesus, Sega recently asked Google to remove every LP related to the Shining Force series, which is far worse than what Nintendo did, and it didn't cause as much nerd rage. Double standards, really.
That seems to be the case.

It is a hilarious amount of drama just because OH GOD THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO GET THEIR AD REVENUE from doing Nintendo LPs. They are not being forbidden, they aren ot getting blocked, they are not getting flagged.

They just won't be able to make money out of it.

It's bad touch either way.

A: Sega didn't ask for other videos of their franchise to be removed.
B: Sega isn't exactly relevant these days, being Nintendo's purse dog does that.
C: Sega has been clearly insane for a while; that sort of move was expected from them.

Nintendo on the other hand, went and rattled the job security of a rather dedicated fandom with absolutely no warning. This was a very unexpected move by the company and its unclear what their motive is.

IP law is very complicated in the US, extremely complicated. I'm not even qualified to really comment on it. However I can tell I actually understand it a lot better than you. You be assuming things bro, doesn't work that way.
An example of where you're absolutely wrong and would know that if you spent 10 seconds thinking it over. There's a lot of case law addressing this even on Wikipedia, by all means, read it.
Because of trademarks, not copyright, calling it "IP" makes it confusing because they're entirely different things with different rules.
Duh, because it's obviously easier to not give a shit and just do it. Seriously, you must be aware of the 10s of 1000s of erroneous DMCA requests that were nevertheless honored.

Eh you know what, you're normally very thoughtful, you appear to be disinclined to do so here despite a wealth of good information being out there for you. Believe whatever you want, fuck it.

What are you talking about? Nintendo hasn't removed ANY videos at all.

Sega is a games company with some of the most valuable IPs in the industry, so yes, it's relevant enough. The fact that they're not a big player in today's market doesn't matter. If Paradox had decided to remove every video related to one of it's franchises it would still be relevant, even though Paradox isn't exactly that big of a company.

How exactly has Sega been insane? Sega is actually one of the most "sane" gaming companies nowadays, especially considering that they don't have money to blow.

The motive is clear: to get at least some revenue from the ads on LP videos which use their IP. Pretty fair.

I would like to think the same, but they are handingthe game to GOG wanting money, we pay for the games, GOG pays the IP owners to sell the game. Who is to say if Nintendo get their way that other publishers wont feel they are entitled to yet more revenue via this *good* idea.
