Kind of wish Nintendo would take its head out of its ass and bring back trainer customization.

They did.

Last I heard Nintendo said it was Kalos exclusive.

That's not me being mean or condescending or anything negative when I say that.

I say that because I've seen things like "I'm really good at making sandwiches and I do it all the time at home" on applications before.

A way to " hedge your bets" so to speak would be to list any volunteer work you've done.
if i had any

i'm helping my dad build a house this summer, though, so there's that

That'll actually be good to put on there provided you spruce it up to look better than "I helped my dad".

Also to add onto inglorious there is a lot of competition for the piss easy zero education required jobs out there. Applying for those is going to be like playing the lottery if you don't have any prior work experience.

A way to " hedge your bets" so to speak would be to list any volunteer work you've done. That shows that you aren't a complete zero when it comes to working a job.

Basically this.  Seven is pretty paltry. You should be filing multiple ones a week if you don't already have a job and want one.
that's the thing, though

i don't want a job

i'm societally obligated to get a job, so i'm not going to be filing them as if i enjoy doing it

Very few people enjoy working outside of whatever it is they really want to do for a living.

You could think of it a different way though. If you want to continue to live the way you currently are or improve your current standing you're going to have to pay your dues. Same goes for anything else you may want to obtain. Very rarely are people ever handed a comfortable life and all the things they may want on a silver platter.

Here's an earlier piece on her stealing other peoples let's plays, also some bonus stuff about her using other peoples artwork to promote herself without the artists permission.

I'll have to see if u can dig up the social media compilation for the other stuff. Not really interested on doing that on a phone.

Let's plays are also generally considered to be fair use due to the interactive nature of the medium and the commentary from the personalities that make them.

Cod gets brought up with every shooter. It's not just battlefield or Halo and trying to frame it as such is rather silly.

The same thing happened when Halo was Captain King. Everyone was always comparing it to everything.

I'm not sure why people are bringing  up copyright when it isn't even relevant.

The terms of service specifically mention that you are not allowed to use another users video without their permission and that's all that really matters. Copyright doesn't even play into it.

Only not at all. If someone has uploaded footage of themselves playing a game that isn't stolen content. If someone is giving a talk on the industry or offering their opinions on the industry they are not stealing content. Reviews are also not stolen content. Using other people gameplay or videos with their authorization isn't stolen content.  Using a third party tool to rip videos from youtube (something that is against the ToS) and then reuploading them inter the pretense that they were made by you is.
by this logic, anita hasn't stolen anything

you're really stretching here, LC

I hate to use a camnatorism but you've seriously gone incoherent at this point.

It feels like you're disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing right now. Taking someone else's video and claiming it as your own is content theft, there's not really any way around it.

Back in the early days of YouTube this was true. However these day the number one sector of the site is gaming. Let's Plays, competitive matches, industry talks, reviews, previews, editorials et cetera are what make up the lions share of profit now.
...all of which contain stolen content, by your definition

The defense of "well other people break the rules all the time" doesn't fly because those people should be getting suspended too, it's just impractical to catch everyone due to how absolutely massive youtube is.
it's also the #1 reason anyone uses youtube in the first place

they use it to watch stolen content--period

if they were to delete all copyrighted content off of youtube, guess how many people would use youtube

so not only would it be "impractical," it would be fucking retarded

Only upload videos that you made or that you're authorized to use. This means don't upload videos you didn't make, or use content in your videos that someone else owns the copyright to, such as music tracks, snippets of copyrighted programs, or videos made by other users, without necessary authorizations.

Clips from other videos are neither music tracks, snippets of copyrighted programs, nor videos made by others. They aren't even really clips of videos made by others, since that person doesn't retain any rights to those clips. There are tons of videos out there that use clips of other peoples' original content as well, such as reaction videos or videos about YouTube drama; the terms of use clearly prohibit uploading someone else's video, but not the use of someone's clips in a different, original video.

It doesn't really matter whether or not if lets players "retain rights" to their clips or not because youtube's ToS clearly states that you are not allowed to use another users videos without authorization from that user. A video and clip can also be the same thing as a clip is just a short slice of a film or broadcast and a video is just a recording or broadcast of moving images and when taking YouTubes past actions into account it's clear that YouTube considers them to be synonymous as well. The defense of "well other people break the rules all the time" doesn't fly because those people should be getting suspended too, it's just impractical to catch everyone due to how absolutely massive youtube is.

Really though, Anita should either just ask these lets players for permission to use their videos or you know, actually use the money she was paid to actually play those video games and record her own footage.

Shame she's back up because of her notoriety. If a smaller channel had been banned for stealing other peoples work and claiming it as their own they'd never have won their appeal.

Can someone actually talk about whether using others' clips is stealing? Content creators do not retain any rights to their clips as far as I'm aware, because all of that falls under whoever owns that intellectual property; in this case, it's the game's publisher. Content creators own the rights to their commentary and subsequent video, but I don't see how they could argue she stole their work unless she's copying other peoples' videos or arguments (which doesn't appear to be the case). And beyond that, if she's just using standalone clips, that would also fall under fair use because it's transformative and journalistic.

Interesting thought from Forbes. These next couple of years could be really tough on COD due to Activisions inability to realize that the market is saturated with modern/near future/future shooters and people are tired of them because of the way they set up their yearly releases. All of their COD studios are knee deep in their future shooters and it's too late for them to overhaul and play catch up to DICE now.

It'll be interesting to see what the future holds for that franchise.
