So basically many of you believe in unfettered free speech so long as you don't disagree with what the person is saying. When they say something you find disagreeable, then it's bring out the loopholes and point of view statements.

There are hundreds if not thousands of YouTube channels that game play footage on them. Many copy footage from other channels. They aren't being banned. Fair use is fair use. So long as they don't try to profit from it or claim it as original, then it's usable. She did neither.
I would like to see those people banned as well. Nobody should get away with breaking rules.

I don't disagree with her general sentiments at all, just a few examples that she cites to support them (mostly because of them being taken out of context, IE Hitman).

Except it's not breaking any rules. It's the EXACT same thing as writing a paper. You CITE a source backing up your thesis. Don't pass it off as original content. You also can't take someone else's work and sell it as your own. She cited the work and she didn't try to sell it.

So this is all a moot topic

Literally no one here has a problem with how she conducts her opinions. Our contention lies with the fact that she has been dishonestly plagiarizing content from other users without crediting them for several years now. The free speech strawman doesn't stick seeing as how no one here is really positing that notion.

And those should be penalised as well. Hundreds of small channels get nuked daily for less serious offences. No one seriously believes her channel should be suspended for her views or her character, just that she should be crediting the sources like any intellectually honest person should be doing.

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.

Someone made the comment, I think it was Verb that Youtube is pretty much stolen content, and that if we took down Anita's videos we have to take down almost everything in the gaming sector for Youtube.

Even under the most broad definition of stolen for videos, content creators can make videos just as they are now without it being classified as stealing. Remember that this all boils down to the original creators consent. So I'm guessing the logic being used is that since Video Games are copyrighted material, we can't show gameplay of it without permission? Square Enix endorses Mr. Happy's channel because they basically use him as advertising for FFXIV and he makes money off the channel, is that stealing? Square Enix wants him to keep making content, so the answer is a big fat "No".

Anita however, has no endorsement from the original creators and apparently she doesn't need to because it's "her" gameplay. Also, Youtube is owned by a multibillion dollar corporation, I doubt they would allow something like thousands of Let's Play videos be uploaded with the videos being "stolen" to the original creators.

i disagree with her toxic feminazi ideology, so that justifies banning her channel under faulty grounds

The possibility of her videos somehow containing other people's work and she is profiting off of it without their consent is "faulty grounds" and has to do with a conflicting ideology?

Where has she done this? Where has she uploaded somebody's video and called it her own? Where has she taken a clip of someone's video and called it her own? Don't say that it's somehow implied, because as I've made abundantly clear she has no obligation to credit anybody when using their clips. I'm asking for just a single instance where she has explicitly said of any clip, something along the lines of, "we recorded this clip ourselves in-game".

The possibility of her videos somehow containing other people's work and she is profiting off of it without their consent is "faulty grounds" and has to do with a conflicting ideology?
It really is frustrating that so many people on here are speaking authoritatively about fair use without the slightest understanding of what it means.

Here's a list of people that ought to do a quick bit of Googling before responding further:
-Ian
-LC
-Mordo
-Prime

Pretty much. As has been stated, YouTube is, by and large, comprised almost entirely of stolen content.

The ONLY REASON people are up and arms about it NOW is because someone that they don't like uploaded it.

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.

Please cite any instance where she has uploaded another user's video at all, let alone while claiming it as her own.

I've already thoroughly covered why using clips is distinctly different from a video, and that YouTube clearly allows the use of others' clips in the same fair use capacity.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
One of myriad examples: Music Video Sins. He uploads videos that he presumably took directly from YouTube, and without comment of the channel that originally uploaded it, uses it in a satirical, fair use role.
The only channel he could have taken it from (which wouldn't have been illegally hosting it in the first place) is Taylor's Swift's Vevo account, aka person who owns the work. So yes, he has in fact credited the copyright owner.

Quote
Without delving into the depths of fair use law, I can assure you that of the four major principles that decide whether something is eligible for use, "giving credit" isn't one of them.
https://www.teachingcopyright.org/handout/fair-use-faq
(read below)
Quote
Whether a use is fair will depend on the specific facts of the use. Note that attribution has little to do with fair use; unlike plagiarism, copyright infringement (or non-infringement) doesn't depend on whether you give credit to the source from which you copied. Fair use is decided by courts on a case-by-case basis after balancing the four factors listed in section 107 of the Copyright Act.
http://ogc.harvard.edu/pages/copyright-and-fair-use
Quote
Other factors that sometimes weigh in the analysis of the first fair use factor include whether the use in question is a reasonable and customary practice and whether the putative fair user has acted in bad faith or denied credit to the author of the copyrighted work.
She has not given credit to the author of the video. Doesn't disbar her, but doesn't help.
Under the second factor, nature of the work:
Quote
Is the copyrighted material factual in nature or creative?  (More fair use latitude is accorded to factual works.)
Doesn't mean creative works (i.e. music, LPs, movies, etc) can't be used under fair use, but it's not as likely to qualify.
Under the third factor, Amount Copied:
Quote
Is the portion copied the “heart” of the work?  (Even a quantitatively small portion of a work may weigh against fair use if it is the most important or commercially valuable part of it.)
The heart of a Let's Play is viewing that person's playing of a game. By using someone else's let's play, she is taking the heart of the work. This doesn't disqualify her from fair use, but it doesn't help her either.
Under the fourth factor, Effect on the Market:
Quote
Is it difficult or perhaps impossible to locate the copyright holder or are there other significant obstacles to seeking permission?  Is the expense of seeking permission greater than the value of the permission sought?  (Where there is no cost-effective way to obtain permission, that fact will weigh in favor of a finding of fair use, which can be seen in part as a means for remedying market failure.)
There is no reason for her to not seek permission in the first place. To be clear, fair use is a last resort protection, not your first intention. If it is reasonable to do so, one should seek to gain permission to use a work first. According to those that have claimed she used their LPs, this was something they discovered after-the-fact, meaning she never contacted them to attempt to gain permission.
Other factors:
Quote
Is this the first time this instructor has photocopied this excerpt for course use, or has photocopying of the same material been repeated from term to term without permission?  (Repeated use without permission will tend to weigh against fair use.)
Fair use is, again, the last resort and not the first. Repeatedly using a work without permission makes it harder for fair use to be granted.

I really do wish that copyright was more clear-cut as a concept; for this specific case, and for many cases, it can be argued either way whether something can 100% be claimed as fair use. But doing things, such as crediting the source and attempting to get permission first, do very much help the case (neither of which she did.)

Quote
Let's Play videos are typically not protected by fair play because they're not transformative, they're for-profit, and they use a substantial amount of licensed content. Your example is terrible, especially considering how controversial Nintendo's treatment of Let's Play content is.
Tell that to Jim Sterling, who doesn't enable advertisements on his videos (last I checked). His Star Fox Zero video was subject to take-down despite limiting the excerpts from the game to trailer footage (no other channels besides Nintendo itself) and trimming the times. Also to note, it wasn't a Let's Play but a review (meaning he should, in theory, be awarded fair use).

Nintendo's treatment has been controversial, yes, but has been entirely unimpeded. It's a perfectly fine example.

My contention is that the source (the LPer) isn't being cited.

I don't even think the ban should have been permanent. She was banned for a day, right? First offense (as far as I know), so a slap on the wrist is all that's needed. That doesn't mean I think she should continue on in the exact same manner; all I'm saying is that she should pair the youtube channels name at the beginning of the footage like WatchMojo, Machinima, or any other that uses clips from other channels.

Ripped straight from Google.

For example, YouTube cannot grant you the rights to use content that has already been uploaded to the site. If you wish to use someone else’s YouTube video, you may want to reach out to them via our messaging feature.

So there are several things with this quote. If she did reach out and message these users, why is there no validation or proof of this? This would most definitely shut down any opposition to video take down attempts, especially if it's coming from the original creators. There's also no comments afterwards (The page in question can be found here) on what constitutes full work, it's incredibly broad. Has anyone actually asked Google if parts/clips of a Youtube video qualifies as full/legitimate content uploaded to the site?

Once again, this is only under the possibility that the gameplay footage is that of other players with videos uploaded to the site. There is just too much drama surrounding this individual for their to be a legitimate investigation with a result that wont be slandered by either side.

Youtube itself claims there is no "silver bullet" that will defend you in Fair Use, however I can't think of a single game company that wouldn't want you uploading LP of their games since it's basically free advertising for them, hence my example of Mr. Happy being endorsed by Square Enix to continue playing FFXIV.

Should you disclose that FROMsoftware is the owner of the property in some way, whether it be in the description or the video? Yeah.

Should/ought to implies obligation, among other things. I don't see the point in meandering in those words.

The need for a citation for fair use is black and white. It's unnecessary. Fair use, by definition, is the usage of copyrighted content without permission of the copyright owner.

Whether the copyright owner's work is factual or creative is irrelevant; it's the use that matters.
Determining fair use involves meeting the criteria for fair use. Failing this or that, no matter how small, is an argument against. This isn't a single yes or no question like you're implying; meeting fair use means sufficiently meeting the four factors, meaning meeting the larger side of concepts under them. For a similar example, refer to how arguing self defense works in law.
Quote
Permission isn't necessary for fair use
I didn't say it was necessary, I'm saying that attempting to gain permission helps your argument for fair use. Again, fair use isn't just a yes/no question. You have to meet the factors and the concepts they represent.
Quote
Who cares? It doesn't matter.
If you can obtain what is required through less alternative sources which will allow it (and being able to obtain it reasonably, meaning she wouldn't have to scrap for weeks to obtain a single 15 second clip), then fair use can be further put into question.

Quote
It's not alternative; it's incorrect. She doesn't require permission or a citation.
That's clearly why we're having this discussion right now, we disagree. I just don't see why calling me wrong supports you in any way.
Quote

I mean specifically the way you said it. Call it semantic, but there are clearly less insulting ways to get your point across that telling me that I don't know anything about this. I've read your source, and very little differs from what I'm saying at all. The only difference between my source and yours is the bit about citation.

Have you read my source? I specifically made sure that it was from either a government or education source so that I could be sure of the information's authenticity.

It only mentions that if a work isn't transformative, isn't reasonable or customary, or is in bad faith, denial of credit (not lack thereof) may factor into the first facet of fair use. I've already provided a fair use walkthrough for this example.

Rule 3: Giving the Author Credit Doesn't Let You Off the Hook

Some people mistakenly believe that they can use any material as long as they properly give the author credit. Not true. Giving credit and fair use are completely separate concepts. Either you have the right to use another author's material under the fair use rule or you don't. The fact that you attribute the material to the other author doesn't change that.

Can I avoid infringement by crediting the source?

No. Copyright infringement and plagiarism are two different things. Plagiarism is the misappropriation of another's work, passing it off as your own without indicating the source. It is possible to plagiarize a work without infringing the copyright—for example if you take another’s ideas without proper attribution, even though you do not copy the language, or you borrow from a work whose copyright has expired. Conversely, it is possible to infringe without plagiarizing. Properly citing the work you are copying does not avoid liability for infringement.

Note that attribution has little to do with fair use; unlike plagiarism, copyright infringement (or non-infringement) doesn't depend on whether you give credit to the source from which you copied. Fair use is decided by courts on a case-by-case basis after balancing the four factors listed in section 107 of the Copyright Act.

I think I've more than thoroughly addressed this subject so I'm not going to respond to it further. Fair use tautologically rejects the need for any permission from the copyright holder.

why? what would be the point?

i have no qualms whatsoever with doing so, but why exactly should i be obliged to

if i stated somewhere in the videos that i was playing a game that i made, then we'd have a problem
Yeah, that was wrong of me. For one, Turkey's already provided that LPers have basically no right to fair use; honestly, if FROM wished to, I doubt that there's anything you could do to prevent a takedown. The persistence of Let's Play channels rely on the copyright owners either granting sponsorship or not choosing invoke their rights as the copyright holder.

Let me clarify: I do hold that she should be legally obliged to credit the source, but I personally hold that she should morally do so as well.

there, i just added "Dark Souls is owned by FromSoftware." to my videos

not as a legal obligation, but as a courtesy--because that's all it is

because i believe in saying things like "please" and "thank you," as a matter of politeness, but i don't believe people should be arrested or punished if they don't say please and thank you

If you posted this link earlier in the thread, I'm afraid that I didn't see it. My bad.

-snip Plagiarism/Copyright divide-
Alright, I concede that it would pass fair use if only because any detraction left is minuscule enough to pose no difference.

But in raising plagiarism, I do have to ask: is accidental plagiarism not a plausible argument? I can't say whether or not she didn't intentionally create the misconception that she herself recorded the video clips, but not citing the source is a form of plagiarism. If it isn't, in this instance, could you explain why so?
