So as some of you may or may not know. There is this YouTuber whom is angry (pun intended) with Nintendo's policies on copyright. Long story short he posted a video of Nintendo gameplay and they took it down. I know shocker right. I would just like to see others opinions. That's it! Below Is just my personal thought process when hearing and reading about it.

Thoughts on the issue
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is this any different than record labels taking down lyric videos on YouTube? The issue itself looks pretty identical. The people are putting up the videos to spread word of the song and or band they posted and claim revenue off of the work they put into the making of the video.
If the above is a similar situation then why is no one rioting outside record labels? Maybe its just a general and commonly accepted thing that happens on YouTube.
Is this a publicity stunt by Joe to gain views? These videos seem to be some of the most highly viewed on his channel.
Did he genuinely not know if Nintendo's policies even after having this happen to him before? This is unlikely since it is a well known fact, but could still possibly be true.
Is Nintendo just waiting for people to make videos to claim them? Although this would make up such a small percentile of their revenue, it is still income.
Does Nintendo have zero tolerance as a means to distinguish the line between what is copyright. With everything using their intellectual property being copyright there is no "grey area" and the standards are in black and white for all to know.
Legally who is in the right? Nintendo of course is in the right with it being legally their intellectual property that is being used as a means to gain profit.
Ethically who is in the right? I have only seen a couple of Joe's videos and it seems like the guy needs to eat like the rest of us and this is his job.
Why do other companies (Microsoft and Sony) not have this policy? From a business standpoint it's ill advised to let other people use your companies property without restricting it. Although, it is advertizing the game itself, which could bring in potential buyers. Conversely, some will be content with just watching others play the game and therefore would have no reason to buy the game or the console. This ,however unlikely, could be an issue.

I could go on and on, but man is this whole issue just a clusterfuck or what. Sounds like good old politics to me!
