Hello,
Can some one that knows copyright law please tell me answer to my question:
I want to start a youtube channel were I basically review games and play games and provide commentary while I do so.
Surely I don't have to get permission to use game footage from every single software company for every single different game I am going to play and upload do I?
I asked 2 friends and one said: You are alright because it's fair use? I'm not sure what that is... I asked another friend and they said no because its copyrighted, but then I don't understand how are all these other people, including big name people doing it on youtube? Also the other big sites like Twitch where the entire site is based around people streaming games?
