Yeah, they also tend not to disclose whether their job is getting paid by ads/their own means somehow or by the companies whose games they're introducing, nor are the terms of those payments generally clear (i.e. if they're prevented from saying something negative).

LPers really do not have a bloody leg to stand on as far as their footage goes.

Um... yes they do. If you make a work, and somebody else uses your work without permission, they have done something wrong and you have been wronged. The quality of the work, even the integrity of the work, or lack thereof, doesn't change that in the slightest.

Unless those LP'rs have used footage without permission themselves, they do in fact have a valid leg to stand on.

All LPs except officially endorsed reviews use footage without permission.

That's literally what they are.

So stealing someone's fanart and selling it is totally okay because the artist who drew the fanart infringed on the original artwork's copyright. Right.

LP's don't "use" footage, they create footage.

A lot of games explicitly give permission for people to record their own gameplay and monetize the video that they create.

They bought the game. The general thin with LPers and why they don't get videos taken down for copyright is that it serves as free advertising and since they bought the game they own the copy they're using for the LP. Which is what makes it legal and what makes most game companies okay with it.

Also there's lots of LPs for free games, and plenty of developers encourage it. I mean, Markiplier got the Five Nights At Freddy 2 demo before anyone else did because the dev knew it would be a good advertisement.

It doesn't make it legal, it just makes it an unenforced grey zone.
