Why are songs and movies copyrighted but you can upload a full playthrough of a video game on YouTube?
In: 612
Copyright law is generally based on whether or not people can use the thing being shared as a substitute. The video game is still copyrighted, but since watching someone else play it isn’t the same as playing it yourself, it’s not the same.
I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice, but it’s a summary of how things generally work.
