Topic	Phil Spencer wants to buy Nintendo
Revelation34 09/20/23 12:32:06 PM #44:	darkknight109 posted... The problem is Nintendo is based in Japan and Japan does not have a Fair Use exemption in their copyright laws. Hence, Nintendo's claims are valid under Japanese law. So Youtube has a choice - they can either enforce the claim for Japan only (i.e. block the videos in regions where Nintendo's claims can be enforced) or they can make life easy for themselves and just accept Nintendo's claims. Youtube being Youtube, it's not particularly surprising that they did the latter. Youtube is an American company therefore a Japanese company has to abide by American law if they want to operate in America. --- Gamertag: Kegfarms, BF code: 2033480226, Treasure Cruise code 318,374,355, Steam: Kegfarms, Switch: SW-1900-5502-7912 <cite>Revelation34 posted [p:976193654] in Phil Spenc...
