What happens when a video game studio attempts to take down TotalBiscuit, a popular video game critic's, Youtube video? The Internet takes up arms against the studio, of course.
According to The Daily Dot, Wild Games Studio, creator of Day One: Garry's Incident, claimed that the reason why they filed to take down TotalBiscuit's video was because "Total Biscuit has no right to make advertising revenues with our license."
I don't know about you, but this sounds like crap! Fair Use, anyone? Section 17 U.S.C. 107, contains a list of various purposes for which the reproduction of a particular work may be considered fair, such as CRITICISM, COMMENT, news reporting...." TotalBiscuit's video would probably be classified as criticism, and even may fall into the comment category.
According to Kotaku, Wild Games, has since, withdrawn its complaint from Youtube.
Here is TotalBiscuit's original video:
