Thoughts on Nintendo ID Claims?

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this in the forum.
But what do people think of Nintendo taking revenue from let's players?

The Youtube problem?

Beyond horrendous and quite possibly one of the biggest asshole moves ever made. Up there with EA's Origin and Sega taking down videos about Shining Force 3 even if it mentions the game or the title is in the video.

They are doing that? Thats pretty low.

I'm certainly outraged that many people don't seem to understand the actual situation it's implying with Nintendo taking all the ad revenue from the let's players. Let's players are certainly looked down upon with their efforts of their profession.

I see this topic very simple.

If youtubers are making money from Nintendo' IPs, Nintendo has the right to ask for a part of the revenue. Although they are getting free advertising, it is their content, they developed it and it is fair to ask for the revenue since a 3rd party is getting money from it (theoretically without permission). I mean, the fact that do you own a (private) copy of something does not give you the right to diffuse its content, which is one of the rights the IP's owner has.

If yourtuber are not making money at all, then Nintendo is just being stupidly greedy, since they are getting free advertising.

All Nintendo is doing is getting some short-term money at the cost of more long-term money. They should be smart enough to realize that gamers don't like this sort of thing, and it's a good way to make people avoid buying any (new) products by that company. Although it's entirely possible that they think that since EA isn't crumbling to bits after being extremely awful to anyone who buys their products for so long, why would they?

Or they could make some great Wii Nii games instead of waiting for other companies to make great games so that they won't lose money from the console not selling.

If they feel that way then why haven't they touched popular streaming sites like Twitch?

My biggest problem with this is that it doesn't make sense. They have the right of course, but what does this accomplish for them? Is this punishment because people aren't buying the Wii U? It's reported that they don't need the money so my biggest problem is trying to understand why.
