50 minutes of camera-based rambling. You know the drill, you might learn something new. Equally possible, you may end up dumber as a result of this video.

You are maybe correct, this video has made me dumber... convinced me to give you more money. Tho to be serious, I enjoy very much the insights you share. Thank you !

I hope you don't change your presenting style too much, I love you argueing with yourself as you build stuff. Keep up the good work, I look forward to the arrival of the merch.

You need to head back to factorio sir! :)

Article 13 is a mess. That said, so is Fair Use (and copyright in general :P). If you ask me copyright reforms are going in the wrong direction, YT let's play game play footage IMHO should not be copyrightable by the creators of the game. Note: this is not how the law is, but it is how I feel the law ought to be - you playing a game and commenting is clearly a creative endeavour (which, IMHO changes everything - you're not just blindly copying other people's work) and saying this is copyright infringement IMHO would be the same as claiming a home video that includes you driving a Volvo while reciting home made poetry is copyright Volvo (which it isn't). I personally see no difference between driving that Volvo, playing Stellaris or showing off Monopoly the board game. But then, I am no lawyer! Just because things are digital shouldn't mean we suddenly change the rules. Oh well, I'm just fighting against windmills I suppose ;)

Thanks for your in depth answer, I appreciate it! The one catch with your explanation (note - I am not a lawyer so I could be wrong!) as I understand it is that the rules are not the same between countries. In some countries, notably the USA, fair use can also be claimed if you make use of a copyrighted work and “substantially alter it”. This is tricky, but there are examples where the alterations were deemed to be substantial in court, even though you or I might think they would not count as such. Personally, I’d be in favour of recognising the hard work and creative input of YouTubers/streamers and having that count for something while not removing the rights of the original rights holder either. But I don’t write the laws ;)

You're absolutely right. "Fair use" only exists in the US, however other countries have similar notions. Substantially altering the original item is a massive grey area so I tend to think in a binary fashion: is this something of my creation (or I have the license) or am I infringing? If I opt for the latter it is with my eyes open to the risks associated.

See, back in the day when RSS and ATOM feeds were a thing, I consoldated all of my news reading from multiple sources and industries onto a single platform, Feedly. Feedly evolved out of Google Reader as a way of better viewing aggregated feeds and has now become an entire business entity in its own right which is good but also problematic in the current climate. I am all for ensuring content creators such as news agencies, review sites, games sites and such get the credit and rennumeration they deserve but I don't believe that advertising and clickviews are the way to go. Hence I don't believe Article 13 is the solution but I do agree there is a problem and my use of services like Feedly is actually contributing. The team behind the Brave browser have a good idea around the BAT cryptotoken being used to support content creators but that is going to be a hard sell to the mainstream. I don't know what the solution is but the internet has rapidly evolved from a space to share ideas, news, questionable content of all varieties to a heavily monitised and somewhat controlled environment where despite shedding massive amounts of personal information, everything is revolving around content rights and restricting the flow of data and information in various ways. I had always believed the internet was a Wild West and I have been on it long enough to see it very nearly tamed, I don't know where I am going with this but I guess I am lamenting that we've arrived at this point at all. People and companies staying true to form I guess.
