      • TheKappa was mistaken: Nintendo didn’t issue C&Ds or DMCA takedown notices for let’s plays; they merely placed copyright claims on them, which under YouTube’s system meant ad revenue accrued to them instead of let’s players. (Source: Kotaku) They then reversed course and allowed revenue sharing in a 70/30 agreement, but for all videos on a let’s player’s channel, not just Nintendo ones. (Source: Game Rant)
