1. This definitely isn't perjury or outright illegal, right? Just because they gave permission on their website doesn't mean that it's a legally binding statement or contract, right? Sean Vanaman even made the point that "well technically all Let's Play's are infringement, it's just a question of how much a developer or publisher lets it slide or supports it". Which I know to be more or less true, since developers have handled this stuff in many different ways, from blanket allowances, to contract deals, to just not allowing monetization at all.

It is legally binding actually. The way it works is if you place copyright rules on your site, and a reasonable person has access to them, they override whatever the "standard" rules for copyright are (assuming your rules are reasonable in turn).

2. Is this a "proper" use of the DMCA? Some people with slightly cooler heads have suggested sending a cease-and-desist rather than using a DMCA takedown.

Hell no, and actually PDP has grounds for a countersuit from what I understand. Using DMCA for this was a BAD idea, especially since PDP didn't do it on a stream of their game. They honestly hosed up and a c&d might have been a better choice (though legally dubious)

3. Even if it is fair use (which if I understand correctly, would have to be proven by PDP in court), does Campo Santo have any legal recourse to say "we don't want our game associated with this person even in a tertiary way because of their abhorrent world views"?

That I don't know, sadly.

the whole thing is super long but the XJ9 / destiny chat is genuinely fascinating.

iirc, xj9's girlfriend played a character he didn't like in league of legends, so in his opinion he was 100% in the right to post her nudes online and do all this other horrendous poo poo. he couldn't understand at all why it was wrong to do.

v difficult listen but i found it really interesting to try to understand this dude's scary sociopathic thought process.

:stonk:

This is good thread content. Well done my dude. Like I was only gonna go for a few parts but every subsequent video managed to take it to the next level.
