what happened I'm by no means trying to stir up any more of it and

これ以上 事を荒立てようというわけじゃない

ultimately this is my fault I'm the one

結局は俺がやらかしたことだし

responsible and the more time that passes the more and more I realized how wrong I was but a lot of people's

全ての責任は俺にある

outrage or uproar about it was pretty interesting maybe you saw this tweet but it's from Sean Vann -

時間が経つにつれて 俺のしたことが どれだけ間違ってたか より気付かされた

whatever - "We're filing a DMCA takedown of PewDiePie's Firewatch content and any future Campo Santo

だが 多くの人が怒っていることや 騒がれている内容が 興味深い

games". Followed by "There is a bit of leeway you have to have with the internet when you wake up

もう知ってるかもしれないが このツイート… Sean Vann…

every day and make video games there's also a breaking point". "I'm sick of this child getting more and more chances to make money off

まぁいい

what we make". For those who don't know a DMCA claim is

「DMCA侵害でPewDiePieを訴えて『Firewatch』や Campo Santoからの全てのゲーム実況をやめさせる」

basically a Copyright strike. Umm

そして…

It's like a legal action towards your channel. It's a pretty big deal if I get more than three of them then - um -

「ゲームの開発者としては ネットの人々に多少の自由を許しているが」

my channel will shut down. So you could say this is an attack on

「限度というものもある」

me, my livelihood. So it seemed more than just

「このガキが 私たちが作ったもので 金を稼ぎ続けるのにはもう うんざりだ」

grandstanding. This seems more like an attack to me. Uh, he also followed with: "I urge other developers and will be reaching out

“DMCA侵害”っていうのはつまり 著作権侵害の警告だ

to folks much larger than us to cut him off from the content that has made him a millionaire".

チャンネルに対し “法的措置”をとるって事

So basically urging other people to do the same I don't know a lot of people aren't really sure about Let's Plays

大ごとだよ もし3回警告を受けると…

It's sort of like a gray area in legal terms, because it's not like we owned the game. We don't own

俺のチャンネルは削除される

direct licence to it and I don't think technically we can sell

まぁつまり これは俺や 俺の仕事への 攻撃と言える

the video

“相応の措置”というよりは…

with us in it and there hasn't really been a trial that tests this as well. There hasn't really been a trial that confirms

俺への攻撃に近い

"Yes, Let's Plays are protected by fair use you can't do

こうも言ってる

copyright takedown claims on them". But generally there hasn't been a case because developers

「他の開発者や 私たちより 大きなチームにも呼びかけて―」

uh, benefit

「ヤツを“百万長者”にしてきた 我々のコンテンツを取り上げさせる」

massively from Let's Players or streamers this is pretty commonly known

他の人にも 同じことをさせるのかな

eh,

“ゲーム実況”の立場は微妙なんだ

Minecraft Is a billion dollar

法的にもグレーゾーンだし…

title because of streamers, largely because of streamers and YouTubers.

俺たちはゲームを所有してるわけじゃない

Same thing you know PUBG, I don't think It probably would not be even nearly as big without streamers and

俺たちには何の権利も無い

developers know this. This is pretty commonly known and that's why even

だから 厳密には俺たちが実況した動画を “売る”ことは不可能だ

though, yes we are making money through your game it's still seen as something positive

そんなこと 試されたこともないし…

but it is sort of interesting to me this case in particular because Sean's game is very much

確信を持って言える人はいないんだ

probably the most linear game

「実況動画は著作権侵害じゃない」

in question. You know, out of all games that could have been

「実況動画を著作権侵害で 訴えることはできない」って

talked about you know to me it's really interesting how

だけど 普通は訴えられない

a game like Firewatch talks about this

実況者やゲーム配信者は 開発者にとっても好都合だからだ

in a way like this because Firewatch Is an extremely linear game it's almost like a walking

みんな それをよく分かってる

simulator. It's not a bad game, I quite enjoyed it, but

「マインクラフト」が ここまで有名に なったのも 配信者のおかげだ

arguably if you play Call of Duty and someone else play Call of Duty you're gonna get a completely different experience

配信者やYouTuberがいたからだ

almost no matter what

「PUBG」に関してもそう

but if you play Firewatch

配信者がいなければ 今ほど有名にはならなかったと思う

you're probably gonna have the exact same experience no matter who plays it, so you could say "okay, well what's the difference between

開発者もそれは分かってる だからこそ…

playing the game yourself rather than just watching someone else play it then" and ya, no, it's a fair point

たとえ俺たちが そのことで金を稼いでるとしても

and I think especially with Firewatch in mind. Personally I think either way is wrong. You're bringing in more attention to the game. People

彼らにとっては好都合なんだ

generally want to play the games themself almost no matter what. Even games that are pretty much just a

ただ 今回の件は特に興味深い

story base where you click through and read people want to play themselves and Firewatch compared to other walking simulators like the Walking Dead or

というのも Seanのゲームは…

Life is Strange it doesn't really have choices that leads to different outcomes or different endings so it's it's it is very

多分 最も深くこの問題に 関係するゲームだ

much on the line and I think there was some controversy as well with this game in the past because people

だって 他のどのゲームでも

refunded the game because it was so short and

この問題について 話す機会があったろうに

they didn't like the ending and people were streaming it so they were just worried that people were just watching it instead of buying it

俺にとっては かなり興味深いよ

So I think it's you know out of all people to come out of make a statement like this I think it's interesting that

「Firewatch」のようなゲームが こういうかたちで この問題に触れていること

this is the developer that did it. That's pretty much my point here "furthermore we're complicit and

「Firewatch」ほど 実況動画が 問題視されるゲームはない

I'm sure we made money off the 5.7 million views that video has and that's something for us to think about". now

悪いゲームじゃない 面白かったし

Let's get into the meat of this

ただ 間違いなく… 例えば 自分で「Call of Duty」をプレイするのと

Lot of people are saying I've seen a lot of tweets saying

他の人がプレイするのとじゃ

they're not abusing Copyright laws Let's Plays because Let's Plays aren't fair use.

同じゲームでも 全く違う体験になる

Get over it. I can't say for certainty that it is protected against fair use

だが「Firewatch」は…

but I'm fairly certain and most

誰がプレイしようと 同じ結果になるだろ

legal expert's would say the same. There are some arguments against it but if you watch my video you know that I'm adding my

だからこういう意見がある 「じゃぁ一緒じゃないか…」

commentary to it I'm giving my insight to it whoever watches me play it is gonna experience it

「自分でプレイしようが 他の誰かが プレイしているのを見ようが 変わらない」

differently than anyone that plays it themselves. That's just how it is. There was an interesting article about this as well

もっともな意見だ

saying "Having seen some of Pewdiepies Firewatch Let's Play video it

「Firewatch」は特にな

definitely would appear to be protected by fair use. The fact that Vanaman directly and publicly admits that he's not

でも個人的には 違うと思う

taking the video down for any valid copyright reason but rather because he thinks Pewdiepie is a "propagator of

ゲームに興味を持つ人が増える

despicable garbage" doesn't help Vaenaman's case at all,

すると 自分でやりたい人は どうであれ 自分でやるんだ

rather it gives Pewdiepie a lot more leverage to claim that any such take down would be abusive and possibly even a violation of

たとえそのゲームがストーリー中心で テキストを読み進めるだけのものでも

DMCA's against misrepresentations.

“自分でやりたい” んだ

I've also seen other legal experts

「Firewatch」は同じ系統の 他のゲーム…「Walking Dead」とか

claiming that the video isn't protected by fair use Let's Plays aren't protected by fair use

「Life is Strange」と比べて

No one can really say for certain, that's why it's a gray area.

違う結果やエンドに導くような “選択肢” は無いゲームだ

There are other legal experts saying that Let's Play's aren't legal "Firewatch DMCA's are

だから実況は かなり“危険”なんだ

legal dev's can easily destroy Youtube channel and the law isn't how you want it listen here". The thing though that a lot of people

それに…このゲームは以前 一騒動あったからな

pointed out shortly after these tweets were made

ゲームを返品する人が出てきたんだ 「あまりにも短い」とか…

was that

「エンディングが嫌い」とかで

they have a stream policy on their website. This is literally if you go to Firewatchgame.com/about.

だから 実況動画を見るだけで 買わない人が増えることを心配したんだ

It says "can I stream this game can I make money off of those streams?". "Yes.

それで「実況動画の著作権」問題について

"we love that people stream and share their experience in the game. You are free to monetize your videos as well". So people

この人が言及したって事が かなり興味深かったんだ

pointed this out but

これが今回の話題

there's still arguments against saying "it doesn't matter because Let's Plays still aren't fair use

「私たちは共犯だ」

so they can do whatever they want". And I would - I would agree because basically Sean said he will

「あの動画の570万回再生で 私たちも稼いでいる それも こういう措置を取った理由だ」

he will strike down any one of my future Let's Plays and the current the past one, but the thing is

さて

that doesn't mean he can go back and revoke from the old one. Do you know what I'm saying?

問題の核心に迫ろうか

Basically Sean has the right to strike any video that I upload from this point because he's publicly said that

多くの人が ツイートしてるのを見たんだ…

that's what he's gonna do but you can't retroactively let go and say you know what I'm revoking this license

「これは著作権法の悪用にはならない 実況動画は著作権侵害にあたるからだ」

because you are a racist garbage or whatever. That's not how DMCA work and I'm pretty sure

その通りだ

that in that form of selection bias is not gonna hold up in court imagine if

これについて 俺自身は断言できないけど

I made some

法律の専門家も 同じ事を言うと思うよ

artwork and I told people "hey you're free to use his artwork go ahead everyone"

反論もあるけどね

people start using the artwork and then I point to some people

俺の実況動画には 俺の言葉や考えが入ってる

and I say "no" and file a copyright law

だからそれを見るっていうのは 自分でプレイする時とは また違う体験だ

dispute against that. Doesn't really add up does it? So regardless if

そういうものだろ

Let's Play is fair use or not this argument of claiming my video is incorrect. Most likely if my

この事について書いた記事がある

video gets striked I can't really do anything about it, Youtube really doesn't

「Pewdiepie氏の『Firewatch』 実況動画を見る限り―」

they're sort of washing their hands around these copyright things, they kind of want

「著作権侵害とは言えないだろう」

to leave out of it, I mean they've been sued enough so it sort of makes sense. I imagine if a case like this toes to court then there's not gonna be much leverage for it.

「Vanaman氏は PewDiePie氏を訴えた理由が 正当な著作権侵害の理由ではなく」

If anything it would be a huge waste of time and money for Sean and his developing team. When I saw these tweets I

「氏を “卑劣なゴミの布教者” だと思っているから だと公的に認めているため」

immediately privatized the video out of respect for his request

「Vaenaman氏の主張は意味を為さない」

but

「この事実によりPewDiePie氏は 法の悪用について訴えることができるだけでなく」

my video got claimed anyway. They got the strike anyway, which is pretty disappointing

「DMCA 第512条 “偽りの陳述” を違反している可能性もある」

to be honest. As far as I'm concerned I didn't use any abusive language in this video.

だが異論を唱える専門家もいる

I didn't do anything that I think would be considered offensive. This video was uploaded as far as I know two years ago and I

「実況動画は著作権法で守られてはいない」

gotta say I'm pretty disappointed.

「著作権を侵害している」と

Also in people defending this that I know personally have had problem with DMCA request -

誰も定かじゃない だからグレーゾンなんだ

take down requests as well. Whether you like me or

こう言う専門家もいる

Mr. Vanaman, these laws are made to for people to take down content and whenever there's power to do

「実況動画は合法じゃない 『Firewatch』のDMCA侵害の訴えは合法だ」

so it's going to be abused and especially when the reason to take down the content has nothing to do with copyright

「YouTubeチャンネルなんて簡単に停止できる」

it's

「法律はそんなに都合よくないんだよ 分かったか！」

it sort of shows that. I think these laws are important

このツイートのすぐ後 みんなが反論に使ったもの…

for people, for artists to protect artists work and what they do and

それは…

I think and that's why I think it's really dangerous to make these sort of claims and to do these sort of copyright claims for

「配信に関するポリシー」が 彼らのサイトにあるんだ

no real valid reason, no matter what you think of me. If you have a problem with any content online or any video being up

「Firewatchgame.com/about」 で見れるよ

you're are free to tweet me I will probably see it and

「このゲームを配信しても良い？ 実況を収益化しても良い？」

I will respect that request. I did get a

「はい」

request from another developer asking the same thing "hey can you delete this video" and I did and I wouldn't have any problem

「ぜひ配信し ゲームでの体験をシェアしてください」

to have done the same with this video

「収益化も許可します」

I have a huge amount of respect for developers and what they do. I know my

みんな これについて言ってるけど…

work would not have been possible without them and

これにも反論意見がある

that's why I would never go against that. I could probably fight this in court and I would probably win

「だとしても 実況動画は 著作権法で守られてはいない」

but I decided to just delete the video and not waste everyone's time more about this.

「だから 開発者の勝手だ」

Like I said, this - everything about this was my fault the

確かに その通りだ

whole drama I'm the one starting it but I still think it's an interesting

だって Seanはこう言ったんだ

discussion to talk about and I think it's important that we don't abuse these laws because they exist to protect artists not to

「現在・過去の実況動画を削除させ この先も許可は出さない」と

make any form of censorship or

問題は…

abusive claims. This video is not meant to attack Sean or his development team or anyone

一度許可を出したものに対して 著作権侵害を訴えてることだ

I just think it's important to talk about these things. Like I said, I thought Firewatch was a really great game and

意味分かる？

I wish him all the best in the future with their next title.

Seanは 俺が “これから”出す動画に 警告を出すことはできる
