Due to the funny coincidence that The Phantom Pain has the exact same initials it's difficult to find out if there's a similar topic already created... sorry if there is!
Without getting too political sounding some of the ways this agreement can affect video games and Giant Bomb specifically is pretty scary. Those that create derivative works (like Quick Looks) under fair use are not protected in the same ways as copyright holders. Games journalists also have a lot to lose as they can be criminally punished for reporting on unreleased game information.
As someone who has personally participated in the copyright grey area by creating fanart for events, I think it is something worth being informed on. I thought this video was pretty good in outlining a very dry and boring subject with real world examples (like the Dark Souls fixes)
What do you guys think? Would you like to see the Bomb crew discuss this kind of stuff in more detail on the podcast or in an article?
