- DSMan195276 12y agoI presume the assumption is that with Microsoft now owning Minecraft (and presumably the copyright over it, among other things), they could leverage that to get videos of Minecraft pulled off of Youtube. Personally I doubt it extremely, but you never know.
- Someone1234 12y agoMicrosoft hasn't done that with any of their other properties in the gaming division. Now Nintendo has quite a few times.
- DanBC 12y agoMS is a big organisation. Imagine one part of MS submitting stuff to YouTube for ContentID, and including the Minecraft music. Suddenly you have a bunch of people struggling to put content online.
- pbhjpbhj 12y agoMS presumably now own the intellectual property (IP) surrounding Minecraft and could choose to demand payment from people using the Minecraft TM commercially - eg to run a YouTube channel. If those channels are offering tips on circumventing MS's lockdown (yes I'm pessimistic about what MS will do) then MS will use IP initially to shut them down I imagine. The Minecraft EULA has the standard "we can change this without notice" clauses. I will be fascinated to see what changes come to it.
