| Lately I've been making good on my new year's resolution this year to take better care of my teeth (not that I hadn't been taking care of my teeth prior to 2018, but namely to floss more). I even went the extra mile of rinsing out my mouth with mouth wash twice a day (something I used to do but fell... |

| Bumped to pose an additional question. Does anyone know if it is illegal to bypass HDCP? The PS3 has HD protection which prevents HD video to be recorded by a capture device (called HDCP). However an HDMI splitter is capable of bypassing it. The PS4 also has this encryption, though it can simply be ... |

| I'm at a point where I feel like I am competent enough at social interaction, and that includes strangers, but I am still a nervous wreck when it comes to job interviews. I don't know what it is about it; I think it's just the fact that I am under someone's scrupulous judgment, and it shakes me to m... |

| Resurrecting this thread for a couple of reasons. The first is that I just bought a capture device…and I'm suddenly afraid to use it. I'm still on the fence about doing Let's Plays; I know it should be straightforward: get permission from the developer and publisher or don't do it and just review th... |

| I amn't a gamer, but I like the OP question from a legal POV. It appears that the copyright status of Let's Play videos or discussion is questionable and unfinished. As such, copyright is presumed unless there is no obvious claim to it. The degree of copyright can be a mix-and-match variety of clai... |

| For what it's worth, TobyGames was allowed to play L.A Noire, as long as he skipped certain cutscenes. That adds another layer of questions. How would I know if I'm not allowed to show certain cutscenes? Not to worry. If she was talking about Youtube rules then those only really apply if you're a y... |

| If the publisher and developer are dead, then there's nothing stopping you from freely using the content. If they've been taken over by a different company, then that's a different story. I had Disney's Hercules in mind when I posed that question (I figured what better way to begin Let's Plays than... |

| Lately I've been wanting to start a Let's Play series, but I can't help but question the legality of it. All I can find in my research are answers to whether or not someone can monetize a Let's Play, but I have no intention of monetizing my videos whatsoever. So…am I fair game to record a Let's Play... |

I second this. Easily one of my favorites. Wish there were more furry games out there; this console generation is perfect for them, yet all we get is the Ratchet and Clank reboot (of which I am not a fan). |

I only get to see my friend once or twice a year, so I don't have the advantage of physically being there when I'm needed most. Anyhow, my friend has a form of depression, wh... |
