That just proves that those companies are not informed with copyright law and are abusing YouTube's broken flagging system where anyone can false flag video and take it down. All the gameplay videos Let's Players do are under FAIR USE. Anyone remember that Sonic fanboy Spax3? He was false flagging videos for many years of people who criticised him and he said he is owner of some fanmade company Mighty Noid or something.

I don't find this system quite fair, it gives a lot of power to the claimers and the others can barely do anything against. I also don't see the point of blocking a video because of a music exposure or a footage, afterall having people showing footage only benefits the makers of the games with free publicity and leading to people getting interested in the games and eventually buying it. Even though Rayman 1 is not commercialized in retail format anymore, I had YouTubers confessing they would purchase the game again for nostalgia. It is good to know that Ubisoft likes to see gaming videos (and I'm aware of those Idol IDs they talk about) but I am yet to find out who did the complaint to me.
I guess you have point. This flagging system is way too much one sided and person who decides to flag usually always win. With Google + name changing, one person was falsly flagged many times for impersonating someone. And the companies like Capcom are just desperate. Just because they are in money crisis they shouldn't be doing this. Tatsunoko is awesome and they like my promotion of Animes I upload.
