A few months ago, my colleague Jay Kerr-Wilson published this blog post on the intellectual property issues surrounding the phenomenon of “Let’s Play” videos, a genre of online videos where an individual records and broadcasts themselves playing a video game. The individual might film themselves or just provide audio commentary, but in either scenario their own content is layered on top of the game that they are playing. The blog post discusses how this video genre could be considered copyright infringement with respect to the video game being played, as well as why generally we are not seeing infringement cases in this area because of the symbiotic relationship between content creators and video game publishers. As an avid consumer of YouTube and Twitch content myself, I enjoy a variety of different video genres—Let’s Play videos included. In fact, there is one particular video genre that I find myself consistently exploring: “reaction” videos. In Part I of this blog post, I’ll discuss about what reaction videos are, why they’re relevant with respect to copyright infringement, and how an exception under the Copyright Act might apply to them. In Part II of this blog post, I’ll explore the Copyright Act exception at…

SEOUL -- South Korea's web service company Kakao will shut down the profit-making system of its personal streaming service to focus on media businesses including the production of original video content. The strategy to narrow its focus in the media content sector benchmarks that of Netflix, the American over-the-top service operator which has become the world's most popular media with endless waves of high-quality original content. A personal streaming service is provided via online video platforms. Each user called "creator" produces content that is broadcast live while interacting with audience through chats. Creators receive donations from viewers or broadcasting advertisements and share their profit with platform operators. Twitch and YouTube are the world's top two most popular personal streaming service operators. Kakao TV, the personal streaming service wing of Kakao, said it would shut down its donation and profit-sharing service in July. Creators will be allowed to keep on broadcasting their content, but they cannot make a profit any longer. "We have been working since the second half of 2020 to go through our step-by-step transformation into a video content service that offers original content similar to those offered by TV channels and cable TV services," Kakao TV…
