    Exactly. They own the game.

    Let’s plays are derivitive work. They legaly can do whatever they want with it.

    Mojang also already DMCA’d people: https://youtu.be/9ARAhvFEA3s

      They shouldn’t have that power. The content creator owns the content they created

        If you steal someone’s car, and then repaint it, is it yours now?

          More like if you make a video that reviews a car, that doesn’t give the manufacturer the right to remove it. This was a let’s play, they weren’t redistributing the game.
