Wed 14th Aug there doesn't need to be an excuse for it regardless of the year.Although I find it hard to get excited for new music services when most of the existing ones end up region-locked to Bowser's guts and back. As with anything in this industry, it's best to discuss something seriously once it seriously happens. Nintendo's own music service would certainly be a nicer option in all regards, but C&D's would be something Ninty's legal folks are paid for with or without such a service existence. Chances are the certain other sources are exactly where the generation of gilvasunners gets a lot of this music to upload from.? We can all live without this music if you can't get your inner fan to do the same, you can but pirate this stuff at your own risk and your own conscience bargains - but last time I checked, YouTube was never the extent of piracy's facilitation either. I know the feeling of annoyance at such a lack of official purchase options first-hand, but it's hard to seriously fault what's literally a company's own business without trespassing the domain of first world problems. "Yes, Nintendo has every right to protect its music, and nobody should expect to be able to distribute its content without facing repercussions, but Nintendo doesn't offer an alternative"Īnd doesn't have to, let's be honest. Without unofficial channels like GilvaSunner, what are fans supposed to do? At present, fans flock to channels like these because Nintendo - for the most part - doesn't make game soundtracks available to purchase or stream via legitimate platforms.
Yes, Nintendo has every right to protect its music, and nobody should expect to be able to distribute its content without facing repercussions, but Nintendo doesn't offer an alternative.
It reuploads official game soundtracks for viewers to enjoy without a licence to do so, which gives Nintendo every right to issue the copyright claims in question, but some feel that the situation isn't quite as black and white as that. The channel in question is GilvaSunner, which since launching back in 2010, has amassed over 862 million views.

Yet another prominent YouTube channel has received an almighty number of copyright claims from Nintendo relating to official game music, becoming the latest in a series of channels facing a similar fate.
