If I were running a game company...
-Monetization only allowed with videos that use short clips and significant added content. Stuff like video reviews or video podcasts, stuff like that. Essentially what guys like IGN, GameSpot, and the major gaming blogs do.
-Let's Plays would be allowed if not monetized.
-Full cutscenes without voiceover only allowed for games where the story is NOT the primary draw. So something like The Last of Us wouldn't be okay. But Call of Duty would be fine.
-Longplays (ie full game, no voice over) and full speed runs would not be allowed within the first couple of years of the game's release.
I used 30 seconds of Other M footage in the video I brought up a few times now (
http://bit.ly/1aJYofK for those that wish to see it). The rest of it was various clips of real people, and yet, part 1 of that response - which had much more game clips than the second - was able to be monetized, and the second part wasn't because the clip I showed was a Nintendo clip? Might've also been the CNN clip, but who knows?
More to the point, who's to say that it's just going to be game commentators? What about channels like The Young Turks? What's stopping Fox News from being dicks because people keep exposing them on the net for their usual BS? This could be grounds for a "slow-burn" type of censorship where they can slowly take away the ability to do anything. You're basically waterboarding "offenders" instead of just shooting them in the head, if I'm free to use that analogy. I'm pretty sure TYT has tons of other ways to get revenue, but keep in mind of the smaller people.
Hell, people on GAF seem to like Sarkeesian's videos, what about her? Will SHE be affected, too? I can disagree with the manner of how she forms arguments until the end of the days, but I'll defend her RIGHT to have an opinion. Slow-burn censorship is still censorship.
I'm suspicious about the real reasons behind this because companies have already abused YouTube's copyright system. That's not an opinion, but an absolute, proven, documented fact!
