If you are doing what you're doing for fun and not for money, those ID Claims will do jack all to you. However, if you are raging because you are losing money, educate yourself on copyrights. Consider yourself lucky that most companies allows you to upload footage in the first place.
Those who were making videos for fun will keep doing them and, for that, I thank you. If you were doing videos for money and want to leave Youtube. Go ahead, leave. We won't miss you. Problem is: making money off something that isn't your own is illegal. Good luck on finding your new safe heaven and regaining your popularity back. Chances are, you will lose hope and abandon because your money isn't coming in.
I'm not a content creator but, if I'd be one, I would thank you just because for the fact that I can upload footage in the first place.
Above opinion was if the ID claim was right. What I'll have to agree with, is that some of the claims are claiming a SINGLE second (or short segment) of a video or complete nonsensical claim such as Sega claiming a Mario video. That is total BS and I agree. No further explanation needed.
EDIT
Don't get me wrong, I hate cash-grabbing opportunities, the copyright monopoly and stuff like that. My opinion goes in accordance with the current laws; even if I don't agree with them.
. And still, I feel like with a lot of games, the actual gameplay is enough of a creation by the players themselves to justify them getting a share. When it's an extremely controlled/scripted/cinematic game you could argue against that. But with a lot of games the player actually provides self-created content by just playing the game. Like, in a walkthrough for a shooter, the player will have their own strategy to dealing with a situation. This strategy is their creation, not the publisher's. It is therefore fair that the player should get some of the money made off the video. It wouldn't be fair for the player to get all of it, but then it wouldn't be fair for the publisher to get all of it, either IMO.
