That's not actually their prerogative. Protecting their IP is, so it's very legal for them to go after ROM sites, but emulation is perfectly legal and isn't copyright infringement. Legally speaking, sending out DMCAs to channels that feature footage of emulated games is frivolous and should not be taken seriously by Youtube. But it's Youtube. They hate their own users with a burning passion.
