About Gamersyde
Gamersyde is a commercial multiplatform web portal based in Europe, with hundreds of thousands of visitors each month from all over the world. We cover both handheld and video games platforms and the site has grown into one of the biggest gaming sites in the continent. We are able to offer fast news delivery and HD content from the upcoming games, and one of the greatest and friendliest gaming communities in the world. The HD content we provide always respects the original resolution and framerate of the games we capture, making Gamersyde the one and only place to get 1080p/4K/60fps videos with high bitrate. At a time when Youtube's subpar video compression has become the norm for most people on the Internet, we refuse to give up quality without a fight. We now also produce HDR videos, which can only be enjoyed by those who own compatible televisions. The content we produce is obviously not free of use should you want to upload our videos on your own website or YouTube channel.

Since 6198 Daysif you used a capture card to capture PS4 footage however, no such restrictions would exist because it essentially becomes more like fraps, only it's hardware instead of software. but it's still independent of the console and any outside control.
unless PC becomes a closed platform, it will never be able to control what you can and can't capture from your screen in regards to gaming or anything.

Since 6198 Daysnow, what is illegal is the download of a pirated copy of a game. THAT is against the law. that's where the legalities start and end in the situation you just gave.
now, you could ask "how would someone know if the footage you'd captured of a game was from a legally purchased copy or of a illegally downloaded copy?" and the answer most of the time is 'they wouldn't'
some developers put in specific visual "defects" as a form of anti piracy which would give the game away. for instance. quantum break had the player character wear an eye patch if the game was pirated. if that was recorded there is a clear visual identifier that the copy was illegally obtained. but the actual act of recording the game wouldn't even factor into the legalities aside from the way you ended up getting caught for piracy.
