>>80129653>Local>>Post >>80000000(Cross-thread) goes to a Pebble that just wants to be happy. "Wasted GET," anons say, seething at the fact that nothing has made them happy in years.My sides.
Some comments about Jingo's statement posted last thread:Summary:>I'm in communication with Filian (Mystic?) and GSC.>Buying model on BOOTH=/getting license>Small-scale stuff is fine, but not large-scale stuff, commercial or otherwise>Stands on his rights to make a point???The "small-scale stuff" actually goes against the terms of the license, but I suppose it's a matter of his personal preference. The license prohibits any merchandizing, at any scale, without prior approval. Presumably he just allows minor merchandizing unrelated to companies. (On a side note, this makes Filian's comment about allowing others to make merch of her model non-problematic since, according to Jingo, such small-scale production is allowed.)>However, if a Vtuber is affiliated with an office, company, or corporation, we require accurate information and advance notice, even if the usage is not commercial.This is simply not true. The license does not make a difference between independent and otherwise affiliated VTubers in terms of usage restrictions. While this does matter in terms of merchandizing--i.e., Jingo would disallow any merchandize made of a VTuber using the model if the merchandizing is done through a company or the VTuber is affiliated--it does not prevent someone from using the model for VTuber activities if the VTuber is affiliated.>Allowing such projects, like selling copyright licenses, would result in each character derived from my models having their own copyrights, potentially leading to complex copyright disputes among users of the same base model.This is what is known as a "skill issue". Jingo could quite easily hire a lawyer to draft a license agreement that would avoid this problem. If this is his only issue with merchandizing, then he just doesn't understand copyright; but based on his earlier statement, he just seems to be one of those annoying artists who sit on their rights to make the lives of others more difficult. Truly despicable.
>>80139699>selective enforcementmaybe next time choose a stronger foundation for retarded autism that no one asked for, isn't news, and belongs on the catalog
>>80139699One thing I forgot to mention, he says "I ask for credit attribution." This is literally true: he _just asks_ for it, but doesn't require it.
>>80139699>>80140290>arguing semanticsLeave that to a lawyer.Most likely Booth has checkboxes for the license (in order to generate the easy-to-understand ToS), but Jingo has the ability to apply nuance when contacted.
>>80140670>Jingo has the ability to apply nuance when contactedYeah, the licenses very clearly looked like they were made by picking-and-choosing from a pre-generated selection. However, when you make a license you have to abide by it, and the license Jingo made (by choosing that option) is that attribution is requested, but not required. He could change it, but this wouldn't matter to people who already have a license (like Filian), unless the license allows for it. (He also can't terminate the license, like some people on Twitter think that he can or has already.)
>>80132733Nice eigo Flare
>>80139699>The license does not make a difference between independent and otherwise affiliated VTubers in terms of usage restrictions.The license only states that you must contact the creator for approval. If Jingo makes a blanket rule allowing independent merch production, that is well within the purview of the terms, which rely entirely on Jingo's personal discretion.This thread really does not need agenda-driven, bias-laden retorts from salty fans, snacker. Please choose one of the myriad catalog threads to play debate club.
>>80129671Suisei invited Ririka and Kanade to her NHK radio program
>>80132308Not 10:40 AM ET, it will start at 10:20 AM ET as originally planned
>>80141604>Jingo's personal discretionI mentioned it because while one side is permissible discretion--allowing small-time work--the prohibition on corporate relations is not present in the license. The permission-of-licensor restriction applies only to merchandise, and thus discretion only exists within that realm.Also, you seem really defensive? I'm not a snacker, (I guess that's what her fans are called, or some zoomer slang,) but I'm just engaging in a simple comparison between the license and Jingo's statement.
>>80131159beware that posting this is against board rules >>1 you might get bonked for it
>>80143717Nta. Interestingly the jannies seem to have completely given up when it comes to her. The thread with this pic as the OP reached bump limit last night, there's another one that's about to reach bump limit, and I think I saw a third that was up for hours at least.
>>80143889interesting. Nyanners' self cosplay/face reveal gets bonked every time because "muh irl"
>>80131159imagine how much money she could make by opening up an onlyfans with this outfit. it would be both figuratively and literally obscene

>>80130568I've already seen 3 different filian clips where she explicitly admits to illegally ripping off a vrchat model. One of them she explicitly uses the word illegally. She's been bragging for a long time apparently.

>>80149115Have to agree with >>80124667, the face looks terrible
>>80149115>>80149346Was just about to say the same thing. The body is sexy but the way they drew the angle of the head just looks very disproportionate. It's angled in a way for when you look down and you can see the root line of your head. But the model is just looking straight in front of the camera.
>>80149346It's really narrow.
>>80149115to the jp# correspondent: I suggest adopting a similar image for highlighting purposes
>>80145975I've seen girls on Fansly doing Hololive cosplay porn, so I don't think there's anything manifestly illegal about it, or at least nothing the company is going after
>>80144146Nyanners all things considered has not ran herself into a career-ending Yab yet and might actually never so I can see why that's still a no-go to post /here/.
>>80150590but it aint just any girl, its the girl behind the character
>>80150447I guess it's good for anchor crossposting, but it doesn't really fit for individual news posts, isn't it?
>>80143038>the prohibition on corporate relations is not present in the licenseYes, it is. Because the license declares that all merchandising must be done through contact with the creator. If, after doing so, he declines your corporate merchandise, that is within the license's terms.In layman's terms, the license is literally "ask me first." It does not need to state specific approvals within the license because the approvals are done case-by-case at the artist's discretion.>I'm not a snacker, (I guess that's what her fans are called, or some zoomer slang,)
>>80153015>the prohibition on corporate relationsHis Tweet response makes it out that the license prohibits any contacts with a corporation in any context--at least, that was how I read it. _That_ restriction is neither present in the license nor a matter of discretion. Merchandizing is, as I have already said, a matter of discretion, which discretion he has exercised.And also, honestly, I'm not a snacker. I've only watched Filian when she's collabed with people I watch.
