>company that made and owns Rindo finally sued filian for years of intellectual property damage>japanese copyright law is known for being weaponized autism written by Nintendo and Toei lobbyists>they actually won and force her to nuke everythingRip fucking bozo
True if based.
Finally
filian!!!!!! Oh nyoooooooooooooo!!!!!
>>111524361jjingo and her settled this long ago
>>111525168They settled the Nendo thing, not the model usage as a wholeAlso Filian isnt exactly a reliable narrator
>>111525168the settlement might have been a specific time she is allowed to keep using it for
>>111525510jingo literally tweeted that everything was okay
>>111524361she doesn't have to lose a lawsuit to want to get away from it especially if she's planning to monetize more when she redebuts
>>111525510The Nendo thing WAS the entirety of that long-since-resolved kerfuffle. The TOU for the Rindo model does not include merch rights.
>>111524361En5
>>111528591I still can't believe she slipped up like that. I guess nobody questioned it, but did she forget or what?
>>111531413The most charitable explanation is that she didn't read the fine print when she purchased her Rindo model. The short version of that fine print is that users are allowed to use Palette Swap Rindo for their livestreams and videos and such, but cannot use Palette Swap Rindo for physical merch like Nendoroids; they either need to get express written consent from the guy who created Rindo, or they have to modify their Rindo model into a Legally Distinct™ Rindo model before merchandising it, and Filian did neither of these things.Of course, this assumes she acquired her Rindo model legally. Pirating it would open up another can of worms, in addition to all of the above.
>>111525665It must SUCK to be Jingo right now...
>>111531413she actually talked about that last year "I never got into the details but basically it was always agreed that I could make merch so long as it wasn't in high volume and the problem with the Nendo specifically was that it was seen as a big deal to the Nipponese."my rrat:jingo probably didn't sue her because they had a written agreementshe didn't bother talking about it because shit already hit the fan at that point
>>111524361It's a strong rrat but you're missing an even stronger one.Filian never got permission from VRChat or the worlds she appeared in to monetize the streams she made with them.This is why she selectively privated some of her old VODs, and now has probably done some deal with VRChat or some new tech company that requires a completely fresh start.
Filian and FalseEyed are doing a big project together.Maybe a vtuber agency, maybe a replacement for Mythic. Maybe something new entirely.
Rindo model is Free

>>111533189i'm glad someone else is putting those pieces together. some of the other sudden indy graduations recently might also be for this new agency unless they are all holo or niji.
>>111524361
>>111528591>>111531707>>111531918When Neuro became Legally Distinct™ Hiyori there were people telling Filly to do the same and if she had none of this would be happening
>>111534843>none of thisNone of what? Taking a 5 month hiatus? Whatever is delaying her is either something that would take 5 months regardless of when she made the model change (because of the scale of the technical and organizational changes she planned to make at the same time), or is completely unrelated to the model e.g. getting married or pregnant or stalked or bereaved or jury duty or hospitalized.
>>111524361G Rindo n my dick fanfic loser
>>111533001Bro.. Do you have any idea how many VRwhores they would be forced to sue if they start bitching about monetization?
>>111535158They're not forced to sue anyone. You can lose a trademark if you don't enforce it, but copyright law doesn't require copyright holders to launch expensive lawsuits against everyone who infringes their rights.In nearly all cases, the amount of money you can extract from an individual infringer is less than the cost of paying the lawyers to win your case. Filian is the only target who potentially has the funds to be worth pursuing in court. After the copyright holders have set the precedent, they can maybe go after smaller streamers.Don't get me wrong, this is a terrible idea from a marketing point of view, but it's possible that the company behind VRChat was facing bankruptcy and they sold the ownership of the company to a legal troll who saw a quick way to make some money off their rotting corpse.
>>111535471Yes they would. Unless they want their cases overturned.
>>111535612Why would the cases be overturned? Do you have some precedent in mind where someone's copyright case was overturned due to not having sued enough other defendants?
>>111524361No way
