>>79952630Filian also allegedly used a different artist's model (which she refers to as "her skin") for use in a video game.From >>79953664>>79953945https://booth.pm/en/items/2258111>>79954085kek, that's unironcally what some twittard snackers seem to think >>79952534
>>79954085kek
>>79954231This case might be different here, the video game uses its own 3D model, with only the design as reference, and might be considered derivative enough and allowed by Amatousagi's terms.
https://youtu.be/0Z6raYURmgs?si=vEb5hlkSYliuLS8UMore lies spewed by Fillian but now in audio and video form>Model is public use and free
>>79954605The game uses the Komado model, which requires permission to use in gamesFunnily enough the Jindo model is ok with it being used in games without permissionIts like a complete idiot sandwich and she is gulping the whole thing down
>>79954796>The game uses the Komado model, which requires permission to use in gamesDo you have a source for that? Because t could simply just look like the model rather than being a straight port.
>>79954605>might be considered derivative enough and allowed by Amatousagi's termsI don't know what you're trying to say. Derivative works still abide by their terms, which specify "contact licensor" for product and corporate use. Derivative works should abide by the same terms.It's possible she did contact them, but since she didn't contact her other model artist I am doubtful.
>>79952850Someone brought up a interesting point. The tos is shown to you when you buy the model. But if you pirate it... then you wouldn't have known about it.
>>79955075I lack knowledge of JP copyright law, but allowing derivative works would in most other countries free the new model from those restrictions.But there are many other problems with the Komado model, including that it requires credit for commercial use, and I don't see any mention of it on YouTube or her Twitch about section.
>>79955277>allowing derivative works would in most other countries free the new model from those restrictionsThat would depend on the rights they grant to derivative works. I don't feel like reading the terms right now, but it would surprise me if they granted more rights than the original model.>>79955182Not only is this beyond fucking retarded, it isn't even true since the terms were distributed with the download >>79955183

>>79968361Hey, I've heard the blonde one's ASMR once.
>>79974042She's just done another on that website. Given Youtube's recent crackdown on ASMRs, it's wise to setup your own stream host like thishttps://kemomimirefle.net/live/sm6F9Pt3NFDMXU6nHBh5iPW4
>>79954231Ooh, copyright law, my favorite point of dispute. The problem with Jingo's hypothetical copyright-infringement case is that Jingo's design for Rindo is very generic. Especially looking at the design Filian re-uses, it's just a SF outfit, and clothes (especially when you look at such a common design) are considered "functional articles" and receive no copyright protection. Jingo has a strong claim to the underlying skeleton of the model--which Filian uses without modification, as far as I am aware. However, the skeleton is not used in physical merchandise and, thus, a case brought in respect of the merchandise would have to be based on the visual parts of the model. While I do believe that the visual design of the SF model of Rindo is copyrightable, it acquires a "narrow" copyright, which prohibits only direct copying.For an example, an arcade game which depicts karate would acquire "narrow" protection--banning direct copies from being sold--but not broad protection--meaning that other companies can make different arcade games which also depict karate. Data East USA v. Epyx. That same logic applies here: Jingo's SF Rindo model acquires "narrow" protection--prohibiting the sale of direct copies--but not broad protection--allowing for other people to make other creative works, such as plush toys, with the same idea, so long as the exact form is not copied. See Gund v. Swank (lion plush toy made by Gund receives only narrow protection; infringement proved by direct copying of exact design on part of Swank).Looking now to her statements, which were pointed out last thread:>she tried to screw over not just jingo but another artist for another model that is based on not-fillian>Fillian told everyone that its ok to make merch of Fillian a couple days ago>a ton of merch is credited to her as the creator with no mention of jingo(1) is what is known as "defamation". (2) is what is known as "a joke"--a few other VTubers were making the "(My manager is me.)" joke at that time. And (3) is permitted by the license--credit is "Not necessary, but preferred" for the model.Finally, as to the two items of merchandise shown in the last thread:(1) The poster. The Filian model in the advertisement seems to be just for scale, and is not part of the actual merchandise. The poster itself has no resemblance to the original model, and so cannot be considered constructively derivative of the same.(2) The plush toy. The plush toy is obviously a derivative of Filian's design--but once again, the actual material which originated in the Rindo design is nowhere to be seen. The plush toy takes its abstractions in form (which are inherent in the transformation from the medium of drawing to plush toys) from standard abstractions of anime characters, and because of this, there is no "creative work" (for lack of a better phrase) involved in the plushification of Filian which owes its origin to the Rindo model.Feel free to respond, I want to hear others' opinions.
>>79958415>Too much ... money wastedHow much did she spend on the VTuber Awards?
>>79952630https://x.com/komado_booth/status/1809236720778395986Komado, another artist of another one of Fillian's models she has used to base her merchandise and video game appearance off of, has come out to say that they never gave her permission to use that model for commercialisation. https://x.com/filianIsLost/status/1761494246916264390For readers who are wondering, they are referring to this "racing game".
>>79975259And this is the plush she is selling based off of it.
>>79975259>>79975404Holy fuck is she an honest to God moron?
>>79954085Kekw
>>79975259>>79975404So she never bothered to ask either model maker about this?
>>79975259>>79975404I really hope she can settle this all privately or else she's looking at possibly hundreds of thousands in legal proceedings.
>>79952850Fillian's gonna settle her legal dispute by doing a flip in front of the jury.
>>79954902A tad late, I suppose. But still like to link sources.>>79968416>>79975259
>>79954231What I find amusing is this little tidbit she added.>I designedYeah, it ain't looking good for her even if she tries for the whole plausible deniability angle.
>>79952615>>In the wake of the concert cancellation, NijiEN cancels a large portion of their advertised merch lineup for Anime Expo.>thingsnijihascancelled.txt
>>79975063Hmm. I am going to do my analysis when I get back home, I need to investigate a bit more before giving my opinion too. Cool argument you got there tho.
>>79975063The Rindo design really isn't that generic, and I don't know where people are getting this idea that it is from. A catgirl. Sure, that's generic.A catgirl with that specific bang shape. Those specific twintails. Those specific hair ornaments. Even having a leotard under the school uniform makes it distinct from a generic catgirl and these features are all depicted in the nendoroid.
>>79980896Welp, she's fucked.
>>79982414May she learn better.Wait...this leans into her fabe. But not in a pleasant way...
>>79980896It's "generic" because it's one of the most popular VRChat models, so people have seen a million and one recolored and modified Rindos
>>79975063>>79980896I have to say that this is the crux of it. The model has some minor but significant elements that makes it unique. If someone takes another "catgirl Vtuber" and puts it next to her, people would be able to see the differences and that can easily distinguish the two.The most hilarious part of this entire show is that people implicitly believed she had the permits because it sounded ridicolous the original author would not realize the wide merchandise use, but apparently they were too Japanese to notice until the Nendo came out.
>>79983649I remember when she announced the Novel Horizons figure at the VTAs, thinking "this is a little much for a design she doesn't own, but she *probably* got the rights for this or it wouldn't be happening"And, well
>>79969034WHY WOULD YOU SAY THIS
>>79984311All I can hope is that this was a joke and she has some proof of payment for the model.
>>79984820I always assumed she meant "basically nothing"--as in, buy a VRChat model and reskin it, and not pay 10k for a formal model.
>>79964070For a sec, I thought this doxx.
>>79984311Zoomer audience, please understand.

>>79952713Copy Wrong anon here, it's time for that delayed week in review!ANYCOLOR RETURNS TO NOTHINGAnycolor's week to say the least has been nothing short of absolute hell, as they lost 218 yen for the week as they head into the weekend at 2541 yen. They're now back in the same range they were around late March-Early April of this year after the Q3 report. The big defining event however, is the buyback is now officially over. And while losing that avenue to help bump their stock is detrimental, I think we'll have to wait and see on how next week works out to get a sense on what will happen later on.But we now have a deadline for them, the Shareholder's meeting will be on the 30th. As things stand, we'll likely see investors that have stuck by him grill him for his performance since the last meeting. To put into perspective on how the stock has performed since the last meeting (July 28th, 2023), Anycolor has lost around 28% of their stock as of yesterday. They have 3 and a half weeks to try and potentially salvage their situation, but it's probably already fubar.COVER STAYS ON TOPCover's week has been nothing short of a feat of endurance, as they see a small 23 yen gain for the week. Quite commendable, considering the first two days and the day after the buyback. However, they've been rather stuck for the most part if you look at the bigger picture. Since their initial return to the 2000s on the 21st of June, Cover has only ever managed to surpass that price at closing once. But have managed to hold steady around 1900 and 2000, but with events like the Dodger's collab happening today this might the opportune time to finally have firm hold in the 2XXX region. But if Cover dosen't move the needle, it's safe to say that they've hit their limit, at least for now.Anyway, that's all from me this weekend, if anything comes up that might need a look through be sure to tell me. Stay safe.

>>80061639If we left it at that, we wouldn't have 50 threads on the subject.
>>80069848That's kind of frightening, as it'll affect a whole lot more than just the clippers, and shows that Youtube is becoming the sort of company that's readily willing to shoot itself in the foot for no good reason - like Nijisanji. They keep trying to push the #Shorts on us with that god awful player, probably have about half their view hours made up of clips from streamers of all sorts, most of which make clips of themselves, there no doubt being millions of viewers that watch nothing but, and after maybe a decade plus of this status quo, they're gonna try to say they don't want anything that isn't purely long form OC on their platform? (Yet still have fucking #Shorts flooding everyone's feed with two bloody bars.)
>>80072455yeah it is not just clippers that get attacked here, its not just vtubers... And I think people who will celebrate don't understand that what we are going to have instead is vtubers themselves or corpos hiring (or giving revenue earned, hell maybe even for free, whichever) clippers to do the clips and translations which can then be uploaded in the official channels. So really, don't celebrate, it's not a good thing.

>>80096753Too long, small font on the phone. Any keypoints?
>>80100285Me and ChatGPT got you. Is this better?>Insight from merchandising employee and avid Hololive fan worked at the stadium during the game. Chaos stemmed from Hololive and Cover underestimating their fans and the Dodgers not realizing Hololive's popularity. Employees suggested selling merch in stores and setting a buy limit, but these measures were not implemented in time.>The buy limit was set at ten items, which the employees found excessive, but likely a decision by the Dodgers to avoid leftover stock. The main issue was that it was a one-night event, preventing merch from being sold in stores due to logistical constraints.>Most of the blame falls on the Dodgers for underestimating the market, while Cover should have pushed for store sales or better selling options. Despite the chaos, the employee hopes this doesn’t deter future collaborations. The night was a learning experience, and they hope for more events like this with better planning.>For those who suffered that night, the employee sincerely apologizes. The criticism is valid and necessary to improve future events. They urge everyone to acknowledge the flaws but also the potential, encouraging Cover and others to continue these collaborations.
>>80100285Blames mostly the Dodgers for severely underestimating the number of customers for the Hololive stuff, having used a temporary tent instead of the store front, and having the item limit set to 10 items, instead of maybe 2-3. They tried to compensate by pulling a bunch of people from the store, but alas, it was too little, too late. Hopes this doesn't discourage Cover and the Dodgers from working together again.As potential problems go, selling too much merch is probably among the ones you'd prefer to have, though it is kind of failing their promise to their investors to stop doing that sort of thing (>>80097702).
>>80096753This doesn't actually say anything meaningfully new at all.
>>80101628I mean, there's only so much you can say about, "we underestimated demand". More of a blow by blow account.
>>80101341To be fair, as for the promise, this is not entirely Cover's fault, which the Dodgers merch employee explained. This was not an anime convention or a concert by Cover, so I can understand hesitating even more when this was a collab with an overseas sports team.
>>80102004The blame probably is mostly on the Dodgers organization, but it's become a pattern for Cover. Hosting at the King's Theater was prestigious, but similarly, it's not nearly large enough. It's also not as if Cover couldn't have given them more merch than would fit in a tent, or repeatedly reminded them that just one of those girls has enough fans to fill their whole stadium a hundred times over.
>>80102833Given the comment at the shareholders' meeting, hopefully they will do more on this point (in the future). I think (I hope) that the question at the meeting and the repeated concerns over 5th fes. and Makuhari and other events (including the Dodgers collab) will encourage them to ... sell more merchandize ... and get larger venues ... which are together their big money-earners.
>>80102833Business and Marketing anon here. Reading the whole thing and even the reddit post, the main issue was the logistics, not the amount of merch. Even if Cover had given more merch, the Dodgers didn't trust the popularity of Hololive enough to give them a store, or another merch selling point within the stadium grounds. Cover could have pushed, but I don't think it's easy for an overseas entertainment company barely establishing themselves in the USA to push a highly popular MBL team. It was an unfortunate misstep, but clearly more on Dodgers's side, though reasonable.

>>80112289Yes, just check the 'log. It's a mess out there. This feels as bad as the stuff around Selen's termination, which is pretty bizarre given that she doesn't have that much presence on /vt/ (her general is barely a month old) and that the yab is more tame. It's not quite as bad, but still.
>>79952615>picrelimpossible, gooba doesn't read
>>80112289it's the first proper yab since the selen thing so yeah of course it draws attention

>>80112289>>80112483I'm not defending the most recent stupidity from her but she has a very dedicated group of antis made up of vtweeters and 2views - I really wouldn't be that surprised if some of it was coordinated raiding.
>>80112785Having made the mistake to browse catalog threads, there's a lot of Twitter-speak there--I got a good chuckle at an "anon" asking for her to be "deplatformed".
>>80112785>>80112920Jealousy, the deadliest sin.So deadly it changed mankind's entire career in this earth.
>>80112483>It's not quite as bad, but still."Not quite as bad"... Neglecting to replace a model you thought was free is not even in the same global hemisphere of a company driving one of its talents to suicide, covering it up, and repeatedly attacking her.She should have known better, and seems she almost must have, given that at least one of her merch items credits Jingo, but this little ditty does not deserve nearly so much attention. There's clearly some organized hate going on.
>>79952850>Parrot4Chan Angers CCPCurrently part of the title of an LM livestream that I can't be bothered to watch, so I'll mark it as a rrat that could be newsworthy in the future.

>>80116594>Parrot4Chan Angers CCPWas because his recent video of Niji? He had to do his research first. Why Hololive doesn't play Mihoyo? Because china blocked them in result of the Coco controversy. Mihoyo is a chinese company, and with putting all that stuff from /here/ alongside the sponsor, it was really obvious he would get into trouble.

Jingo states that he's talked with Filian and GSC, and has requested that they suspend all merch production until further notice, possibly permanently.He says a lot of other more nuanced stuff, too, but I don't know Japanese and I'm not going to trust Google Translate or DeepL that much, so JP-knowledgable bros would be helpful here (or KRbros, since he also posts it in Korean).https://x.com/jingo_1016/status/1809811423125729396

They didn't even get to the global expansion part btw and you are already making stadium long lines in western events, and those are just collabs.

>>80122972I sell FWMC merch in Artist Alley and 90% of the time my customers buy both, or I can guilt trip into buying both if they only buy one.
>>80122628I remember the days of everyone clowning on Yagoo for comparing Hololive to AKB48. Not just because of their unseiso-ness, but because the collective consensus (even among the actual fans) was something like "pfft, VTubers are popular right now, but it's not like they're ever gonna be AKB48 popular". And now Hololive is such a big name that their collaboration with AKB48 was a fucking footnote compared to what happened just one day prior.
>>80118449Off-topic explanation, I will take the vacation if needed: Yeah, basically China is ramping up the representation of strong manly tough men and banning any if not most representations of effeminate men or potential weak men in media.Their whole Twink/femboy market kinda imploded over the course of a few weeks because they were actually arresting and fining left and right to anyone and anything who didn't take the announcement seriously, thousands of careers and public images or personalities ruined overnight because nobody wants beef with the CCP, some companies legit dissolved all of their boy band and influencer groups and operations all-together too. Many fled or just decided to throw it all away. Heck, there's people who literally cannot legally show their face because they look effeminate by default and so they would get arrested by going out without a mask or make up to uglify themselves. Also don't even try to use any sort of clothes that make you look effeminate, will also land you in jail (temporarily).The reason is that they want their men and kids-eventually-men to cultivate a culture of strength so they are ready to take on the world if needed because of the Taiwan war possibility thing. Also because they believe that the whole effeminate thing kind of, spreads itself automatically if not stopped, you get the idea.Someone else made a better analysis but:>TLDR; They are slowly entering into a severe irreversible natality crisis so they are trying to compensate with a strong men image... Saving face concept all-over again.>How does that affect VTubers.Right now it's literally illegal to be any sort of effeminate as a VTuber in China, if your model looks like a girl or girly but you are a guy, bye-bye, if your model or personality is kinda like that, also bye, deplatformed, if you try to complain you also get a knock on your door.In other words, that whole aspect of Chinese VTubing just got erased from the face of the Earth. Can you imagine how much content and stuff got lost just because your Gov is scared that they don't look strong to foreigners?, wtf. It's like if the JP government banned traps because it hurts the childbirth rates, it's batshit insane and it's a deflection, because they are not really tackling the root of the issue, just patching over holes.The real issue is their own government, and they will never admit it. Not even as a joke. Because it's China. They will take it to the grave.Summer is kinda cool, might go out soon. Already got the Suisei songs loaded on an MP3.It is what it is.
>>80116594>>80119569parrot twitted the dm of the sponsorship guy that he agreed to the terms which was placed on him. we all know the whole taiwan thing is absurdly dumb, but he still agreed to it and then proceeded to go against it, now he's crying that they can keep their 2k. this is some virtue signalling if ive seen one.
>>80124565>Please do not include violence, sex, politics related content.>Please do not swear, drink, smoke, or do drugs during content.Sounds like it's on them for accepting someone they've never vetted and isn't remotely brand friendly.Who cares either way, not much of a story here.
>>80124370Imagine being imprisoned for being a trap lmao
>>80125113Considering their population...It's likely there's several in that position right fucking now.Scary...
>>80120586Really? A vtuber in legal trouble? LM is pretty much required to do a bit on it by law, at this point.Indeed, I think someone around here called it like the second the story broke, warning of the impending board implosion. ...and someone else brought up the Rindo issue before it broke (>>79904237), as I guess your average Anon is following Filian's model rights more closely than she is.
>>80124370That great firewall of China better be really good, as if they think they're suffering from population implosion now, they are going to be in hell of trouble when all their teenage girls fall in love with foreign boy bands and can't find anything like that at home.
>>80126206>That great firewall of China better be really goodIt's not, they all VPN out to shit up the rest of the Internet.
>>80122082From what I read>All she had to do was fucking ask>Filian has to stop using the model and stop producing merch>Repeating what the snackers have been told for the past 2 days. Getting the model doesn't give you full rights to it>Heavily against letting it be used outside VRchat, high chance he would've said "no" to the merch even if she did ask>He would NEVER sell the rights of any of his models to Filian>Negotiations are still ongoing
>>80126796kek. is the consent meme applicable here?
>>80126796>IsrealDEATHCON 5!!!
>>80126796Man at the end of the day what Jingo does doesn't even matter. Good smile is going to destroy her for: lying that she owns the model and dragging their reputation through the mud. They will never work with indies after this
>>80122082Here, from the kurosanji translators:>Hello, this is Jingo.>Please forgive the delay in my response as I have just returned home early this morning.>I have received all the replies from the concerned Vtuber and Good Smile Company, and we will proceed in a direction that maximally guarantees my rights.>My position is to have a smooth negotiation through open communication.>The models I create are products that anyone can use if purchased on BOOTH. They are primarily designed as avatars for VRChat. According to the terms of use, avatars may also be used outside of VRChat, provided they are not accessible by third parties other than the purchaser. Individual Vtuber activities such as video and streaming are also allowed.>However, just because a model is purchased on BOOTH does not mean that the purchaser holds all the rights, as they are essentially borrowing the model. Therefore, if revenue is generated through general Vtuber activities such as videos or streaming, I ask for credit attribution.>For activities with significant commercial potential beyond general Vtuber activities, such as character merchandise production, prior notification is required as per the terms of use. We provide guidance on credit attribution after review.>Generally, this is not an issue since individual Vtubers often proceed with production and sales directly without involving companies. 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.>The issue I raised is that the Vtuber in question did not own the copyrights to the character yet proceeded with a project involving a company without any report to the original creator, which is a problem.>Therefore, I have requested that the production schedule for this character merchandise project be suspended. I do not seek royalties or incentives; I only wish to protect the character's copyright.>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.>I want to emphasize that my BOOTH characters are shared models, not exclusive to one person. Since these are not completely my original designs, no matter how much they are modified, traces of the original creator remain, and thus, I cannot relinquish the copyright.>Please note that the terms of use differ for each creator and model, so verify them before using a model.>Thank you for your continued support.
>>80127497>They will never work with indies after thisI don't think it's going to be that harsh, but they will be very picky about it from now on.
>>80127981>I do not seek royalties or incentives; I only wish to protect the character's copyright.What a bitch, fucking up someone else's project not even for the money, but just for the sake of it
>>80128067>You will immediately cease and not continue to access the site if you are under the age of 18.
>>80128067Suddenly ignoring this part, you fucking retard?>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.
>>80126796Everything you typed is wrong including the part where you claim to have read this
>>79952630Mikeneko posted a cosplay of unrelated character Uruha Rushia. Readers may recall that this is indeed the year AD 2024, and that she indeed may never move on.https://x.com/95rn16/status/1809701511691399318
>>80128267Alright, then summarize it yourself retard.Go on, we are waiting. Deliver.
>>80127981Is he an angel?Does he seriously want 0 money from this whole thing?
>>80128321HOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuUUUuUuuuuUuUUCkkkkkkk
Welcome to the bread bankWe got bread on the deckbread on the floorroastedtoasted/news/ will be posted.
>>80128600Bless you
>>80128321Mikeneko being completely incapable of letting go is so not news at this point that I don't even want to report on it, similar to 2view twitter drama.
>>80128321Man this is just sad, It's like those who were child actors with only one major role in their entire career and now as adults and failures they still cling to that one role even though most people don't care anymore.
>>80128321...ANONS Do you all think she, well, you know.Does stuff while pretending to be Rushia?Also, uh, more concerning even, for how long do you all think she has owned that cosplay?, I don't believe she just got it. It doesn't even look that shiny with all those filters on so it defo has been in-use for a while.I need to drink something cold after watching this. Actual too much internet for today.
>>80128883>Does stuff while pretending to be Rushia?I wonder if she re-enacts that copypasta about pretending to be Rushia who's been raped and crying in the shower.Probably does, honestly.
>>80128949She probably stabs Mafumafu homemade plushies and dolls while wearing it.
>>80128949give sauce of the fanfic
>>80129057https://warosu.org/vt/thread/3241343
>>80128949I wonder if she sometimes streams in full Rushia cosplay and we don't see it because she's not using her webcam at those exact moments.
>>80129543I wouldn't put it past her. She probably thinks she literally is Rushia.
>>80128400Man, this messed up world still has some good souls. There's this artist I know who creates assets for VTubers, and all her stuff is priced at 3 bucks or less. Every single one. As she puts it, "It's just enough to put food on my table."
>>80129777Meanwhile the greedy cunts rule everything by taking and not giving
NEW ISSUE>>80129653>>80129653>>80129653This one's on the house; I just want to make sure the news gets out there.
